Leaf rust resistance in five triticale cultivars was controlled by a single gene designated LrSatu. This gene was closely linked in coupling with the stem rust resistance gene SrSatu believed to be located on chromosome 3R. Approximately 50% of lines in the 17th International Triticale Screening Nursery possessed SrSatu and LrSatu. Lines carrying SrSatu and LrSatu occurred more frequently among complete than in substituted triticale lines.Key words: × Triticosecale Wittmack, P. graminis f.sp. tritici, P. recondita f.sp. tritici, leaf rust, stem rust, rust resistnace, genetic linkage.

Cytogenetic Evidence

Backcross lines of gene LrT2 for resistance to leaf rust in the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) 'Thatcher' unexpectedly show improved resistance to stem rust compared with that of the recurrent parent. Genetic–cytogenetic evidence indicates that LrT2 is on chromosome 7D, which is known to carry the "suppressor" gene(s) that prevent the expression of stem rust resistance conferred by other genes in 'Canthatch'. Thus, LrT2 may be a nonsuppressing allele of the suppressor gene(s) or be closely linked to such an allele. LrT2 has been designated Lr34. Key words: Triticum, wheat, rust resistance.

Leaf Rust Resistance Genes

Studies were undertaken to identify the genes conferring stem rust and leaf rust resistances in Amagalon and to determine the usefulness of this line as a source of rust resistance in oat breeding programs. Amagalon was crossed with certain rust-resistant and rust-susceptible lines and segregating populations were tested with pathotypes of Puccinia graminis avenae and P. coronata avenae. Tests with the widely virulent P. graminis avenae pt 94+Pg-13 indicated that resistance in Amagalon was governed by the complementary recessive gene complex known as Pg-a. This hypothesis was further substantiated by temperature sensitivity tests and by a test of induced susceptibility to stem rust, known to be unique to lines possessing Pg-a. However, Amagalon yielded a unique source of resistance to leaf rust that was effective against current pathotypes of P. coronata avenae in Australia. This gene, assumed to be Pc91, was inherited independently of a second leaf rust resistance gene present in cv. Culgoa. It was concluded that Amagalon is a useful source of resistance to leaf rust that should be used in combination with other genes for resistance to prolong its effectiveness.

Deletion mutants were produced in a translocated chromosome segment derived from Thinopyrum distichum (Thunb.) Löve. Spikes of the translocation line 'Indis' were irradiated with gamma rays at dosages of 15, 20, and 25 Gy. The irradiated spikes were pollinated with 'Inia 66' pollen and the F2 and F3 generations screened for translocation mutants, using the genes for leaf rust resistance and yellow endosperm pigmentation as markers. Finally, endopeptidase polymorphisms were utilized to select mutant translocation homozygotes within each of 29 families. An investigation of polymorphisms at the α-Amy-D2 and Wsp-D1 loci of chromosome arm 7DL revealed that 'Indis' did not produce an α-AMY-D2 product, but it did produce a novel WSP-D1 protein. The mutants were characterized for their leaf and stem rust resistances and the presence of WSP-D1 and yellow flour pigments. The stem rust resistance gene could not be accurately mapped. The linear order of the remaining loci on 7DL was centromere - leaf rust resistance - Wsp-D1 and yellow pigment. The data obtained suggested that the 'Indis' translocation has homo(eo)logy to the Lr19 translocation and homoeology to 7DL of common wheat.Key words: wheat, interspecific gene transfer, translocation, deletion mapping.

A partially dominant gene for adult-plant leaf rust resistance together with a linked, partially dominant gene for stem rust resistance were transferred to the hexaploid wheat cultivar 'Marquis' from an amphiploid of Aegilops speltoides × Triticum monococcum by direct crossing and backcrossing. Pathological evidence indicated that the alien resistance genes were derived from Ae. speltoides. Differential transmission of the resistance genes through the male gametes occurred in hexaploid hybrids involving the resistant 'Marquis' stock and resulted in distorted segregation ratios. In heterozygotes, pairing between the chromosome arm with the alien segment and the corresponding arm of the normal wheat chromosome was greatly reduced. The apparent close linkage between the two resistance genes, 3 ± 1.07 crossover units, was misleading because of this decrease in pairing in the presence of the 5B diploidizing mechanism. The newly identified gene for adult-plant leaf rust resistance, located on chromosome 2B, is different from adult-plant resistance genes Lr12, Lr13, and Lr22 and from that in the hexaploid accession PI250413; it has been designated Lr35. It is not known whether the newly transferred gene for stem rust resistance differs from Sr32, also derived from Ae. speltoides and located on chromosomes 2B.Key words: hexaploid, Triticum, Aegilops, aneuploid, Puccinia graminis, Puccinia recondita.

Leaf Rust Resistance Genes

Twelve accessions of Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. were genetically analyzed for resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f.sp. tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.) of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Four genes conferring seedling resistance to leaf rust, one gene conferring seedling resistance to stem rust, and one gene conferring adult-plant resistance to stem rust were identified. These genes were genetically distinct from genes previously transferred to common wheat from T. tauschii and conferred resistance to a broad spectrum of pathogen races. Two of the four seedling leaf rust resistance genes were not expressed in synthetic hexaploids, produced by combining tetraploid wheat with the resistant T. tauschii accessions, probably owing to the action of one or more intergenomic suppressor loci on the A or B genome. The other two seedling leaf rust resistance genes were expressed at the hexaploid level as effectively as in the source diploids. One gene was mapped to the short arm of chromosome 2D more than 50 cM from the centromere and the other was mapped to chromosome 5D. Suppression of seedling resistance to leaf rust in synthetic hexaploids derived from three accessions of T. tauschii allowed the detection of three different genes conferring adult-plant resistance to a broad spectrum of leaf rust races. The gene for seedling resistance to stem rust was mapped to chromosome ID. The degree of expression of this gene at the hexaploid level was dependent on the genetic background in which it occurred and on environmental conditions. The expression of the adult-plant gene for resistance to stem rust was slightly diminished in hexaploids. The production of synthetic hexaploids was determined to be the most efficient and flexible method for transferring genes from T. tauschii to T. aestivum, but crossing success was determined by the genotypes of both parents. Although more laborious, the direct introgression method of crossing hexaploid wheat with T. tauschii has the advantages of enabling selection for maximum expression of resistance in the background hexaploid genotype and gene transfer into an agronomically superior cultivar.Key words: Triticum tauschii, rust resistance, gene expression, gene transfer, wheat, synthetic hexaploid.

The Canadian common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar 'Roblin' is resistant to both leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.). To study the genetics of this resistance, 'Roblin' was crossed with 'Thatcher', a leaf rust susceptible cultivar, and RL6071, a stem rust susceptible line. A set of F6 random lines was developed from each cross. The random lines and the parents were grown in a field rust nursery artificially inoculated with a mixture of P. recondita and P. graminis isolates and scored for rust reaction. The same material was tested with specific races of leaf rust and stem rust. These data indicated that 'Roblin' has Lr1, Lr10, Lr13, and Lr34 for resistance to P. recondita and Sr5, Sr9b, Sr11, and possibly Sr7a and Sr12 for resistance to P. graminis. In a 'Thatcher' background, the presence of Lr34 contributes to improve stem rust resistance, which appears also to occur in 'Roblin'.Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat, leaf rust resistance, stem rust resistance.

Leaf Rust Resistance Gene

The common wheat cultivar Thatcher and the backcross derivative Canthatch are moderately or fully susceptible to several races of stem rust because of a suppressor on chromosome 7DL that inhibits the expression of the relevant resistance gene(s). The incorporation of leaf rust resistance gene Lr34 into ‘Thatcher’ is known to enhance stem rust resistance. The effect of this gene in a ‘Canthatch’ background and its relationship with the 7DL suppressor were determined by replacing chromosome 7D of ‘Canthatch’ with 7D of ‘Chinese Spring’, which possesses Lr34 on the short arm. ‘Canthatch’ nullisomic 7D was crossed with ‘Chinese Spring’, followed by a succession of backcrosses to the nullisomic recurrent parent. Homozygous resistant disomic and monosomic substitution lines were recovered that exhibited the same resistant reaction as that of ‘Thatcher’ possessing Lr34 and as that of ‘Canthatch’ nullisomic 7D, in which the 7DL suppressor is absent. The results indicate that, in ‘Canthatch’, Lr34 permits expression of resistance genes normally inhibited by the 7DL suppressor. Furthermore, it is likely that, in ‘Thatcher’ and ‘Thatcher’ back-cross derivatives, Lr34 inactivates the 7DL suppressor.
