The inheritance of resistance to races 15B and 56 of stem rust was studied in the varieties Kenya 58, Kenya 117A, Kenya C9906, Kenya 338.AC.2.E.2, Kenya Governor, Kenya B286, Kenya 291.J.1.I.1, Kenya 321.BT.1.B.1 and Kenya 350.AD.9.C.2. The first five varieties had been studied previously and crosses involving them were not repeated. The genetic analysis of the varieties was based on diallel crosses and backcrosses to a susceptible parent, Marquis.All nine varieties proved to carry Sr7, a gene which conditions resistance to race 15B. Four varieties, Kenya 58, Kenya C9906, Kenya 291 and Kenya 350, carry the gene Sr6, which conditions a hypersensitive reaction to both race 15B and race 56. In addition, four of the varieties carry Sr9 and five carry Sr10, two genes which produce moderate resistance to race 56. Kenya 338.AC.2.E.2 carries two additional dominant, complementary genes, Sr11 and Sr12, which condition resistance to race 56.The genes, Sr9, Sr10, Sr11 and Sr12 are important modifiers of the resistance to race 15B conditioned by Sr7, with Sr9 probably having the greatest effect.

The inheritance of pathogenicity in wheat stem rust was studied in selfed cultures of races 29 and 111, F1 and F2 cultures of a cross between the two races and cultures from a backcross to race 29. The various cultures were tested on Marquis and Prelude and on a series of lines of these varieties carrying single genes for stem rust resistance. Virulence on Sr 5, Sr 6, Sr 8, Sr 9a, Sr 14 and a gene in Marquis was recessive and in each case there was a single gene for virulence corresponding to each gene for resistance. Virulence on Sr 1 was possibly controlled by two dominant complementary genes. There appeared to be two alleles for virulence on Prelude, one dominant and one recessive.

Following emergence of Ug99, the new virulent race of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in Africa, a global effort for identification and utilization of new sources of Ug99-resistant germplasm has been undertaken. In this study, we conducted replicated experiments to evaluate the resistance of Iranian wheat germplasm to the TTKSK lineage of the Ug99 race of P. graminis f. sp. tritici. We also evaluated for presence of stem rust resistance genes (i.e., Sr2, Sr24, Sr26, Sr38, Sr39, Sr31, and Sr1RSAmigo) in wheat cultivars and breeding lines widely cultivated in Iran. Our phenotyping data revealed high levels of susceptibility to Ug99 in Iranian bread wheat germplasm. Our genotyping data revealed that Iranian cultivars do not carry Sr24, Sr26, or Sr1RSAmigo. Only a few salt-tolerant cultivars and breeding lines tested positively for Sr2, Sr31, Sr38, or Sr39 markers. In conclusion, the genetic basis for resistance to Ug99 in Iranian wheat cultivars was found to be vulnerable. Acquiring knowledge about existing resistance genes and haplotypes in wheat cultivars and breeding lines will help breeders, cereal pathologists, and policy makers to select and pyramid effective stem rust resistance genes.
