Triticum aestivum L. cv. Etoile de Choisy possesses two genes governing reaction to Australian and Canadian strains of Puccinia graminis tritici: Sr23, a gene causing chlorosis and necrosis of infected tissue which is completely linked with Lr16 for reaction to P. recondita, and a second gene, designated SrEC, resembling a gene previously reported by Bartos et al., that produces infection type "2" to "3" with avirulent cultures.

The genetics of seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) was investigated in what (Triticum aestivum L.) introductions PI 268454, PI 58548 and PI 268316, originally collected in Afghanistan, China and Iran, respectively. PI 268454 was heterogeneous for resistance. A selection (PI 268454a) has a gene that confers a 1+ reaction while a second selection (PI 268454b) probably has resistance gene Lr2b. PI 58548 has two genes for resistance, one giving a 1+ reaction and the second a 2+. These two genes interact to produce a; 1 reaction. PI 268316 has three interacting genes, one giving a 1+ reaction, the second a 2+ and a third resistance gene similar to LrB. The gene giving the 1+ reaction was common to all three introductions. PI 58548 and PI 268316 carry different genes for infection type 2+. Backcross lines of the single genes were produced. Implications to breeding for disease resistance of genes interacting to produce different phenotype are discussed.

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.

A type of dwarfism found in crosses involving the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar Webster and a stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici Erik. &Henn.) susceptible line, LMPG, proved to be due to a dominant gene from cv. Webster and a recessive gene from LMPG. The dominant gene is closely linked to the gene Sr30, which conditions stem rust resistance in cv. Webster and is on chromosome 5D. The dwarf plants have short, dark green, stiff leaves and rarely develop more than two leaves before dying.Key words: dwarfism, Triticum aestivum, Puccinia graminis tritici, stem rust.

The inheritance of resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.) was investigated in Triticum aestivum L. cv. Red Bobs. It carries a gene for stem rust resistance at the Sr7 locus that resembles Sr7b of Marquis, and a gene that is either Sr10 or, more likely, an allele, because Red Bobs is less resistant than the Marquis-Sr10 line to races C1 (17) and C17 (56).

'French Peace,' an old wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar, apparently brought to Saskatchewan by settlers, probably carries genes Sr7a, Sr9a, and Sr13 for resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici Eriks. and Henn.). Since two of the three genes have been found in tetraploid wheats, 'French Peace' could be derived from a hexaploid × tetraploid cross.

The two approaches used to assess the effects of infection with stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici) and leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) on the estimation of genotype-environment interaction for yield in wheat, Triticum aestivum L. em Thell., showed that rust infection is an important consideration. The results suggest that much of the genotype-environment interaction in quantitative traits may be due to rather simply inherited traits.

Four stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici Eriks. &Henn.) resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) – Agropyron recombinants were analyzed to determine the wheat chromosomes involved. The Agropyron chromosome, 7el2, was known to be homoeologous to the group 7 chromosomes of wheat. Monosomic analysis showed that all four recombinants involved wheat chromosome 7D.Key words: rust resistance, Puccinia, Agropyron, wheat, Triticum, homoeologous recombination.

Seedlings of resistant (Sr6) and susceptible (sr6) near-isogenic lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were inoculated with a race of stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.) that was avirulent on the line with Sr6 and they were kept at 19, 25, 26, and 27 °C. Fluorescence microscopy was used to detect autofluorescing necrotic host cells and rust colonies after these were stained with a fiuorochrome (Calcofluor White M2R New).In leaves containing the Sr6 gene, a smaller percentage of colonies grown at 25 °C had necrotic cells associated with them than those that were grown at 19 °C. The incidence of colony-associated necrosis in these leaves could be further reduced by increasing the temperature to 26 °C and 27 °C. Similarly, the number of necrotic host cells per colony decreased with an increase in temperature. Colonies in genotypically resistant leaves were usually smaller than those in genotypically susceptible leaves, but the differences in colony sizes between these two lines decreased at the higher temperatures.When infected plants containing the Sr6 gene were kept for varying times at 25 °C and then were transferred to 19 °C, there was significantly less fungal growth and more necrosis than in plants kept continuously at 25 °C. This necrosis occurred largely in those cells that were invaded after the transfer to 19 °C, when the Sr6 gene was activated.
