The inheritance of seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita) was studied in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Rafaela and EAP 26127. Rafaela has genes Lr14b and Lr17 while EAP 26127 has Lr17. Lr17 was located on chromosome 2A, possibly the short arm, and was independent of Lr11.

The genetics of resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) was studied in the two common wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars Kenyon and Buck Manantial. Kenyon was shown to have genes Lr13 and Lr16, the same gene combination that is present in the cultivar Columbus. Buck Manantial, the leaf-rust resistant donor parent of Kenyon, has seedling genes Lr13 (or an allele), Lr16 and Lr17, and two for adult-plant resistance, Lr13 and an unidentified gene.Key words: Leaf rust resistance, Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici, wheat (hard red spring)

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.

Gene Lr29 transferred from Agropyron elongatum to chromosome 7D of wheat and gene LrVPM transferred from VPM1 both segregated as single genes for seedling resistance to leaf rust when backcrossed into common wheat (Triticum aestivum). Although the seedling resistance of the VPM lines was intermediate, their adult plant resistance was excellent. This resistance was not on chromosome 7D. The VPM lines also had seedling and adult plant resistance to stem rust. Resistant backcross lines with either Lr29 or LrVPM had higher kernel protein levels than did susceptible sister lines under both rust and rust-free conditions. Although this higher protein content was associated with weaker dough mixing properties, the remix loaf volume remained constant. Leaf rust infection had a detrimental effect on grain yield and kernel weight and on wheat quality as shown by decreased kernel protein content and farinograph absorption. Dough mixing strength was higher for the rust infected lines than the rust resistant lines.Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat (spring), leaf rust resistance, protein content, breadmaking quality

The genetics of resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici) was investigated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Romany, Es.P 518/9, Bonny and Tama that are resistant to many races in both Canada and Kenya. Seedling resistance in the four cultivars to 12 Canadian races is controlled primarily by previously identified genes. The results indicate that the cultivars have the following genes: Romany — Sr5, Sr6, Sr7a, Sr9b and SrW; Es.P 518/9 — Sr5, Sr6, Sr7a, Sr8, Sr9b, SrW and possibly Sr17; Bonny — Sr6 and Sr11; and Tama — Sr6 and Sr8. Gene SrW confers moderate resistance and is also present in the cultivar Webster.
