The inheritance of seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm.) was studied in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars: Terenzio, Lageadinho, PI 321999, PI 197249, CRIC 26809-68, CIRC 32125-70, 72 Hills 175 and Frontana. They have in common two complementary genes (LrT2 and LrT3) that give a variable type of leaf rust resistance. Gene LrT2 is the most effective gene. In the Thatcher background, resistance to stem rust in the adult plant stage appears to be associated with this gene. The previously reported gene from PI 58548 that gives a 2+ infection type appears to be the same as LrT2. Terenzio also carries Lr3 and Lr30 while PI 197249 has Lr3.

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 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.

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is an important disease of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) worldwide, and the most effective way to control it is through the use of resistant cultivars. A partially dominant leaf rust resistance gene present in the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center-derived Chilean cv. Guayacan INIA and its sister line Guayacan 2 was mapped to chromosome arm 6BS by identifying linked amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and mapping two of the molecular markers in common wheat (T. aestivum) linkage maps of the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative and Oligoculm × Fukuho-komugi populations. Comparison of infection type responses of the two resistant durums with common wheat testers carrying the previously mapped resistance genes Lr36 and Lr53 on 6BS, and their chromosomal positions, indicated that the resistance gene in durum wheat Guayacan INIA is a new leaf rust resistance gene, which was designated as Lr61. Gene Lr61 is effective against the P. triticina race BBG/BN predominant in northwestern Mexico and other races infecting durum wheat in various countries.

Genes Lr10 and Lr16 for seedling resistance and gene Lr12 for adult-plant resistance to leaf rust in common wheat were located on specific chromosomes by monosomic analysis using the Rescue monosomic series. Gene Lr10 is on chromosome 1A and genes Lr12 and Lr16 are on chromosome 4A. The latter two genes must be more than 50 crossover units apart since they segregated independently. These three genes were backcrossed into Thatcher from the variety Exchange. The variety Chinese Spring probably carries gene Lr12.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar 'Frontana' and three globally leaf rust resistant CIMMYT spring bread wheats, 'Parula', 'Trap', and 'Mango', which displayed seedling susceptibility to Mexican pathotypes TCB/TD and (or) TBD/TM of Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici and which displayed high levels of adult-plant resistance, were genetically analyzed. The four wheats were intercrossed and crossed with seedling and adult-plant susceptible cultivars 'Inia 66' or 'Yecora 70', and also with 'RL6058', a tester for leaf rust resistance gene Lr34. Adult-plant resistance to leaf rust appeared to be based on four additive genes in 'Frontana' and three additive genes in each of the other resistant wheats. Gene Lr34 was confirmed to be present in all four wheats and appeared to be important in conferring adult-plant resistance in conjunction with other partially effective adult-plant resistance genes. Some of these latter genes appeared to be common in the four wheats, since limited segregation occurred when intercrossed. Genes Lr3, Lr10, Lr13, and Lr26 appeared to be independent of the adult-plant resistance. The resistance is expected to be durable, since the source of Lr34 and the additional genes was traced to 'Frontana', which has retained its field resistance since its release in 1943.Key words: adult-plant resistance, genetics, Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici, Triticum aestivum.

The genetics of adult-plant resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) was studied in a common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) introduction PI 250413, originally collected in Pakistan. The resistance, although variable in expression, was conditioned bx a single recessive gene not previously identified, which was inherited independently of Lr12, Lr13 and Lr22, three previously identified genes for adult-plant leaf rust resistance. The gene present in PI 250413 was also found in five introductions from Iraq.

The common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) experimental line Prelude/8* Marquis was determined to have a gene that inhibits the expression of gene Lr23 for seedling resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) whereas the cultivar Prelude does not. This inhibitor had previously been reported in the cultivar Thatcher.

Abstract We report the map-based cloning of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr21, previously mapped to a generich region at the distal end of chromosome arm 1DS of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Molecular cloning of Lr21 was facilitated by diploid/polyploid shuttle mapping strategy. Cloning of Lr21 was confirmed by genetic transformation and by a stably inherited resistance phenotype in transgenic plants. Lr21 spans 4318 bp and encodes a 1080-amino-acid protein containing a conserved nucleotide-binding site (NBS) domain, 13 imperfect leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), and a unique 151-amino-acid sequence missing from known NBS-LRR proteins at the N terminus. Fine-structure genetic analysis at the Lr21 locus detected a noncrossover (recombination without exchange of flanking markers) within a 1415-bp region resulting from either a gene conversion tract of at least 191 bp or a double crossover. The successful map-based cloning approach as demonstrated here now opens the door for cloning of many crop-specific agronomic traits located in the gene-rich regions of bread wheat.

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is one of the main fungal diseases limiting durum wheat production. This study aimed to characterize previously undescribed genes for leaf rust resistance in durum wheat. Six different resistant durum genotypes were crossed to two susceptible International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) lines and the resulting F1, F2, and F3 progenies were evaluated for leaf rust reactions in the field and under greenhouse conditions. In addition, allelism tests were conducted. The results of the study indicated that most genotypes carried single effective dominant or recessive seedling resistance genes; the only exception to this was genotype Gaza, which carried one adult plant and one seedling resistance gene. In addition, it was concluded that the resistance genes identified in the current study were neither allelic to LrCamayo or Lr61, nor were they related to Lr3 or Lr14a, the genes that already are either ineffective or are considered to be vulnerable for breeding purposes. A complicated allelic or linkage relationship between the identified genes is discussed. The results of the study will be useful for breeding for durable resistance by creating polygenic complexes.
