Two hundred and two collections of non-cultivated oats from Israel, belonging to Avena sterilis L. and A. barbata Brot., were tested in the greenhouse at Winnipeg, Manitoba, for seedling and adult plant reaction to several important crown rust and stem rust races. Seeds of the collections found resistant in the greenhouse to one of the test races were planted in the field and were exposed to artificial rust epidemics. Out of 123 collections of A. sterilis, 40 were resistant to crown rust in the greenhouse and 9 remained resistant in the field; one collection was resistant to stem rust in the greenhouse but none was resistant in the field. Out of 79 collections of A. barbata, 23 were resistant to crown rust in the greenhouse and 8 maintained resistance in the field; 17 collections were resistant to stem rust in the greenhouse and 8 were resistant in the field.Crown rust and stem rust resistance factors seem to be independent of each other; the plants of only a few collections possessed resistance to both rusts. Collection D203 was particularly outstanding, showing resistance to all the test races of crown rust and stem rust in seedling and adult stages in the greenhouse as well as in the field.

Seedling resistances to stem rust, leaf rust and stripe rust were evaluated in the 37th International Triticale Screening Nursery, distributed by the International Wheat and Maize Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) in 2005. In stem rust tests, 12 and 69 of a total of 81 entries were postulated to carry Sr27 and SrSatu, respectively. When compared with previous studies of CIMMYT triticale nurseries distributed from 1980 to 1986 and 1991 to 1993, the results suggest a lack of expansion in the diversity of stem rust resistance. A total of 62 of 64 entries were resistant to five leaf rust pathotypes. In stripe rust tests, ~93% of the lines were postulated to carry Yr9 alone or in combination with other genes. The absence of Lr26 in these entries indicated that Yr9 and Lr26 are not genetically associated in triticale. A high proportion of nursery entries (63%) were postulated to carry an uncharacterised gene, YrJackie. The 13 lines resistant to stripe rust and the 62 entries resistant to leaf rust represent potentially useful sources of seedling resistance in developing new triticale cultivars. Field rust tests are needed to verify if seedling susceptible entries also carry adult plant resistance.

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.

Oat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. avenae (Pga), is one of the most devastating diseases of oat. The most cost-effective and eco-friendly strategy to control this disease is the use of resistant cultivars. However, P. graminis f. sp. avenae can overcome the resistance of cultivars by rapidly changing its virulence. Thus, information on the virulence of P. graminis f. sp. avenae populations and resistance of cultivars is critical to control the disease. The current study was conducted to monitor the virulence composition and dynamics in the P. graminis f. sp. avenae population in China and to evaluate resistance of oat cultivars. Oat leaves naturally infected by P. graminis f. sp. avenae were collected during 2018 and 2019 and 159 isolates were derived from single uredinia. The isolates were tested on 12 international differential lines, and eight races, TJJ, TBD, TJB, TJD, TJL, TJN, TGD, and TKN, were identified for the first time in China. The predominant race was TJD, virulent against Pg1, Pg2, Pg3, Pg4, Pg8, Pg9, and Pg15, accounting for 35.8% and 37.8% in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The sub-predominant races were TJN (30.2% in 2018, 28.3% in 2019) and TKN (20.8% in 2018, 12.3% in 2019). All isolates were virulent to Pg1, Pg2, Pg3, and Pg4, and avirulent to Pg6 and Pg16. The three predominant races (TJD, TJN, and TKN) were used to evaluate resistance in 30 Chinese oat cultivars at the seedling and adult-plant stages. Five cultivars, Bayan 1, Baiyan 2, Baiyan 3, Baiyan 5, and Baiyan 9, were highly resistant to the three races at both seedling and adult-plant stages. The results of the virulences and frequencies of P. graminis f. sp. avenae races and the resistant cultivars will be useful in understanding the pathogen migration and evolution and for breeding oat cultivars with stem rust resistance.

Accessions of wild Avena spp. obtained from the Iberian Peninsula were screened for resistance to oat crown and oat stem rust. Of a number of accessions which showed resistance, A. sterilis accession IB3056 was selected for further genetic analysis because it had combined resistance to both crown and stem rusts and as a hexaploid was readily hybridizable with A. sativa. IB3056 was crossed and backcrossed with the susceptible cultivar 'Makuru' and progeny were analyzed for segregation to a range of rust races. A single dominant gene conferred resistance to crown rust. The resistance was highly effective against all isolates of Puccinia coronata avenae tested. The crown rust resistance of IB3056 was due either to gene Pc68 or was very closely linked or allelic to Pc68. Seedling plants of the IB3056 parent were susceptible to all isolates of P. graminis avenae tested, but in the adult plant stage they were resistant. All IB3056/2* Makuru progeny also were susceptible to stem rust as seedlings, but BC1F2 adult plants segregated for resistance in ratios indicating a single dominant gene, designated Pg17.Key words: oat crown rust, oat stem rust, adult plant resistance, seedling resistance
