The Canadian wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar Pasqua has good resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm.) and some sprouting resistance. Backcross F2 families were used to study the inheritance of leaf rust resistance in Pasqua. Based on the leaf rust resistance genotypes of its parents, Pasqua could have genes Lr11, Lr13, Lr14b, Lr16, Lr22, and Lr30. Of these, it was found to have Lr11, Lr13, Lr14b, and Lr30. As well, it has Lr34, which must have come from the cultivar Terenzio during the development of a Neepawa backcross line with Lr30. Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat, leaf rust resistance

The LrT gene for resistance to leaf rust present in the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) backcross line RL 6049, and originally derived from the cultivar Terenzio, was shown to be on chromosome 4B. Farther analysis indicated that it is on the long arm of this chromosome, 2.9 ± 1.3 crossover units from the centromere. It is independent of or loosely linked with Sr7a, a gene for stem rust resistance known to be on the long arm of chromosome 4B. It is inherited independently of leaf rust resistance genes Lr1, Lr2a, Lr3, Lr10, Lr14b, Lr16, Lr17 and Lr18. LrT has been redesignated Lr30.

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.

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.
