Inheritance of effective juvenile leaf rust resistance in six accessions of Aegilops speltoides Tausch
Background. Leaf rust (causal agent: Puccinia triticina Erikss.) is a serious disease of bread wheat in all crop-growing regions. An environmentally safe and economically profitable method to protect plants is cultivation of resistant varieties. Their development requires searching for the forms car...

The analysis of segregation for seedling resistance to leaf rust in F2 и F3 from the crosses between the 6 studied accessions and the susceptible Ae. speltoides accession k-1596 showed that each of them possessed one dominant resistance gene. The absence of susceptible plants in hybrid populations from the crosses between resistant accessions testified to a tight linkage or, more likely, the identity of their genes associated with resistance.

Before the introgression of the newly identified gene, it is necessary to study its identity to Lr47 using the phytopathological test; the use of molecular markers for this purpose is little informative.https://elpub.vir.nw.ru/jour/article/view/321aegilops speltoidesjuvenile resistanceinheritanceleaf rust |
