Detection and location of Lr11 and other leaf rust resistance genes in the durably resistant wheat cultivar Buck Poncho
Three race-specific genes were identified in a cross between the durably leaf rust resistant wheat cultivar Buck Poncho (BP) and leaf rust susceptible cultivar Purple Straw (P). Two seedling resistance genes, ...

A multiple resistance locus on chromosome arm 3BS in wheat confers resistance to stem rust (Sr2), leaf rust (Lr27) and powdery mildew
Sr2 is the only known durable, race non-specific adult plant stem rust resistance gene in wheat. The Sr2 gene was shown to be tightly linked to the leaf rust resistance gene Lr27 and to p...

Fine genetic map** fails to dissociate durable stem rust resistance gene Sr2 from pseudo-black chaff in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
The broad-spectrum stem rust resistance gene Sr2 has provided protection in wheat against Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici for over 80 years. The Sr2 gene and an associated dark pigmentation trait, pseudo-b...

High-resolution map** and mutation analysis separate the rust resistance genes Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9 on the short arm of rye chromosome 1
The stem, leaf and stripe rust resistance genes Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9, located on the short arm of rye chromosome 1, have been widely used in wheat by means of wheat-rye translocation chromosomes. Previous studies h...

Powdery mildew resistance and Lr34/Yr18 genes for durable resistance to leaf and stripe rust cosegregate at a locus on the short arm of chromosome 7D of wheat
The incorporation of effective and durable disease resistance is an important breeding objective for wheat improvement. The leaf rust resistance gene Lr34 and stripe rust resistance gene Yr18 are effective at the...

Cytogenetical studies in wheat XIX. Location and linkage studies on gene Yr27 for resistance to stripe (yellow) rust
The stripe (yellow) rust resistance gene Yr27 was located in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosome 2B and shown to be closely linked to the leaf (brown) rust resistance genes Lr13 and Lr23 in the proximal regio...

Yr32 for resistance to stripe (yellow) rust present in the wheat cultivar Carstens V
Stripe or yellow rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is an important disease in many wheat-growing regions of the world. A number of major genes providing resistance to stripe rust have ...

Transfer of rye chromosome segments to wheat by a gametocidal system
A gametocidal chromosome derived from Aegilops triuncialis (3C) induces chromosome mutations in gametes lacking the 3C chromosome in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We combined 3C with chromosome 1R of rye (

The effects of temperature and light on interactions between Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae and Avena spp.
Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of temperature and light on the interaction between different genotypes of Avena and Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca). In the first experiment, 45 oat li...
