INHERITANCE OF FIELD REACTION TO BLACK RUST RACES IN INTERVARIETAL CROSSES OF TRITICUM DICOCCUM

Published on Sep 15, 2020 11:59 AM

THE khapli wheat (T. dicoccum Schubl.) grown in South India is susceptible to both
black and brown rusts. Often, black rust (Puccinia graminis tritici Erikss. and Henn.)
causes very serious damage to the crop, especially, if it occurs at an early stage and the
climatic conditions are favourable. Breeding for complete field resistance to all the
prevalent races of this rust is essential for stabilising the yield of the wheat crop in this
area. As an essential step in such work, the inheritance of field resistance to this rust
was studied in inter-varietal crosses and the results are reported in this paper.
