DIVERSITY FOR RESISTANCE AGAINST STRIPE AND LEAF RUST IN SOME CULTIVARS OF WHEAT
Main Article Content
Abstract
The diversity for resistance against stripe and leaf rusts was studied in four resistant exotic wheats, CPAN 1922. CPAN 1973, CPAN 1992 and CPAN 2037. The varieties were crossed among themselves and with WL 711, a highly susceptible variety to both rusts. Incidence of rust was recorded on parents, Ft, Fz and backcross generations. All the resistant CPAN entries exhibited the presence of identical genes for resistance to stripe and leaf rust. The resistance against leaf rust was caused by a single dominant gene, while the stripe rust resistance was found to be controlled by two dominant genes.
