Abstract
The growing and cultivating resistant wheat crop varieties is important to meet the demands of the growing population and minimizing the yield losses due to foliar diseases. More important is the identification of novel resistance sources and transfer of resistance in ready to use form. In the current study, leaf rust (LR) and stripe rust (YR) resistant tetraploid nonprogenitors of wheatAegilops triuncialis (UtUtCtCt) acc pau 3462 was crossed and backcrossed susceptible cultivar WL711(NN) by inducing homeologous pairing using CSph1. Recurrent parent type plants were selected in subsequent generation with resistance to LR and YR and BC2F7 introgression line (2n=42) namedILtri have been developed. To understand the nature and inheritance of LR and YR resistance genes and to map their genomic location, F2 and F2:3 mapping populations were developed by crossingILtri with WL711(NN). In F2 and F2:3, the seedlings and adult plants segregated into 3R:1S and 1HR:2Seg:1HS ratios, respectively for both LR and YR, indicating inheritance of single dominant all stage resistance gene working against both the rusts. These genes were temporary designated asLrtri andYrtri and were inherited independently. Molecular mapping of 614 SSR markers mapped theLrtri at a distance of 11.2 cM from SSR markerXwmc606.
