Race Characterization and Molecular Genotyping of Populations from Durum Wheat in Russia.

Variability of the Russian population of from durum wheat was studied with virulence and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The pathogen was sampled during 2017 to 2019 in all regions with sizable durum wheat () growing areas from winter (North Caucasus) and spring (Middle Volga, Ural, and West Siberia) wheat. A total of 474 isolates were tested on a set of 20 -gene lines.
