Article Synopsis
  • - The gene Sr65, found on chromosome 1A of the Indian wheat landrace Hango-2, provides crucial resistance against the stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), protecting wheat crops in multiple regions including Australia, India, Africa, and Europe.
  • - Research on a recombinant line population of Hango-2 discovered two resistance genes: a new gene termed SrH2 and an existing one called Sr26; SrH2 was mapped to a specific region on chromosome 1A and is valuable for developing resistant wheat varieties.
  • - The markers associated with SrH2, KASP_12147 and sunCS_265, show high polymorphism in

Objectives: Removal of a cochlear implant and its intracochlear electrode array is sometimes necessary, potentially causing cochlear explant trauma. Explantation typically occurs years post-implantation by which time reactive tissue has formed around the electrode. We aimed to create an in-vitro electrode explant model to examine explant forces and intracochlear trauma across multiple electrode types and insertion depths.

A new leaf rust resistance gene Lr80 was identified and closely linked markers were developed for its successful pyramiding with other marker-tagged genes to achieve durable control of leaf rust. Common wheat landrace Hango-2, collected in 2006 from the Himalayan area of Hango, District Kinnaur, in Himachal Pradesh, exhibited a very low infection type (IT;) at the seedling stage to all Indian Puccinia triticina (Pt) pathotypes, except the pathotype 5R9-7 which produced IT 3. Genetic analysis based on Agra Local/Hango-2-derived F families indicated monogenic control of leaf rust resistance, and the underlying locus was temporarily named LrH2.

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is a constraint to durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) production, and landraces are reported to be an important source of resistance. Two Portuguese landraces (Aus26582 and Aus26579) showed resistance against durum-specific P.

BayesR and MLM association mapping approaches in common wheat landraces were used to identify genomic regions conferring resistance to Yr, Lr, and Sr diseases. Deployment of rust resistant cultivars is the most economically effective and environmentally friendly strategy to control rust diseases in wheat. However, the highly evolving nature of wheat rust pathogens demands continued identification, characterization, and transfer of new resistance alleles into new varieties to achieve durable rust control.

Wild relatives, landraces and cultivars from different geographical regions have been demonstrated as the sources of genetic variation for resistance to rust diseases. This study involved assessment of diversity for resistance to three rust diseases among a set of Nordic spring wheat cultivars. These cultivars were tested at the seedling stage against several pathotypes of three rust pathogens in the greenhouse.
