Article Synopsis
- Wheat leaf rust, caused by the fungus Eriks, can lead to substantial yield losses of up to 40% in susceptible wheat varieties, necessitating research into resistant strains.
- A study screened 123 dicoccum wheat germplasm accessions against the leaf rust pathotype 77-5, revealing that approximately 45.50% showed resistance while 46.74% were susceptible, with selected lines demonstrating strong resistance to 18 prevalent pathotypes.
- Further genetic analysis indicated that the leaf rust resistance gene linked to effective control of the disease was absent in the resistant accessions, but unique genetic differences among the resistant lines were identified through SNP genotyping, suggesting they may harbor various resistance genes.
