- The rust resistance genes Lr53 and Yr35 were introduced into bread wheat from Aegilops longissima or Aegilops sharonensis, located in the telomeric region of chromosome 6BS, which is crucial for combatting wheat diseases.
- This study utilized SNP analysis and cytogenetic assays to confirm the origin of these genes and their effectiveness against various wheat rust races, highlighting Lr53's strong resistance and Yr35's mixed effectiveness.
- A new introgression line with a reduced alien segment was developed, ensuring high resistance levels while minimizing potential drawbacks, thereby enhancing their application in wheat breeding programs.
