In Ethiopia, breeding rust resistant wheat cultivars is a priority for wheat production. A stem rust epidemic during 2013 to 2014 on previously resistant cultivar Digalu highlighted the need to determine the effectiveness of wheat lines to multiple races of f. sp.

Article Synopsis
  • Leaf rust and stem rust are significant threats to durum wheat production, prompting a study aimed at identifying resistance genes in the Portuguese durum landrace PI 192051.
  • Researchers evaluated 180 recombinant inbred lines at both seedling and adult-plant stages using various rust isolates and races, alongside modern genotyping techniques.
  • The study resulted in the identification of a major resistance gene on chromosome 7AS and several minor QTL, which can facilitate future marker-assisted selection to enhance rust resistance in wheat.
