Identification of Wheat Resistance Genes in Wheat Germplasm Using Molecular Markers.

() is the main threat to global food security; it is a fungal disease that presents one of the most serious threats to wheat crops, causing severe yield losses worldwide, including in Kazakhstan. The pathogen leads to crop losses reaching from 15 to 50%. The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate a wheat collection for resistance during the adult plant and seedling growth stages, (2) identify the sources of resistance genes that provide resistance to using molecular markers linked to genes, and (3) identify potentially useful resistant wheat genotypes among cultivars and advanced breeding lines.
