Thinopyrum ponticum and Th. intermedium provide superior resistance against various
diseases in wheat (Ttricum aestivum). Because of their readily crossing with wheat, many …

This review paper presents the history of rust resistance breeding and deployment of
resistant cultivars in different geographical areas of India. Much has been accomplished in …

Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina is the most common and widely distributed of the three
wheat rusts. Losses from leaf rust are usually less damaging than those from stem rust and …

Key message A novel leaf rust resistance gene, LrM, introgressed from Aegilops markgrafii
and mapped on chromosome 2AS using SSR-and SNP-based PCR markers will aid in …

A set of common wheat introgression lines carrying one or two introgressions from Triticum
timopheevii was produced by means of marker-assisted backcross selection. The starting …

There is a significant yield reduction in the wheat crop as a result of different biotic and
abiotic stresses, and changing climate, among them moisture deficit stress and leaf rust are …

This study was undertaken to pyramid two effective leaf rust resistance genes (Lr19 and
Lr24) derived from Thinopyrum (syn. Agropyron), in the susceptible, but agronomically …

Wheat is the second most cultivated cereal crop in the world and is an important crop in
India. Leaf (brown) rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, was the most prevalent among the …

Rusts and barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) are among the main diseases affecting wheat
production world wide for which wild relatives have been the source of a number of …

Lr19, one of the few widely effective genes conferring resistance to leaf rust in wheat, was
transferred from the wild relative Thinopyrum ponticum to durum wheat. Since Lr19 confers a …
