African wheat germplasm – a valuable resource for resistance to rust diseases
Plant Pathology 68 (7), 1308-1319
Abstract: Known and unknown genes conferring seedling and adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust, stem rust and stripe rust were detected either singly or in combination in a set of 136 African wheat genotypes using multi-pathotype tests with characterized Australian Puccinia triticina (Pt), P. graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) and P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) pathotypes. Lines Beladi 132, IYN 68/9.44, Kenya Kifaru and Kenya Mbweha were postulated to carry resistance against multiple pathotypes of Pt, Pgt and Pst, whereas IAR/W/163-3, Grano Di Moggio Tipo 44 and Trigo 48 had resistance against all pathotypes tested in the current study. Field evaluation with the three rust pathogens detected low to high APR in more than 50% of lines, and while most tested positive with markers linked to known APR genes (csLV34, csLV46G22, TM10KASPAR, csGS, Cfb5006 and csSr2), many carried unidentified and useful resistance to all three rusts. Genetic analysis of F3 mapping populations based on seven genotypes showed either monogenic or digenic inheritance of APR to leaf rust, stem rust and stripe rust. The lines postulated to carry effective uncharacterized seedling genes and APR genes are of great potential value in diversifying resistance to help achieve durable control of all three rust diseases of wheat.
