Abstract
The genetics of adult-plant resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) was studied in a common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) introduction PI 250413, originally collected in Pakistan. The resistance, although variable in expression, was conditioned bx a single recessive gene not previously identified, which was inherited independently of Lr12, Lr13 and Lr22, three previously identified genes for adult-plant leaf rust resistance. The gene present in PI 250413 was also found in five introductions from Iraq.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
