The chromosome location of new genes for leaf rust resistance in three
cultivars of wheat was established. The gene of seedling resistance L
rH in cultivar Harichikari (k45748) was located on chromosome 3A and a
dult-plant resistance gene - on chromosome 5A. The gene of seedling re
sistance LrM1 in k51070 was located on chromosome 5A. The gene LrM6 in
k58840 was located on chromosome 3D and was independent of Lr24.
