M. Torabi et K. Nazari, SEEDLING AND ADULT-PLANT RESISTANCE TO YELLOW RUST IN IRANIAN BREAD WHEATS (REPRINTED FROM WHEAT - PROSPECTS FOR GLOBAL IMPROVEMENT, 1998), Euphytica, 100(1-3), 1998, pp. 51-54
In order to evaluate wheat response to yellow rust, 25 advanced, promi
sing and commercial bread wheat cultivars were tested as seedlings in
greenhouse conditions in Karaj, Iran, and as adult plants in field con
ditions at four locations. Five pathotypes of yellow rust, 14E176A(+),
134E142A+, 6E210A+, 4E128A- and 64E146A+ prevailing in field test loc
ations, were used in the seedling tests. The results showed that some
of the cultivars have seedling or overall resistance to the pathotypes
and some have adult plant resistance. Cultivars M-70-4 and MV17 were
resistant to all pathotypes as seedlings and showed good adult plant r
esistance.
