Genetic analyses of resistance of the wheat differential cultivars carstens V and spaldings prolific to two races of puccinia striiformis

摘要

Genetic analysis of resistance of wheat seedlings to two races of Puccinia striiformis was conducted on F_1, F_2 and F_3 generations from crosses Carstens V (CV) X Lee, Spaldings Prolific (SPA) X Lee and CV X SPA. F_2 generations from crosses of CV and SPA with Strubes Dickkopf (SD) were also studied. The plants were classified into six resistance classes and analysed by factorial correspondence analysis and nohierarchiral classification. The two P. striiformis isolates tested were a French isolate of race 43E138 and a Lebanese isolate of rare 2E16, selected for the differences in their virulence spectra for the common differential cultivars Strubes Dickkopf and Nord Desprez. Resistance of CV and SPA was recessive and dominant to races 43E138 and 2E16, respectively. CV possessed three or four resistance genes, one of them being expressed with both races. Two genes of CV had a cumulative effect for resistance to 43E138 and two of three gave dominant resistance to 2E16. SPA had three resistance genes, all of which gave resistance to 2E16 and two of which also gave resistance to 43E138. SPA had one gene in common with CV for resistance to both races. Furthermore, the gene for resistance to race 2E16 in CV and SPA was allelic with a gene in SD, and was probably Yr 25.
