Abstract excerpt
Wheat production is continually threatened by stripe and leaf rust because virulent races rapidly overcome single race-specific genes. Durable, broad-spectrum resistance is needed. Adult plant resistance (APR) provides partial, stable resistance from multiple minor-effect loci acting additively; pleiotropic loci such as Lr34/Yr18 and Lr46/Yr29 add durability. We used an elite Australian panel (OzWheat=589) and a...
