Genetic Background-Dependent Expression of Lr34, Lr67 and the Lr46-Associated Candidate Gene Lr46-Glu2 in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Highlights Contrasting Transcriptional Responses Following Puccinia triticina Infection.

Abstract excerpt

Adult plant resistance (APR) is widely used in wheat breeding, but its behaviour across genetic backgrounds remains poorly understood. In this study, we analysed the expression of three APR loci (Lr34, Lr46, Lr67) following their introgression into elite winter wheat cultivars. BC2F1 populations derived from crosses between donor lines and commercial cultivars were evaluated under controlled infection with...
