Evaluation and Characterization of Seedling Resistances to Stem Rust Ug99 Races in Wheat–Alien Species Derivatives
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.), a devastating disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), was effectively controlled worldwide for the past 50 yr by deployment of stem rust resistance (Sr) genes in wheat cultivars. However, a new stem rust race, TTKSK (known as Ug99 or TTKS) that emerged in eastern Africa, is a cause of concern because it has broad virulence to cu...
