| Abstract | ||
| The stripe (Yellow) rust in wheat is one of the most important plant diseases in Iran. Since 1993 several epidemics have occurred in Iran causing the breakdown of widely util-ized sources of resistance in wheat cultivars. Twenty-seven pathotypes were identified during 2003 and 2004 in greenhouse tests. Pathotypes 6E6A+, 6E22A+, 6E130A+, 6E134A+, 6E142A+, 6E158A+, 134E130A+ and 134E142A+ were more common during the course of this study. Virulence on plant/s with gene/s Yr2, Yr6, Yr7, Yr8, Yr9, Yr24, Yr25, YrSD, YrSP, Yr3N, Yr2+, Yr6+, Yr9+, Yr7+, Yr32+ and YrA was detected under greenhouse conditions. The majority of isolates with a high frequency (more than 88%) showed virulence on plant/s with Yr2, Yr6, Yr7, Yr9, YrA and Yr24 genes. No virulence was detected on plant/s with Yr1, Yr3V, Yr4, Yr5, Yr10 and YrSU genes. In a greenhouse test, frequency of virulence to wheat genotypes with the Yr32+, YrSP and YrSD gene was less than 7%; frequency of virulence to all other wheat genotypes was between 19 and 100%. During three years of field study, virulence on wheat genotypes Heines Kolben (with genes Yr2 and Yr6), Kalyansona (Yr2), Lee (Yr7), Avocet R (YrA), Federation*4/Kavkaz (Yr9) and TP1295 (Yr25) was common. No virulence was observed on plants with Yr1, Yr3V, Yr3N, Yr4, Yr5, Yr8, Yr10, Yr18, Yr24, Yr32+, YrSP, YrSD and YrSU genes in the trap nurseries. The coefficient of infection (C. I.) of the adult plant resistance gene, Yr18, was between 16-64 with moderate susceptibility and is going to be used in the breeding program in combination with other resistant sources. | ||
