Abstract:

Two highly effective genes for leaf rust resistance viz., Lr24, Lr28 were selected for pyramiding in the background of a susceptible but high yielding bread wheat variety DWR 162. The screening against most virulent pathotype of leaf rust 77-5 (121R63-1) indicated that both the genes confer a high degree of seedling resistance. The use of molecular markers, namely, SCS719, SCS1302607, SCS421570 and Xwmc313 validated the presence of resistance genes, Lr24 and Lr28 in DWR 162. The application of molecular markers facilitated identification of individual plants in BC2 -F1 and BC2 -F2 generations possessing the targeted genes. Finally 60 plants were selected in BC2 -F2 generation carrying the desired resistance genes, Lr24 and Lr28 in the background of DWR 162. The availability of combination of major rust resistance genes in desirable background would facilitate the strategic deployment of wheat varieties to achieve durable resistance.
