Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici and leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina are among the most important widespread diseases of wheat (Triticum spp.). Seedling and adult plant partial resistance were assessed for both diseases in 46 wheat genotypes, including 20 Egyptian cultivars and 26 CIMMYT genotypes, during two growing seasons (2018/19 and 2019/20) in Egypt. Four Egyptian cultivars (cvs), Misr-1, Misr-2, Misr-3, Giza-171 and eight CIMMYT genotypes, Jupateco-73-R, Pavon-F-76, Opata-85, Thew, Kiskadee-1, Chewink-1, Exchange, Quaiu-1 showed partial resistance to both diseases at the seedling stage. They recorded the longest incubation period (IP) and latent period (LP) for both diseases. Seven
