The resistance of 77 disomic chromosome-addition and chromosome-substitution lines of soft wheat that had been created on the base of the Chinese Spring variety to Belorussian populations of powdery mildew and brown leaf rust is studied. The lines possess a chromosome pair introduced from 13 species of cereals as well as three amphiploids. New genes that express resistance to biotrophic fungal pathogens in chromosomes 2S s and 5S s from the Aegilops searsii species and chromosome 6R m from the Secale montanum species were discovered. We do not exclude the possibility that the new resistance gene against powdery mildew is carried by chromosome 6S l from the species Aegilops longissima (line No. 4), and that the new resistance gene against brown leaf rust is carried by chromosome 3E from the species Elytrigia elongata.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
