INHERITANCE OF REACTION TO STEM RUST AND LEAF RUST IN THE WHEAT CULTIVAR ETOILE DE CHOISY

Abstract

Triticum aestivum L. cv. Etoile de Choisy possesses two genes governing reaction to Australian and Canadian strains of Puccinia graminis tritici: Sr23, a gene causing chlorosis and necrosis of infected tissue which is completely linked with Lr16 for reaction to P. recondita, and a second gene, designated SrEC, resembling a gene previously reported by Bartos et al., that produces infection type "2" to "3" with avirulent cultures.
