In order to clarify the composition of leaf rust resistance genes in 39 introduced wheat germplasms, the disease-resistant genes were detected with tightly-linked or co-segregated markers, and the disease resistant level of these germplasms were evaluated by artificial inoculation in the field. The results showed that the leaf rust resistance genes Lr1, Lr10, Lr20, Lr24, Lr26, Lr34, Lr37, and Lr38 〖JP2〗were detected, and their frequencies in 39 germplasms were 30.77%, 17.95%, 2.56%, 5.13%, 12.82%, 30.77%, 23.08% and 5.13%, respectively. The germplasms carrying Lr24 and Lr38 showed effective resistance to leaf rust. The germplasms carrying Lr34 or Lr37 alone showed moderately or highly susceptible to leaf rust, respectively, but the germplasms carrying both Lr34 and Lr37 showed increased resistance to leaf rust, reaching moderately resistant degree. Four germplasms (KPL-1, OK.95571, Moscow 39 and Feiheitudi 24) showed outstanding resistance to leaf rust, reaching 0; degree, which were important sources for leaf rust resistance breeding. KPL-1 and OK.95571 carry three and five resistance genes, respectively, but Moscow 39 and Feiheitudi 24 only carry Lr1. We speculated that these two materials contained other undetected rust resistance genes. In conclusion, pyramiding more leaf rust resistance genes is conducive to improve leaf rust resistance. |
