Abstract
SUMMARYFive stocks of winter wheat were resistant to S. avenae in glasshouse screening tests, where resistance was more evident in older than younger plants but different types of resistance were not separated.Antibiosis was measured from the growth and reproduction of caged individual aphids and antixenosis from the settling of adult aphids on detached leaf portions. Cvs Bounty, Rapier and Virtue were resistant due to antibiosis, whilst cv. Kador and line A4501‐4E showed antixenosis. These and other differences indicated that these five wheat stocks probably include at least four distinct sources of resistance to S. avenae. The existence of different types of resistance could account for variability in the results of screening tests.
