Abstract
AbstractThis study was undertaken to understand the inheritance of leaf rust resistance in line TM16 of Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum var. macedonicum Papag. which is the source of resistance transferred into hexaploid triticale lines (Tcl/Tm). Thirty‐two secondary tetraploid genotypes were analysed cytologicaly to identify substitutions of Am‐genome chromosomes by their homoeologous A‐genome chromosomes from a leaf rust susceptible hexaploid triticale accession. Plants with one (or more) substituted chromosomes were inoculated with leaf rust at two growth stages. The disease phenotypes of these lines indicated that a major resistance gene was located on the short arm of T. monococcum chromosome 2Am. An additional gene on chromosome 6Am had complementary effects in enhancing the effects of the gene on chromosome 2Am.
