Abstract
A set of 169 single descent lines from the cross Thatcher/LMPG-6 was used to study the inheritance of seedling resistance to six races of stem rust in Thatcher. The same lines were tested with two of the races in separate field nurseries. The results showed that at least some of the genes for seedling resistance had a significant, but limited, effect on field resistance. Additional genes conferred resistance only in adult plants in the field. Key words: Field resistance, stem rust, Thatcher wheat
