Abstract
Two genes for stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.) resistance were transferred from the Ethiopian durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L) accession St. 464 to Thatcher and Prelude/8* Marquis common wheat. One gene was shown by monosomic analysis to be on chromosome 4B and proved to be Sr7a. Monosomic analysis failed to locate the second gene. It is only partially dominant and conditions resistance to a range of races. Key words: Rust resistance, stem rust, wheat, Puccinia graminis tritici, Triticum aestivum, Triticum turgidum
