Inheritance of Stripe Rust Resistance in the Native Wheat Variety Dazicao from China
小麦农家品种大籽糙抗条锈性的遗传分析 Inheritance of Stripe Rust Resistance in the Native Wheat Variety Dazicao from China

Dazicao, a native wheat variety with stripe rust resistance from Henan, China, was crossed with susceptible cultivar Mingxian 169 as the female parent. The F(1) progeny was selfed to produce F(2) progeny and backcrossed with Mingxian 169 to produce BC(1) progeny. In air-conditioned greenhouse,seedlings of the F(1), F(2), BC1 progenies and their parents were inoculated with the prevalent races CY28 and CY32 of Puccinia striiformis respectively. The phenotypes of the F(1), F(2) and BC(1) plants were analyzed for resistance to the two races. The results indicated that the resistance in the Dazicao to race CY32 was controlled by one recessive gene,and the resistance to race CY28 by complementary action of one dominant gene and one recessive gene.
