Enhanced resistance in wheat against stem rust achieved by marker assisted backcrossing involving three independent Sr genes

Marker assisted backcrossing (MABC) was used to transfer the three stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici) resistant genes Sr25, SrWeb and Sr50 into the popular Indian wheat cv. HUW234. The donor was the CIMMYT breeding line PMBWIR4, and each of the target genes was marked by a simple PCR assay. A thr...
