The genetics of leaf rust resistance in the durably resistant wheat cultivar ‘Toropi’

Wheat is infected by leaf rust disease (Puccinia triticina Eriks.) almost everywhere it is cultivated. The dynamic nature of P. triticina populations affects the effective life span of genes conferring leaf rust resistance (Lr genes). Genetic diversity and combinations of Lr genes should be used to...
