Rust diseases specifically leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita. f. sp. tritici, is globally important fungal of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) that is responsible for significant yield losses; up to 40% worldwide. Due to rapid change of pathogen races, single gene resistance is short lived in wheat cultivars. Alternatively, a more durable form of resistance is attributed to slow leaf rusting for which certain genotypes have been identified and characterized. Genetic studies indicate that slow rusting resistance is under polygenic control with moderately high heritability. Such resis...
