Cytogenetic studies in wheat. XV. Location of rust resistance genes in VPM1 and their genetic linkage with other disease resistance genes in chromosome 2A.

Abstract: Inheritance studies showed that the VPM1-derived seedling resistances to stem rust, stripe rust, leaf rust, and powdery mildew were controlled by single genes; the genes for rust resistance were de...

Breeding for Trace Minerals in Wheat

Abstract: In the search for genetic material with high iron and zinc concentration in wheat grain, a significant positive correlation has been found between iron and zinc concentrations, suggesting that these two traits may be combined relatively easily during breeding. In future research, the very high values of iron and zinc in the grain seen in wild types and landraces need to be confirmed in trials in which all the best material is planted in the same location and year. In addition, it is important to determine if these high levels of iron and zinc in the grain can be maintained in high-yielding material.The production of semi-dwarf wheat through the introduction of the rht genes has resulted in substantial yield increases. However, this is associated with a reduction in iron and zinc concentrations in some bread wheat genotypes, but not in durum wheat. The presence of the 1B/1R translocation in the wheat germplasm of the Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maiz y Trigo (CIMMYT) to increase leaf rust resist...
