Mapping of prehaustorial resistance against wheat leaf rust in einkorn (Triticum monococcum), a progenitor of wheat.

ABSTRACT: Wheat leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) is one of the most significant fungal diseases of wheat, causing substantial yield losses worldwide. Infestation is currently being reduced by fungicide treatments and mostly vertical resistance. However, these measures often break down when the fungal virulence pattern changes, resulting in a breakdown of vertical resistances. In contrast, the prehaustorial resistance (phr) that occurs in the einkorn-wheat leaf rust interaction is race-independent, characterized by an early defense response of plants during the prehaustorial phase of infestation. Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is closely related to Triticum urartu as a progenitor of wheat and generally shows a high level of resistance against leaf rust of wheat. Hence, einkorn can s
