Characterization of durum wheat resistance against leaf rust under climate change conditions of increasing temperature and [CO₂].

ABSTRACT: Durum wheat cultivation in Mediterranean regions is threatened by abiotic factors, mainly related to the effects of climate change, and biotic factors such as the leaf rust disease. This situation requires an in-depth knowledge of how predicted elevated temperatures and [CO₂] will affect durum wheat-leaf rust interactions. Therefore, we have characterised the response of one susceptible and two resistant durum wheat accessions against leaf rust under different environments in greenhouse assays, simulating the predicted conditions of elevated temperature and [CO₂] in the far future period of 2070-2099 for the wheat growing region of Cordoba, Spain. Interestingly, high temperature alone or in combination with high [CO₂] did not alter the external appearance o
