Studying Stem Rust and Leaf Rust Resistances of Self-Fertile Rye Breeding Populations.

ABSTRACT: Stem rust (SR) and leaf rust (LR) are currently the two most important rust diseases of cultivated rye in Central Europe and resistant cultivars promise to prevent yield losses caused by those pathogens. To secure long-lasting resistance, ideally pyramided monogenic resistances and race-nonspecific resistances are applied. To find respective genes, we screened six breeding populations and one testcross population for resistance to artificially inoculated SR and naturally occurring LR in multi-environmental field trials. Five populations were genotyped with a 10K SNP marker chip and one with DArTseq^TM. In total, ten SR-QTLs were found that caused a reduction of 5-17 percentage points in stem coverage with urediniospores. Four QTLs thereof were mapped to positions of already known
