Study on Resistance to Yellow Rust (Puccinia striiformis West.) in Hexaploid Wheat Doubled Haploid Lines and their Parents

In Order to evaluated resistance to yellow rust in some doubled haploid lines and their parents in the spring hexaploid wheat, fourty doubled haploid lines together with their parents (Ghods, 9106 and 6605), and two cultivars Bolani (Susceptible check) and Triticum spelta var. album (Resistant check) in a randomized block design with three replications were tested in the greenhouse conditions in seedling stage to four races 134E134A+ , 38E2A- , 7E18A- and 230E62A+ of yellow rust. Resistance components measured were latent period (L. P.) and infection type (I. T.). The results showed that, some doubled haploid lines were resistant to the races of yellow rust, e.g. line (GH 91) DH3 was resistant (I. T. = 2) to race 134E134A+ , in spite of the susceptibility of both parents.
