<strong>of</strong> resistance not only to yellow rust but also to leaf rust, was selected from a<br />

CIMMYT <strong>in</strong>ternational nursery.<br />

CWARTN has been screened for resistance gene sources. All European<br />

standards with well-known Yr genes—3V, 3N, CV, SP, SD, SU, APR, Yr10, Yr9,<br />

Yr5, Yr4, Yr7, Yr6, Yr2+11+25, Yr6+7, Yr6+APR—demonstrated resistance to<br />

yellow rust and late maturity: differences <strong>in</strong> head<strong>in</strong>g date with Avocet up to 20<br />

and more days have been achieved. European standards with genes Yr1, Yr7,<br />

Yr6, Yr2, Yr18 and Yr8+18 showed average susceptibility. The Avocets isogenic<br />

l<strong>in</strong>es that <strong>in</strong>cluded 13 genes have allowed identification <strong>of</strong> high resistance<br />

genes YrA, Yr5, Yr10, Yr15, Yr17 and YrSP. Genes Yr1, Yr6, Yr7, Yr8, Yr9, Yr18<br />

and Yr27 have shown susceptible reactions. Genes Yr9, Yr18, Yr27 (Avocet),<br />

Yr18 and Yr8+18 showed variable reaction (susceptibility/resistance)<br />

depend<strong>in</strong>g on season. Genes Yr6, Yr7 and Yr9, depend<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> genetic<br />

background, have been resistant (He<strong>in</strong>es Peko (Yr6), Reichensberg 42 (Yr7),<br />

Clement (Yr9) and Federation/Kavkaz (Yr9)) or susceptible (He<strong>in</strong>es Kolben<br />

(Yr6), Lee (Yr7), Cranbrook (Yr7) and Federation (Yr9)). The jo<strong>in</strong>tly act<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Yr6+Yr7 (Corella) showed a high level <strong>of</strong> resistance. F<strong>in</strong>ally, cvs Morocco,<br />

Avocet, Federation, Kalyansona, Sardari, Ghurab 2, Ak Bugday, Noroeste and<br />

Attila have been especially highly susceptible (S60–80).<br />

Study <strong>of</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter wheat germplasm and varieties for<br />

resistance to yellow rust <strong>in</strong> Kyrgyzstan conditions<br />

A limit<strong>in</strong>g factor for fur<strong>the</strong>r growth <strong>of</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter wheat productivity is yellow<br />

rust. It is widespread <strong>in</strong> all wheat regions, and especially a problem <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Issyk-Kul region, Chui valley and foothill zones <strong>of</strong> Kyrgyzstan. Strong<br />

epidemics <strong>of</strong> yellow rust were reported <strong>in</strong> 1939–1941, 1946 and 2002.<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce 1999, <strong>the</strong> Kyrgyz Agricultural Research Institute, <strong>in</strong> association with<br />

scientists from International Centers (CIMMYT and <strong>ICARDA</strong>), has actively<br />

evaluated w<strong>in</strong>ter wheat germplasm, and also prospective genotypes <strong>of</strong> Kyrgyz<br />

orig<strong>in</strong> and a special nursery on yellow rust (CWAYRTN).<br />

The study was conducted <strong>in</strong> Chui valley at <strong>the</strong> Experimental Station <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Kyrgyz Agricultural Research Institute. The station is located 813 masl, 43° N<br />

and 75° E. Average annual precipitation is 350–500 mm.
