from this study we concluded that RpsEm1, RpsEm2, RpsHF, Rps4, Rps1.c,<br />

RpsVa1, RpsVa2 and RpsAst were effective resistance genes.<br />

The wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions <strong>in</strong> 2007 and 2008 were not favourable for disease<br />

development. In 2009, barley stripe rust developed well at all sites. The results<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicate that <strong>the</strong> Ardabil pathotype is more virulent than two o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

pathotypes.<br />

Effectiveness <strong>of</strong> breed<strong>in</strong>g is highly dependent on <strong>the</strong> relevance <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>formation concern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> nature and extent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pathogenic variation. In<br />

this study we concluded that cv. Bancr<strong>of</strong>t is moderately susceptible. This<br />

cultivar has high-temperature adult plant resistance, which is a form <strong>of</strong><br />

durable resistance (L<strong>in</strong>e, 2002). Thus <strong>in</strong> breed<strong>in</strong>g programmes we can use this<br />

cultivar, <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation with o<strong>the</strong>r cultivars that have desirable characteristics<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r durable resistance genes.<br />

NOTES: HTAP = high-temperature, adult-plant [resistance].<br />

Evaluation <strong>of</strong> commercial cultivars:<br />

Among commercial cultivars, except entries 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 11 (see Table 2) which<br />

had low <strong>in</strong>fection, <strong>the</strong> cultivars had a moderately susceptible or susceptible<br />

reaction to barley stripe rust <strong>in</strong> Ardabil. The results <strong>in</strong>dicated that Ardabil<br />

conditions were favourable for disease development, allow<strong>in</strong>g an appropriate<br />

assessment <strong>of</strong> commercial cultivars.
