Meeting the Challenge of Yellow Rust in Cereal Crops - ICARDA

In our breeding programme we are looking for combinations of seedling
and adult plant resistance genes or numerous APR genes (4 or 5) to provide
durable resistance. Further study needs to be undertaken of these resistant
lines to map the inheritance pattern and to know the number of gene(s)
conferring resistance.
