Breeding for Resistance R-gene nomenclature Leaf Rust: Lr Stem Rust: Sr Stripe (Yellow) Rust: Yr R-genes confer resistance in a race-specific manner Lr21 Confers resistance to leaf rust race PRTUS6

Suppression of stem rust resistance Stem rust-specific suppressor on Canthatch 7DL 7DL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ABD Su Sr7 Sr9 Sr16 Sr12
8
OBJECTIVE Investigate the specificity of the Canthatch suppressor - Is it stem rust-specific? - Is suppression related to genomes or chromosome locations?
9
Objective Investigate the stem rust specificity of the suppressor Genetic characteristic of the suppressor Absence of leaf rust or stripe rust resistance genes in the Canthatch background

11
Objective Identify patterns of suppression related to genomes or chromosome locations

Control Crosses Other suppressors in D genome (Bai & Knott, 1991) Suppression may or may not be from our suppressor Cross with mNS1 -Can If resistance is suppressed, it is not because of our suppressor If resistance is expressed, it supports our hypothesis that it is because of our suppressor.
