“…Traits of interest include resistance to leaf rust including the genes Lr10 , Lr18 , and Lr50 ( McIntosh, 1983 ; Brown-Guedira et al, 2003 ; Leonova et al, 2010 ; Singh et al, 2017 ), stem rust including the genes Sr36 , Sr37 , and Sr40 ( Allard and Shands, 1954 ; McIntosh and Gyarfas, 1971 ; Dyck, 1992 ), powdery mildew including the genes Pm2 , Pm6, Pm27 , and Pm37 ( Allard and Shands, 1954 ; Jørgensen and Jensen, 1972 ; Peusha et al, 1995 ; Järve et al, 2000 ; Perugini et al, 2008 ; Qin et al, 2011 ), Fusarium head blight ( Malihipour et al, 2016 , 2017 ), black-point ( Lehmensiek et al, 2004 ), Hessian fly, Septoria blotch, wheat curl mite and tan spot ( Brown-Guedira et al, 1996 ). Triticum timopheevii has also been shown to be a source of resistance to abiotic stresses such as salt tolerance ( Badridze et al, 2009 ; Yudina et al, 2016 ) and traits affecting grain quality such as milling yield and grain protein ( Lehmensiek et al, 2008 ) and mineral content ( Hu et al, 2017 ).…”
