Permanent Spreading of 1RS.1AL and 1RS.1BL Translocations in Modern Wheat Breeding

“…Avrora and Kavkaz are cultivars involved in the pedigrees of many wheat varieties as a 1RS.1BL donor [ 3 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. This translocation is widely used in the breeding programs at P.P.…”

“…Lukyanenko [ 3 , 7 ]. Kavkaz and Avrora have been widely used in breeding programs in Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, former republics of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and other countries [ 3 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The 1RS.1BL translocation was also independently produced at the Lukyanenko National Grain Centre (NGC) and was introduced into wheat cultivars Polovchanka, Knyazhna and Krasota [ 15 ].…”

Analyzing wheat cultivars grown in Czech Republic for eight stem rust resistance genes

“…Epidemics of this plant disease causing yield losses were recorded in 1930s and 1940s, followed by mild epidemics in 1958 and 1962 (Zadoks, 1967). Latest epidemic was recorded in 1972 when Pgt population overcame resistance gene Sr5 (Bartoš, 2010). Genes Sr31 and SrTmp remained effective at that time.…”

Intact spore MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and proteomic analysis of Puccinia pathogenic fungi

“…They belong to the phylum Basidiomycota where they are further classified in the order Pucciniales (previously also Uredinales) [2]. In the Czech Republic, three species infecting wheat are well studied: Puccinia triticina, Puccinia graminis and Puccinia striiformis [3]. Among other important rust fungi, Puccinia coronata causes the most damaging disease on oats and has probably been pathogenic since the plant was first cultivated [4].…”
