Abstract:To detect the resistance to races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) and stripe rust resistance genes in commercial wheat cultivars and regional test wheat lines in Shaanxi Province, we tested 115 wheat cultivars (lines) with Pst prevalent race CYR32 and new race V26 at the seedling stage, and screened these cultivars (lines) with the closely linked molecular markers of wheat stripe rust resistance genes Yr5, Yr9 (1B/1R), Yr10, Yr18 and Yr26. Our results indicated that 61 (53.04%) cultivars (lines) were resistant to CYR32, 84 (73.04%) were resistant to V26 and 50 (43.48%) were resistant to both CYR32 and V26. The results of molecular detection showed that none of the tested cultivars (lines) contained Yr10. There were 41, 3, 3 and 2 cultivars (lines) containing Yr9,Yr5, Yr18 and Yr26, accounting for 35.65%, 2.61%, 2.61% and 1.74%, respectively. Therefore, the whole stripe rust resistance levels of commercial wheat cultivars and regional test wheat lines need to be improved, and the frequency of stripe rust resistance gene Yr9 is still too high and the frequencies of Yr5, Yr10, Yr18 and Yr26 are low. In future wheat breeding programs, the non-effective gene Yr9 should be avoided being used, and genes Yr5 and Yr18 should be used to pyramid with other stripe rust effective resistance genes to achieve durable resistance.
