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

OBJECTIVEInvestigate the specificity of the Canthatch suppressor- Is it stem rust-specific?- Is suppression related to genomes or
chromosome locations?
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
Approach
Location Lr Yr Sr4A Sr7b2B Lr16 Yr5 Sr363B

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.
