CIMMYT and Turkey's international shuttle breeding program to develop wheat lines with fusarium crown rot and other soil borne pathogen resistances - Mexico, DF (Mexico) : CIMMYT, 2006. - Printed Computer File
CIMMYT International in collaboration with The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs have established an international field and laboratory screening program for identifying spring and winter wheat accessions with resistance to SBPs (soil borne pathogens) including dryland root rot and cereal nematodes. Several screening protocols for assessing resistance to both cereal root rots and nematodes have been modified and optimized. Known resistance sources to SBPs from other regions of the world have been tested against Turkish isolates of SBPs and several of these have been shown to be effective in the region. In addition new sources of resistance with genetic variability have been identified against the prevalent SBPs. These diverse genes for resistance are being pyramided into both spring and winter bread wheat backgrounds using both conventional and molecular tools where feasible. The integrated coordinated screening and breeding program involving pathologists, breeders and molecular biologists is described to illustrate the approach in developing multiple disease resistant germplasm to SBPs.
