However, the disease has never posed any serious threat to the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop in this region. A very severe but extremely localized BYDV epidemic in the late 1970s at a research station in the Uttar Pradesh hills provided an opportunity to screen wheat germplasm for tolerance to BYDV and led to the identification on one resistant line NS 879/4. Systematic selection in crosses of NS 879/4, carried out during the epidemic year, led to the development of four
