Additional Information
Seventy percent of lines showed high to moderate levels of resistance (0-70% disease severity) and remainder were susceptible to highly susceptible (71-100% disease severity. Twenty three genotypes carrying high level of stripe rust resistance were identified that might be used in case of an incursion or as donor sources in breeding.
