Additional Information
Seventy-one percent of lines showed high to moderate levels of resistance (0-50% disease severity), 13% moderate susceptible (51-70% disease severity), 14% susceptible to highly susceptible (71-100% disease severity) and 2% failed to germinate or were segregating or winter type. Twenty five 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.
