    Identification of Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis F. sp. Tritici) Resistance in the Ethiopian Wheat Landraces
    Author(s): Fikrte Yirga* and Ayele Badebo

    Stripe rust is caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is threatening wheat production in Ethiopia. Wheat varieties succumb to new Pst race (s) soon after their release from research centers. The objective of this study was to determine stripe rust resistance in selected Ethiopian wheat landraces obtained from the Ethiopian Institute of Biodiversity (IBCE). In 2017, a total of 197 accessions (152 bread and 45 durum wheat land-races) were exposed to the prevailing stripe rust races in hot spot areas (Kulumsa and Meraro) in Arsi zone of Oromia region. In the second year 2018, only promising landraces 103 (69 bread and 34 durum)) were evaluated both at seedling and adult plant growth stages. The seedling test was conducted in the greenhouse at Kulumsa research center using three Pstraces. In field evaluations, terminal s.. View more»
