Comprehensive analysis and initial exploitation of resistance to wheat stem rust race Ug99
| Copy Link | |
| Coordinating organisation: | Institute of Plant Biology |
| Description: | The proposed project aims to (1) identify and genetically characterize sources of effective host plant resistance; and (2) identify QTL which contribute to durable adult plant resistance; This will be achieved through (1) field screening in Kenya of germplasm from CIMMYT and other collaborators; (2) collaborative gene postulation and QTL studies with CIMMYT and ARIs. It is expected that the above activities result in identification of novel and diverse sources of stem rust resistance that can be used for Kenya and global wheat improvement to protect wheat crop in countries of North Africa, Middle East and Asia. |
