High Priority Genes
Fusarium Head Blight (2 genes) High Molecular Weight Glutenins (2–3 genes) Stem Rust (esp. Ug99–effective genes) Leaf Rust (Lr34) Waxy Grain Protein (GPC–6B) Tan spot (Tsn1) Reduced height (Rht1 and Rht2)
Crossing Parent Marker Database
Leaf Rust Mapping/Crossing Targets
• “Durable” resistance with combinations of Lr13 + Lr16 + Lr23 + Lr34 • Ulen/Thatcher • AC Taber/Thatcher • RB07/Faller
• both have defeated gene Lr21, but RB07 less receptive as adult plant
• Introgressing: • Lr52, Americano 44d (Uruguayan landrace)
Backcrossing Ug99-Effective Genes
• Preliminary yield trials of “NIL” lines in 2013 • Funded by MN AES Rapid Response Project
