Summary
Wheat cultivars Salzmünder Bartweizen and Weique gave a similar pattern of reaction type when tested with 27 different races of stem rust and 17 races of leaf rust from Canada and Czechoslovakia. Both cultivars were resistant to all races of stem rust and most of the races of leaf rust. Genetic studies indicated that the two varieties have the same genes for rust resistance, with the genes for leaf and stem rust being closely linked.
Transmission of the genes for rust resistance was irregular and appeared to be associated with meiotic irregularities in chromosome pairing. In all F2 populations which deviated significantly from a 3:1 ratio, a deficiency of resistant plants was noted. The greatest deficiency was in the F2 of crosses involving Salzmünder Bartweizen, of which the F1 hybrid also had the greatest meiotic irregularities.
Chimeral plants, of which the longitudinal half of the leaf showed a resistant reaction and the other half a susceptible reaction, were observed in crosses with Salzmünder Bartweizen.
