Markers for Lr37-Yr17-Sr38
A long chromosomal fragment (25-38 cM) containing three rust resistance genes was translocated between the short arms ofTriticum ventricosum 2NS and the bread wheat chromosome 2AS (1). This segment includes three disease resistance genes: Lr37, Yr17 and Sr38 conferring resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks), stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis West. f. sp. tritici) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.
