Abstrakt: Three hybrid populations (F1) of Coffea arabica were evaluated under field and laboratory conditions, derived from sources carrying the SH1 coffee leaf rust (CLR) resistance gene and the CX.2385 line, obtained from the Caturra × Timor Hybrid CIFC-1343. The results obtained under controlled conditions and analyzed using survival curves allowed to estimate the probable times (p < 0.05) for the development of symptoms associated with CLR in the plants of populations evaluated. Phenotypic variation was observed as a defense response to Hemileia vastatrix infection, and plants with incomplete resistance to CLR were identified via an evaluation using the increasing lesions scale. The plants with incomplete resistance exhibited a delay in the development of the incubation period and an absence of the development of the dormancy period. Data suggest that when resistance genes in the sources are defeated by compatible strains, their recombination can give rise to new levels of resistance in the progeny. Additionally, the detached leaf methodology is recommended as an alternative to preselect genotypes with resistance to CLR, thus reducing the number of plants that are finally planted for field evaluations.
