Popis: The stem rust reactions in the field and greenhouse of 38 wheat cultivars previously selected for resistance in Kenya are presented. A group of these cultivars had good resistance to the main races found in Canada. The cultivars appear to have a diversity of types of resistance, and there is evidence that their resistance results from the action of genes not previously identified. The 38 cultivars constitute a resistance gene pool that should facilitate the breeding of wheat cultivars resistant to stem rust in Kenya.
