Popis: Stripe rust or yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars is the most effective approach to control the disease. There have been numerous reports on the resistance genes to stripe rust (Yr gene) in wheat, but just a few Yr genes are resistant to currently epidemic races and applied in wheat production. Gene pyramiding is considered to be an effective way to enhance durable disease resistance in crops. In this experiment, a panel of Yr gene pyramiding lines (consisting of 3–8 Yr genes) with cv. Chuanyu12 as background parent were constructed by using marker assistant selection and evaluated under currently epidemic Pst races. The results showed that the number of pyramided Yr genes was significant correlated with stripe rust resistance (p
