 Abstract 


Wheat cultivars vary in their responses to rust diseases during growing seasons due to the climatic conditions, the quantity of pathogen source, and time of infection. Forty-seven wheat genotypes planted in Egypt and Yunnan, China during 2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2017/2018 growing seasons and evaluated at field level to determine their effectiveness to stripe, leaf, and stem rust diseases under natural conditions. Results showed that 26, 29 and 34 genotypes in Egypt, while 17, 21, and 16 genotypes in Yunnan were resistant to stripe rust during 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons, respectively. Also, eight, nine, and ten genotypes in Egypt were resistant to leaf rust during 2016, 2017, and 2018 seasons, respectively. In Yunnan, there was no infection occurred in 2016 to leaf rust while 43 and 44 wheat lines were resistant to leaf rust in 2017 and 2018 seasons, respectively. In Egypt, 37, 40, and 29 lines were resistant to stem rust in 2016, 2017, and 2018 seasons, respectively. While in Yunnan, there was no infection recorded for stem rust during all three growing seasons. Results exhibited that the resistance genes Yr5, Yr15, Yr17, YrTr1, Yr (7, 25) were resistant to stripe rust, and Lr19 was resistant to leaf rust during all growing seasons in both locations, while the resistance genes Sr24, Sr36, Sr38 were resistant to stem rust in Egypt during all years of the study, for that, these genes can be used safely in the breeding program for releasing new commercial cultivars under agroclimatic conditions of Egypt and Yunnan, China.
