Abstract

In 2023, a total of 37 single-spore isolates of Puccinia triticina, collected from wheat leaves, were tested. The isolates were evaluated using a differential set consisting of 41 entries, including near-isogenic lines of the Thatcher cultivar, cultivars carrying Lr genes, and the susceptible standard Thatcher. Based on the phytopathological test results, the percentage of virulent isolates identified in Poland in 2023 was determined. The Lr genes Lr2a, Lr9, Lr19, Lr29, Lr52, and Lr63 proved to be highly effective against the tested P. triticina isolates. The pathogen's pathotypes were identified using a set of 16 near-isogenic lines.
