Abstract
The resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici) was evaluated for 29 genotypes of Triticum durum, including 16 cultivars of foreign origin and 13 home lines, in the years 1999–2000. Plants from each of the above-mentioned forms were inoculated at the seedling stage in a greenhouse with four pathotypes of leaf rust and under field conditions in the 8–9 stage according to the Feeke’s scale, with a mixture of the pathogen cultures. Twelve tested forms (7 cultivars and 5 lines) showed a very high resistance to leaf rust at the seedling and adult plant stages. Eight genotypes (5 cultivars and 3 lines) showed a moderate adult plant resistance.
