Abstract

Septoria tritici and S nodorum are the most damaging foliar diseases of wheat in the UK. Available sources of resistance are normally under polygenic control and are difficult to handle in breeding programmes. It is proposed to use the comprehensive array of precise genetic stocks of wheat developed at the John Innes Centre together with new techniques of genetic analysis, new biochemical and molecular gene marker systems and advances in molecular pathology to identify components of the polygenic resistance to Septoria species and provide diagnostic markers to ease their handling in breeding programmes.
