Leaf Rust Resistance genes in wheat

Twenty five wheat varieties were evaluated for morphological parameters viz:Flag leaf area, Plant height, peduncle length, tillers per plant, number of nodes per plant, Spike length, awn length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, yield per plant, harvest index, 1000-grain weight. Analysis of Variance, Least significance test and Correlation between these traits were determined.These varieties were also evaluated for the presence or absence of Lr10 and Lr34 genes.. Both Lr10 and Lr34 genes are present in genotypes ZA-77, Khyber-79 and Rohtas-90. So these varieties can be cross with other wheat varieties that lack such genes and their genetic diversity can be increased.
