A modified CzapekDox medium (containing/l of bi-distilled water in g: glucose, 20; KH2PO4, 0.5; NaNO3, 2; MgSO4.7H2O, 0.5; yeast extract, 1 and 1 ml of a 1% FeSO4 solution(w/w)) supplemented with 0.1 g streptomycin sul- phate/l and 0.01 g neomycin/l after autoclaving wasused for inoculum production. After 1 week the mycelium suspension was ready and 300 ml of the suspension was diluted in 1 l of bi-distilled water for inoculation. The wheat line E2-23-T was grown in 2 m2 plots at the IFA experimental field. This wheat line is a doubled haploid line originating from a cross between CM82036 and Remus and was produced with the maize-wheat pollination system.
