The wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-Aegilops geniculata introgression T5DL·5DS-5MgS(0.95), with stripe rust resistance gene Yr40 and leaf rust resistance gene Lr57, is an effective source of resistance against most isolates of the rust pathogen in Kansas and IndiaJagger (PI 593688 and Overley (PI 634974), were selected as recurrent parents for backcrossingThe wheat germplasm line T5DL·5DS-5MgS(0.95) (TA5602) derived from Ae. geniculata (TA10437) in WL711 background (Kuraparthy et al., 2007a) was used. Germplasm line TA5602 is the source of leaf rust resistance gene Lr57 and stripe rust resistance gene Yr40 as WL711, an Indian soft white spring wheat cultivar, is highly susceptible to leaf rust andstripe rust. However, WL711 carries leaf rust resistance gene Lr13, which is effective against race PNMQ of leaf rustfigure is
