Sr9a

(Green et al., 1960) (Plate 3 8)

Synonym

Sr9 (Knott and Anderson, 1956).

Low Infection Type

1- to 2, 23.

Environmental Variability

Low (Green et al., 1960; Loegering and Harmon, 1969).

Origin

Common wheat. Sr9a was first reported in Red Egyptian.

Pathogenic Variability

Wheats with Sr9a produce differential seedling responses in North America (Green et al., 1960), central America, Brazil and possibly Kenya (Luig, 1983). Sr9a is ineffective in tests with Australian pathotypes (Green et al., 1960) and on the Indian subcontinent.

A. Seedling leaves of (L to R): ISr9a-Ra, Spica, Renown and Bowie; infected with University of Missouri culture 17-53B. Spica and Renown do not carry Sr9a but have a degree of resistance (IT 3C) relative to Bowie (3+). No illustration of the low infection type was possible with cultures available in Australia.
