Abstract

Thirty-four lines of winter wheat were screened for yellow rust resistance against predominant pathotypes of northern India. Four of these were found to be resistant against all the four pathotypes. Breeding wheats involving these sources of resistance may diversify the Indian wheats and reduce the impact of new pathotypes.
