Figure 1From: A change in temperature modulates defence to yellow (stripe) rust in wheat line UC1041 independently of resistance gene Yr36The effect of changes in temperature on yellow rust resistance in adult plants of wheat lines UC1041 +/- Yr36. A) Mean percentage (%) leaf area covered in pustules at 18 dpi on UC1041 - Yr36 (dark grey) and UC1041 + Yr36 (light grey) adult plants inoculated with Pst isolate 08/21 under three different temperature treatments. Mean values (± 1 standard error) were obtained from six biological replicates. Data was analysed using the general linear model and statistically significant differences are indicated by a different letter (P <0.01). B) Pst symptoms at 18 dpi on flag leaf sections from plants at the three temperature treatments. Uredia can be observed within necrotic/chlorotic areas on the leaf surface.Back to article page
