Genetic resistance to leaf and culm rust in Brazilian wheat varieties Toropi and BRS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Erikss) (Pt) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn) (Pgt) characterize important bottlenecks in wheat production throughout the world. As pathogens spread and develop new virulences, durable genetic resistance is the most effective control strategy. The Brazilian variety „Toropi‟ has maintained durable resistance to Pt for over 50 years, and has been studied and considered a valuable genetic resource for rust diseases. In addition to „Toropi‟, „BRS 194‟ variety, developed in 2000, was also resistant to all Pt races occurring in Brazil and in South American countries, until its qualitative resista nce was overcome five years later by a new Pt virulence, MFP-CT race. This study was carried out in two locations (Brazil and Canada) and aimed to investigate leaf and stem rust resistance in both varieties. A double-haploid population was developed from „Toropi‟ x „BRS 194‟ and inoculated in the seedling stage with the MCJ-HN (Pt) race in Brazil. In adult plant stage, the population was inoculated with MFP-CT (Pt) in Brazil and CCDS (Pt) in Canada. The population and parents were also genotyped for rye translocation 1BL.1RS, segment known to possess rust resistance genes, and for the presence of Sr36 gene. For stem rust, parental seedlings were inoculated with isolates TTKSK (Ug99), TPMK, TMRT, RHTS, MCCF, QTHJF and RTHJ. For leaf rust, in the seedling stage, „BRS 194‟ exhibited resistance (TI =; 1) and „Toropi‟ displayed susceptibility (TI = 3). The 1:1 proportion observed in the population indicated a single resistance gene from „BRS 194‟. In the adult plant test in Brazil with MFP-CT isolate, „BRS 194‟ ex hibited susceptibility (TI = 3) and „Toropi‟ showed resistance (TI = 0; / 0; 1). In the test carried out in Canada, „BRS 194‟ was susceptible (TI = 3) and „Toropi‟ resistant (IT = 1-). Regarding 1BL.1RS translocation, „Toropi‟ was negative and „BRS 194‟ was positive. „BRS 194‟ was resistant to all Pgt races, and IT=0 to TTKSK suggested the presence of gene Sr36, which was supported by molecular marker STM773-2 (+) and variety „Arthur 71‟ (Sr36 carrier) in its pedigree. The variety „Toropi‟ was resistant to RHTS, MCCF, QTHJF and RTHJ, suggesting that „Toropi‟ has a Pgt resistance gene. These results provide new perspectives regarding the Brazilian wheat varieties „Toropi‟ and „BRS 194‟. Both genotypes provide effective resistance sources against Pt and Pgt and are valuable for expanding the genetic base in wheat breeding programs. This study presents „BRS 194‟ as an adapted and resistant variety against Ug99, contributing for breeders to be at the forefront in the battle against this pathogen, which has not yet been detected in Brazil.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
