dc.description.abstractAssociations of pathogenicity in predominantly asexually reproducing populations of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici were analyzed for eight selected years between 1929 and 1978 on 10 standard differential wheat lines. In 1975, pathogenicity associations on 16 “single gene” lines were examined for sexual and asexual fungal populations. Associations were frequent and highly significant in all years of testing with the standard differential lines; for one-fourth of the paired combinations, the association vacillated from positive to negative over the eight years. Associations of pathogenicity were much more frequent and stronger in the asexual than in the sexual population in 1975. These data provide evidence that, in asexually reproducing populations of P. graminis f. sp. tritici, virulences and avirulences are effectively linked; thus, selectively important associations and associations occurring by chance are indistinguishable. Associations found in sexual populations are more likely to be maintained by selection. Negative associations for pathogenicity existed for host gene pairs Sr7b/15, 11/9a, 8/15, 8/17, 9a/10, 9a/Tmp, 9a/9e, and 36/15 in the sexual population. Experiments are advocated to find if selection for increased pathogen fitness on one host genotype leads to decreased fitness on other host genotypes. Combinations of resistance genes for which pathogens have low fitness could be introduced into cultivars for potentially more durable rust resistance.
