Leaf rust is a widespread foliar wheat disease causing substantial yield losses worldwide. Slow rusting is “adult plant” resistance that significantly slows epidemic development and thereby reduces yield loss. Wheat accession CI 13227 was previously characterized as having slow-rusting resistance. T...
