Abstract
The leaf rust resistance gene, Lr18, of common wheat cultivars has been derived from Triticum timopheevi and is located on chromosome arm SBL Chromosome banding (N-banding) analyses revealed that in the wheat cultivars carrying Lr18 that were examined, which had been bred in 6 different countries, chromosome arm SBL possessed a specific terminal band not carried by their susceptible parental cultivars It was suggested that this terminal N-band was introduced from T timopheevi together with Lr18 N-banding analysis of a T. timopheevi strain showed that one of two timopheevi chromosomes had provided Japanese wheat lines containing Lr18 with the terminal band.
