Stripe rust is an important foliar disease of Wheat in different wheat growing areas in Pakistan. Different protective measures such as fungicides, cultural or agronomic practices do not ensure long- lasting control.Genetic resistance is preferred over other strategies.Of the genetic resistance, durable resistance (race-nonspecific) is considered a sustainable measure globally. Our study included seedling testing, field evaluation, morphological marker studies and marker assisted selection.Study revealed that 4% varieties were resistant at seedling stage while rest were susceptible or intermediate.Field testing revealed that 4%varieties were resistant,70% were intermediate or moderately resistant while others were highly susceptible.For further validation,morphological markers were also observed in varieties indicating presence of gene Yr18/Lr34. Marker assisted selection of varieties revealed that 11 varieties possessed the desirable marker.Same varieties showed...
