GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION FOR LESION MIMIC AND OTHER TRAITS IN RELATION TO SPOT BLOTCH RESISTANCE IN SPRING WHEAT.

Genetic characterization for lesion mimic and other traits in relation to spot blotch resistance in spring wheat.

Lesion mimic (Lm) mutants display hypersensitive responses (HR) without any pathogen attack; their symptoms are similar to those produced by a pathogen and result in cell death.In wheat, such mutants have been reported to be resistant against leaf rust due to their biotrophic nature.However, Lm mutants tend to encourage spot blotch (SB) disease cau
