Wheat Variety Responses to Stripe Rust
by Colin Wellings, Harbans Bariana and Robert Park

Cereal Rust Update, Volume 2 number 4, which provides stripe rust ratings for Australian wheat cultivars

The stripe rust epidemic throughout the majority of Australian wheat growing regions in 2004 has prompted the question of variety reaction to the disease. Expected variety responses for eastern Australia wheats were circulated in several reports, the most recent being Cereal Rust Report Volume 1, Issue 5 (January 2004). In general, varieties have performed to expectation in 2004. The pathotype survey has, to date, shown no evidence of change in the pathogen population and in general, the relative rankings of variety response to stripe rust have not altered appreciably.
