Wheat (Triticum aestivum) line ISr9d-Ra, having a gene (Sr9d) for resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) from Hope,2019; was crossed with ISr9a-Ra, having a gene (Sr9a) for resistance from Red Egyptian. The purpose of the cross was to investigate the linkage or allelic relations between the two genes. The F2 and F3 were inoculated simultaneously with a culture of stem rust race 121 having grey-brown urediospores and a culture of race 29 having reddish-brown urediospores. We did not recover recombinants among 746 gametes from F1 plants heterozygous for the two genes and 4140 seedlings from heterozygous F2 plants. The genes from Hope and Red Egyptian were allelic or closely linked.
