Understanding the genetic variability and differential response of wheat genotypes to stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici is crucial for identifying resistant cultivars and enhancing breeding programs aimed at developing disease-resilient varieties. The objective of this study was to evaluate 55 wheat genotypes for their resistance and susceptibility to stripe rust by analyzing their coefficient of infection (CI) values, aiming to identify resistant cultivars for use in breeding programs and disease management strategies. Among the evaluated genotypes, 31 were classified as resistant, exhibiting mean CI values ranging from 4.722 to 10.39. Noteworthy resistant genotypes included 21C216 (4.722), 20FJ27 (5.918), 20FJ23 (6.167), and 21C229 (8.055). Nineteen genotypes were identified as moderately resistant, with mean CI values spanning from 10.974 to 20.418. Representative genotypes in this category included 20FJ25 (10.974), 21C225 (11.333), 20C207 (14.612), and 21C233 (18.195). Moreover, four genotypes exhibited intermediate responses and were categorized as moderately resistant/moderately susceptible, with mean CI values ranging from 23.832 to 31.834. This group included MA-2021 (23.832) and Dharabi-11 (27.61). A single genotype, Morocco, was classified as susceptible, displaying the highest mean CI value of 61.333. Notably, the response remained consistent across both years, although the severity levels varied. These results reflect significant genetic variability among the genotypes, providing critical insights for resistance breeding efforts.References
