This gene came to me in a segregating backcross population derived from a synthetic wheat involving a durum (K733) and Aegilops squarrosa. Yr24 is readily recognised in the durum parent. Low infection type varies from ;NN to 1NN. Yr24 is located in chromosome 1B and is about 5cM from Yr15 and based on this level of recombination it should be in 1BS and should not be allelic with Yr10. Chen et al. (1995) located and designated gene Yr21 (= YrLemhi) in chromosome 1B but linkage relationships are unknown. As Australian isolates of P. striiformis are virulent on seedlings of Lemhi, we are unable to show linkage relationships between Yr24 and Yr21. Yr24 confers resistance to all Australian pathotypes. The reaction is illustrated in Plate 4-26 in McIntosh, Wellings and Park 1995. Wheat Rusts: An Atlas of Resistance Genes. Proposed gene catalogue listing will be: Yr24 (9633). 1BS (9633) v: Meering*3//K733/Aeg.squarrosa. 9633. McIntosh R.A. et al. 1995. In preparation. In addition to the bionet this communication will be sent to the following. Please advise colleagues. Comments by 30 September 1995. C.R. Wellings M. Cromey R.F. Line S. Nayar R. Johnson M. Aslam K.

Dear Colleagues, With the increasing numbers of reports on the genetic suppression of resistance conferred by characterised genes for disease resistance, it is time to address the problem of genetic nomenclature of such suppressors. It appears that suppressors are specific in effect. Evidence for suppression of resistance comes largely from wide crosses in that resistance phenotypes of one species may be lost in crosses of hybrids or amphiploids with a second species. A common phenomenon with hexaploid wheat is the reduced level of resistance (partial suppression?) as genes are moved from lower to higher levels of ploidy. There are two instances in wheat where suppressors of resistance could/should be designated currently. The first, discovered by Kerber and co-workers at Winnipeg, involves a dominant gene in chromosome 7D that reduces the expression of stem rust resistance conferred by gene(s) in the A and/or B genome(s). Workers at Winnipeg and Fargo have used knowledge of this behaviour to induce mutants of the suppressor gene thus permitting bread wheat to express a phenotype obtained in nulli- 7D plants or in durum. At this stage, the identity of the gene(s) that are suppressed is unknown - my personal opinion is that Sr12 is important. It may be of interest that I have been unable to repeat these differences using Australian P. graminis isolates. The best I get is ; versus 0; with avirulent cultures for Canthatch and desuppressed mutant lines from Fargo; otherwise both are IT 3+. The second is from this laboratory and involves suppression of Pm8 located in the 1BL.1RS translocation chromosome. The dominant suppressor of Pm8 is located in chromosome 1A. Suppression appears to be specific for Pm8. The rules of genetic nomenclature allow for the use of I or Su for dominant inhibitors or suppressors. So using the Pm8 example the suppressor could be designated IPm8 or SuPm8 (or Ipm8 or Supm8). We cannot use I-Pm8 and Su-Pm8 because the - conveys a different meaning. Su is already used as a stand-alone symbol in wheat and I is already combined with small letters in, for example, Ibf and Igc. Since we tend to be calling the genes "suppressors" rather than "inhibitors", I prefer the symbol SuPm8 - the capital P provides the unique part of the symbol as Supm could be an abbreviation for a totally different trait. I need guidance in reaching a consensus for cataloguing suppressors of genes for disease resistance. I suggest we need to know the identity of the resistance gene (or at least its source) and its location, and we need to know the specificity and location of the suppressor. If there is agreement on this then I propose the following addition to special rules for Pathogenic Disease/Pest Reaction for the Catalogue of Gene Symbols for Wheat. 4. Specific suppressors of resistance conferred by genes for disease reaction will be designated by Su followed by the name of the gene that is suppressed. Such suppressors will be recognised in gene lists because genes for disease/pest reaction are always named with an upper case letter. Proposed listing for Catalogue of Gene Symbols for Wheat: Pm8 Suppressor of Pm8 SuPm8 (9632). 1AS (9632) v: Many wheats with the 1BL.1RS translocation, especially frequent in populations from CIMMYT. 9632.

McIntosh Dear Colleagues, I read with great interest this circular. Working with the ITMI - mapping population we have been able to map a suppressor for leaf rust resistance gene Lr23. To my great surprise the suppressor is probably a homeoallele of Lr23 as it is located in chromosome 2DS at a similar position where Lr23 is located in 2BS. The RFLP markers on two sides of the suppressor and the Lr23 gene were also the same. The result of Bob indicates that the suppressor for Pm8 is in chromosome 1AS, which is also homologous to the 1RS where Pm8 is present. Does that mean that the resistance genes like Lr23 and Pm8 have evolved out of the DNA sequence which is now being recognized as the suppressor?. I shall appreciate any comments regarding this as we are currently preparing the manuscript. I welcome the nomenclature of the suppressors as recommended by Bob and would like to designate the suppressor for Lr23 as SuLr23.

Comments by 15 October please.SuLr23 (9636). 2DS (9636) v: Genotype(s) to be provided 9636. Singh RP 1995 Pers. comm.Comment: I recall that at the time of undertaking cytogenetic and mapping work with Lr23, Dr. P. Dyck obtained ratios of 1 hom.Res : 8 Seg : 7 hom. sus in Thatcher crosses. He sent populations to me and I obtained 1 : 2 : 1. We attributed differences to "environmental" effects. It is therefore likely that there is specificity in regard to the suppression, with no apparent suppression when tests are conducted with Australian cultures (McIntosh and Dyck, 1975. Aust, J. Biol. Sci. 28: 201-211). We stated: "A gene which inhibited the expression of Lr23 under Canadian test conditions acted as a partial inhibitor, or modifier, under Australian test conditions."RRRR.A.

I'm doing molecular biology with grape powdery mildew, an I wonder if somebody in this group would know references concerning codon use in powdery mildew fungi, or in closely related fungi. I know that grape is not a cereal, but I believe that people working with biotrophic fungal pathogens may encounter the same difficulties, whatever the host plant of the fungus may be: it could be interesting to discuss in this group about ALL biotrophic fungi, and not only about those from cereals. I thank you for your answers.

We will use this opportunity to concentrate on progress in our favourite interaction: barley-powdery mildew. We would therefore greatly appreciate copies of recent papers and copies of manuscripts in press. The manuscript deadline is 1 December, so an early response would be greatly appreciated.
