The quantitative resistance of three alloplasmatic and 29 substituted soft wheat lines containing the nuclear genome of the Leningradka variety to a floury mildew population was studied on a stringent infective background, by measuring the mean spore-bearing ability of the fungus per cm2 of the third and flag leaves of each plant line and the initial Leningradka variety. Dispersion analysis showed that the plant cytoplasm had a significant effect on pathogen reproduction during the ontogenetic development of wheat plants. Cytoplasms from a number of cultivated and wild species had modifying effects on the expression of the nuclear genes controlling quantitative resistance. It is suggested that a specific interaction between the fungal and host plant genomes is involved in determining quantitative resistance in the presence of cytoplasms modifying fungal reproduction during plant ontogenesis. A non-specific interaction probably occurs in the presence of cytoplasms maintaining a stable level of quantitative resistance during ontogenesis.
