In this study, the reactions of 70 bread wheat varieties released in Tü:rkiye to five prevalent Pst races, including the Yr5-virulent PSTr-27, were evaluated. Reaction tests of wheat varieties to all races revealed PSTr-27 as the most aggressive race, followed by PSTr-31, PSTr-28, PSTr-29, and PSTr-30. Notably, only seven varieties (Kı:raç: 66, İ:kizce 96, Dinç:, Altı:ndane, Ziyabey 98, Bayraktar 2000, and Shiro) exhibited moderately resistant reactions to PSTr-27, while the remaining varieties were susceptible. The presence of nine important resistance (Yr) genes in these varieties was also screened at the molecular level. Yr5, Yr15, and Yr26 genes were not detected in any of the varieties and Yr10 and YrSP genes were each detected in only one variety, while the other genes were detected in different ratios. Molecular screening showed that 19 varieties with no resistance genes used in this study displayed susceptible reactions: however, ten varieties that did not carry any resistance genes showed resistant reactions to one or more races, suggesting the presence of unknown or novel resistance sources. Furthermore, gene combinations, particularly Yr10 + Yr18, significantly provided resistance to all Pst races studied. These findings highlight that continual monitoring of PSTr-27, and other Pst races is needed, since it can be a serious threat to wheat production in Tü:rkiye and neighboring countries.
