Abstract
Wheat is an important cereal crop and cultivated for staple food across the globe. Wheat germplasm resources show huge diversity for important fungal disease and lodging, which provides a valuable resource for gene introgression and trait improvement in elite cultivars. In the present study biparental wheat populations (F4 segregants) were evaluated for fungal disease and lodging under the climatic conditions of Mansehra. Interestingly, the F4 segregants showed a wide range of variability for fungal disease and lodging, suggesting the presence of multiple genes controlling these traits. These segregants can be used as source material in the regional wheat breeding programs. Based on above results the lines F4-2-71 and F4-5-44 depicted resistance (R) to yellow rust, check variety Fahim-19, F4-2-71, F4-1-5 were found resistant to powdery mildew while genotypes F4-4-9(0), F4-4-23(0),F4-4-29(0), F4-4-64(0), F4-4-15(0), F4-8-6(0), F4-8-24(0), F4-8-03(0), F4-11-03(0), Fateh Jhang(0), F4-1-31(0) expressed lodging resistant. These lines performed better, which could be further exploited for improvement in yellow rust, powdery mildew and lodging resistance
