Aegilops tauschii Coss., the D-genome progenitor of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) includes two subspecies, tauschii and strangulata (Eig) Tzvel. Subspecies tauschii has a wide geographic distribution spreading westwards to Turkey and eastwards to Afghanistan and China, while ssp. strangulata has a narrower distribution occurring only in two disjoined regions, southeastern Caspian Iran and Transcaucasia. A collection of 56 Ae. tauschii accessions was screened at adult stage against a mixture of pathotypes of stripe rust prevalent in the current wheat production in China. The results for three crop seasons indicated that among the 38 ssp. tauschii accessions, 37 were susceptible and only one was resistant, while all the 18 ssp. strangulata accessions were resistant. These results indicated that stripe rust resistance was related to taxonomic origin. Further genetic analysis revealed the resistance of stripe rust in ssp. strangulata accession AS2388 was conferred by a single dominant gene.
