Summary
Septoria leaf blotch of wheat, has caused severe epidemics in the late sixties, initiating breeding programs. However, breeding for resistance has not always been successful as suitable sources of resistance are not plentiful. Furthermore, cultivars reported to be resistant in one country, may sometimes succumb to septoria tritici populations in another. Expression of resistance has been shown to be correlated with morphological traits like plant height and canopy structure and especially earliness interferes with a good assessment of resistance. Sources of resistance to S. tritici have been identified and utilised in several parts of the world.
