Abstract	Summary: Development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars resistant to Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) that remain productive in the absence of the disease would benefit wheat growers. A wheat germplasm (KS93WGRC27) carrying a Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth and Dewey chromosome 4J(s) translocation conferring WSMV resistance was used to develop spring wheat populations segregating for WSMV resistance. Four populations, consisting of a total of 22 translocation-positive (WSMV-resistant), 36 translocation-negative (WSMV-susceptible), and eight parental lines, were grown as a randomized complete block with three replications at Bozeman and Conrad, MT, in 1998 and 1999. Treatments were arranged as a split plot with populations as main plots and progeny and parents as subplots. The agronomic performance of resistant and susceptible lines was compared under inoculated and noninoculated conditions to assess the effectiveness of the WSMV resistance gene and to determine the effects of the Thinopyrum translocation in the absence of disease. A small but significant decrease in yield was observed for noninoculated resistant lines in contrast to susceptible lines. However, the yield range of resistant entries suggests that the recovery of parental yield was possible. The resistance source was highly effective in limiting virus accumulation and yield losses to WSMV, resulting in only a 5% yield reduction in resistant lines under inoculated conditions compared with 32% for susceptible lines. In all instances where WSMV was introduced to field trials, the Thinopyrum translocation provided a significant benefit for resistant lines when compared with susceptible lines. The T. intermedium translocation present in resistant lines had no detrimental effects on end-use quality or other agronomic traits
