Abstract
Summary: Near-isogenic lines carrying the Lr28 gene developed in five genetic backgrounds were tested for 2 years with and without fungicide treatment. The Lr28 gene increased grain yield, 1000-grain weight and number of effective tillers per plant under heavy leaf rust infection with no negative effects on yield and bread-making quality in rust-free plots. Although a reduction in dough development time was found to be associated with Lr28, it can still be used extensively in wheat breeding programmes
