Title	Effect of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr28 on grain yield and bread-making quality of wheat
Journal	Plant Breeding
Year	2004
Volume	123
Pages	35-38
Author	Kumar AA Raghavaiah P
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
