MISR 1 AND MISR 2: TWO NEW, HIGH YIELDING AND RUST RESISTANT BREAD WHEAT CULTIVARS

Abstract
Two newly bread wheat cultivars Misr 1 and Misr 2 were selected from CIMMYT wheat genotypes as resistant to stem rust specially the race Ug 99. Grain yield and rust resistance evaluation was performed through preliminary, advanced and varietal verification started in 2009/2010 through 2012/2013 growing seasons, compared to the check bread wheat cultivated cultivars. The results reveled that the grain yield of Misr 1 and Misr 2 exceeded wheat check cultivars in most of the tested locations. Generally, the new cultivars mean grain yield exceeded all the check cultivars means in preliminary, advanced and varietal verification yield trials and have high stable parameters allover the wheat cultivated areas. Testing the two new cultivars for stem and yellow rusts reaction, in the hot spots in Egypt, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia, indicated their resistance to stem and yellow rusts. Thus they could be highly recommended to be grown all over Egypt.
