ABSTRACT
Stem rust (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici- Pgt) disease is currently one of the major biotic constraints in wheat (Triticum aestivum) production worldwide. Access to diverse sources of genetic resistance is important in building a broad base resistance to stem rust in our commercial wheat varieties. The obejectives of this study were (i) to screen wheat genotypes from diverse origins for both seedling (SPR) and adult plant resistance (APR) to the predominant Ug99 race and its variants in Kenya, and (ii) to determine the mode and number of genes conferring resistance to TTKST race in the identified resistant lines. Screening for seedling plant resistance (SPR) was done under controlled greenhouse conditions while screening for adult plant resistance (APR) was done in the field at KALRONjoro, Kenya during 2012 and 2013 wheat growing seasons. Selection for APR was based on area under disease progress curve (AUDPC,
