Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is one of the major constraints to durum wheat
production. It is globally distributed with different race structures that continuously evolve and form novel
virulent races. Growing resistant cultivars represent the most effective way of controlling rust diseases in
wheat. In this paper we report a summary about the leaf rust genes (Lr), the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and
signiicant regions detected in tetraploid wheat
