Summary Pathogenicity patterns of 42Mycosphaerella graminicola (Septoria tritici) isolates secured from the major wheat growing regions in Israel, were assessed on seedlings of 16 bread and durum wheats. The spring bread wheat cultivar Titan (CI12615), the winter bread wheats Bezostaya 1, Kavkaz, NE7060 and the durum wheats Nursit 163 and Zenati Bouteille, all exhibited a high level of resistance. Significant cultivar × isolate interactions were recorded for isolates from the different regions in relation to the response of the 16 cultivars organized in 6 reponse classes to the test isolate ISR8036. Number of genes for resistance in the 16 cultivars was estimated, based on the assumption of a gene-for-gene relationship. Twelve complementary genes were hypothesized in the 42M. graminicola isolates × 16 wheat cultivars matrix. There was considerable variation in virulence frequencies between regions and between locations within the same region. The overall frequency of Bezostaya-Kavkaz virulence was low throughout the country (5–7%). The frequency of designated hypothesized virulence genes VST OLAF, VST COLOTANA, VST IAS 20 in Israel, was high in most locations. The reported analytical approach enables the identification of virulence hot-spots and assists in designing breeding for resistance strategies.
