Multiple endopeptidases as biochemical marker for resistance of winter wheat to Pseudocercosporella herpotnchoides (Fron) Deighton. Electrophoretic patterns of primary leaf endopeptidases in breeding material derived from crosses between different winter wheat genotypes and amphidiploids (Triticum turgidum×Aegilops ventricosa) were compared with those of cultivars susceptible to Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides. The results indicate that the multiple endopeptidase EP-1 coded by Wheat chromosome 7 D is absent in the international known lines ‘VPM 1’ and ‘Roazon’ and in all 24 winter wheat selections with increased resistance to P. herpotrichoides.A close relationship between the absence of EP-1 and the introduction of Aegilops ventricosa resistance is assumed. The use of this biochemical marker in wheat breeding is proposed.
