Twelve synthesized ainphiplonds involving Karnal bunt ( Neovossia indica )‐resisiant accessions of Triticum monococum , T. boeoticum and Aegilops sqiwrrosa and susceptible but otherwise well adapted and high yielding T. Durum cultiviars were evaluated for Karnal bunt resisiance under artificial inoculation conditions. All ihe synthetic amphiploids, except DWI. 5031 x T. monocoirtum aniphlploid, were free from Karnal bunt disease indicating that the Karnal bunt resistance or T. motsococcum, T. boeoticMrn and Ae, squarrosa is expressec in the presence of the dnrum complement. The importance and utilization of the amphiploids fox breeding wheat varieties resistant to karnal bunt are discussed.
