This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Five additional virulence patterns were found but not named. Sixteen wheat lines with single with single genes for leaf rust resistance were inoculated with 87 isolates. Virulence to genes Lr2c, Lr14a, Lr14b, Lr21, Lr17, and Lr3 was nearly universal, at 95, 92, 91, 91, 87, and 84%, respectively. Unified numeration race 13 (virulent to Lr1, Lr2a, Lr2c, and Lr3) was the most common race in China
