Marker‐assisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to introgress/pyramid
genes of interest into breeding lines and to identify genes and/or quantitative trait loci in …

Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is of worldwide concern for wheat
producers. The disease has been an annual problem for Canadian wheat producers since …

Key message This consensus map of stem rust genes, QTLs, and molecular markers will
facilitate the identification of new resistance genes and provide a resource of in formation for …

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis, can be controlled by growing resistant cultivars,
applying fungicides and through some cultural practices. As developing and growing …

Stripe rust is best controlled by utilizing genetic resistance. Resistance to stripe rust has
been studied for more than a century, but most progresses have been made during the last …

We combined the recently developed genotyping by sequencing (GBS) method with joint
mapping (also known as nested association mapping) to dissect and understand the genetic …

Virulence shifts in populations of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causal pathogen of
wheat stripe rust, are a major challenge to resistance breeding. The majority of known …

Advancement in the field of genetics and genomics after the discovery of Mendel's laws of
inheritance has led to map the genes controlling qualitative and quantitative traits in crop …

This review paper presents the history of rust resistance breeding and deployment of
resistant cultivars in different geographical areas of India. Much has been accomplished in …

Key message Here, we describe a strategy to improve broad-spectrum leaf rust resistance
by marker-assisted combination of two partial resistance genes. One of them represents a …
