Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Plants have evolved an array of defenses against pathogens. However, mounting a defense
response frequently comes with the cost of a reduction in growth and reproduction, carrying …

Gene cloning in repeat-rich polyploid genomes remains challenging. Here, we describe a
strategy for overcoming major bottlenecks in cloning of the powdery mildew resistance gene …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) incurs significant yield losses from powdery mildew, a major
fungal disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). enhanced disease resistance1 …

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most
destructive diseases that pose a great threat to wheat production. Wheat landraces …

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus Exserohilum turcicum
is an important foliar disease of maize that is mainly controlled by growing resistant maize …

Pm1a, the first powdery mildew resistance gene described in wheat, is part of a complex
resistance (R) gene cluster located in a distal region of chromosome 7AL that has …

Powdery mildew poses severe threats to wheat production. The most sustainable way to
control this disease is through planting resistant cultivars. We report the map‐based cloning …

Powdery mildew is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat. To date, few powdery
mildew resistance genes have been cloned from wheat due to the size and complexity of the …

Crop wild relatives offer natural variations of disease resistance for crop improvement. Here,
we report the isolation of broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene Pm36, originated …
