Rust diseases, including leaf rust, stripe/yellow rust, and stem rust, significantly impact wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) yields, causing substantial economic losses every year. Breeding and …

Plant intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) detect pathogen
effectors to trigger immune responses. Indirect recognition of a pathogen effector by the …

Wheat is one of the most important staple foods on earth. Leaf rust, stem rust and stripe rust,
caused by Puccini triticina, Puccinia f. sp. graminis and Puccinia f. sp. striiformis …

Stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a devastating disease
of the global staple crop wheat. Although this disease was largely controlled in the latter half …

The wild relatives and progenitors of wheat have been widely used as sources of disease
resistance (R) genes. Molecular identification and characterization of these R genes …

Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), can significantly affect
wheat production. Cloning resistance genes is critical for efficient and effective breeding of …

Many resistance genes deployed against pathogens in crops are intracellular nucleotide-
binding (NB) leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs). The ability to rationally engineer …

Pathogen effectors are crucial players during plant colonisation and infection. Plant
resistance mostly relies on effector recognition to activate defence responses …

Crop breeding for durable disease resistance is challenging due to the rapid evolution of
pathogen virulence. While progress in resistance (R) gene cloning and stacking has …

A resistance gene atlas is an integral component of the breeder's arsenal in the fight against
evolving pathogens. Thanks to high‐throughput sequencing, catalogues of resistance genes …
