Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

First described in Europe in 1777, stripe rust (SR) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f.
sp. tritici Erikss (Pst) is one of the most important and destructive diseases of wheat …

Key message Adult-plant stripe rust resistance gene Yr86 in Chinese wheat cultivar
Zhongmai 895 was mapped to the physical interval 710.2–713.2 Mb on the long arm of …

Height is an important trait related to plant architecture and yield potential in bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.). We previously identified a major quantitative trait locus QPH. caas-6A …

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 …

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 …

Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) causes the reduction, but not absence, of disease,
and is a major type of disease resistance for many crop species. QDR results in a …

Key message We found two loci on chromosomes 2BS and 6AL that significantly contribute
to stripe rust resistance in current European winter wheat germplasm. Abstract Stripe or …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major staple food and therefore of prime importance for
feeding the Earth's growing population. Mycorrhiza is known to improve plant growth, but …

Key message This study validated one QTL for adult plant resistance to stripe rust, identified
donor lines of the resistance allele, and demonstrated that it is different from previously …
