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 …

Increasing crop production is necessary to feed the world's expanding population, and crop
breeders often utilize genetic variations to improve crop yield and quality. However, the …

Perception of pathogenic effectors in plants often relies on nucleotide-binding domain (NBS)
and leucine-rich-repeat-containing (NLR) proteins. Some NLRs contain additional domains …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major staple food crop worldwide. Genetic dissection of
important agronomic traits is essential for continuous improvement of wheat yield to meet the …

Durable crop disease resistance is an essential component of global food security.
Continuous pathogen evolution leads to a breakdown of resistance and there is a pressing …

Recent progress in large-scale sequencing, genomics, and rapid gene isolation techniques

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 …

The wheat wild relative Aegilops tauschii was previously used to transfer the Lr42 leaf rust
resistance gene into bread wheat. Lr42 confers resistance at both seedling and adult stages …

Wheat is a crop of historical significance, as it marks the turning point of human civilization
10,000 years ago with its domestication. Due to the rapid increase in population, wheat …
