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 …

Key message SNP-based genome scanning in worldwide domesticated emmer germplasm
showed high genetic diversity, rapid linkage disequilibrium decay and 51 loci for stripe rust …

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 …

Key message High-throughput SNP array analysis of pooled extreme phenotypes in a
segregating population by KASP marker genotyping permitted rapid, cost-effective location …

Key message A new adult plant stripe rust resistance gene, Yr80, was identified in a
common wheat landrace Aus27284. Linked markers were developed and validated for their …

Key message Combined with BSE-Seq analysis and multiple genetic populations, three
genes involved in stripe rust resistance were identified in Chinese wheat landrace …

Stripe rust disease is caused by the fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici and severely
threatens wheat worldwide, repeatedly breaking resistance conferred by resistance genes …

The three rusts are the most damaging diseases of wheat worldwide and continue to pose a
threat to global food security. In the recent decades, stem rust races belonging to the Ug99 …

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 …

The incorporation of resistance genes into wheat commercial varieties is the ideal strategy to
combat stripe or yellow rust (YR). In a search for novel resistance genes, we performed a …
