A genome-wide association study of resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) in a worldwide collection of hexaploid spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
New races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causal pathogen of wheat stripe rust,
show high virulence to previously deployed resistance genes and are responsible for large …
