Background Yellow or stripe rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is
an important disease of wheat that threatens wheat production. Since developing resistant …

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is the causative agent of wheat stripe rust, which can lead
to a significant loss in annual wheat yields. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a deeper …

Hundreds of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been reported in diverse types of hexaploid
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) populations, but direct comparisons of QTLs in different studies …

In the face of evolving agricultural practices and climate change, tools towards an integrated
biovigilance platform to combat crop diseases, spore sampling, DNA diagnostics and …

Key message An adult plant gene for resistance to stripe rust was narrowed down to the
proximal one-third of the 2NvS segment translocated from Aegilops ventricosa to wheat …

Some previous studies have assessed the predictive ability of genome-wide selection on
stripe (yellow) rust resistance in wheat, but the effect of genotype by environment interaction …

Pyramiding multiple resistant genes has been proposed as the most effective way to control
wheat rust diseases globally. Identifying the most effective pyramids is challenged by the …

The culms of solid-stemmed wheat cultivars are filled with “pith”–a parenchymatous tissue
largely composed of soft, spongy, and compact parenchyma cells. Breeding solid-stemmed …

Cereal rust diseases are caused by Puccinia spp. urediniospores that travel by air currents
to cause losses in wheat, oat, barley, and rye. In western Canada, inoculum can arrive from …
