Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is one of the most widespread and damaging foliar
diseases affecting barley. The barley leaf rust resistance locus Rph7 has been shown to …

Unraveling and exploiting mechanisms of disease resistance in cereal crops is currently
limited by their large repeat-rich genomes and the lack of genetic recombination or cultivar …

Global food security depends on cereal crops with durable disease resistance. Most cereals
are colonized by rust fungi, which are pathogens of major significance for global agriculture …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is an economically significant disease of barley, but
only a few major resistance genes to P. hordei (Rph) have been cloned. In this study, gene …

Background Leaf rust, caused by the biotrophic fungal pathogen Puccinia hordei, is one of
the most important foliar disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and represents a serious …

Stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici; Pgt) is a devastating fungal disease of wheat and
barley. Pgt race TTKSK (isolate Ug99) is a serious threat to these Triticeae grain crops …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is a devastating fungal disease affecting barley
(Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare) production globally. Despite the effectiveness of genetic …

Background A large number of disease resistance genes or QTLs in crop plants are
identified through conventional genetics and genomic tools, but their functional or molecular …

Resistance expressed by plants against different rust pathogens is a unique and a very well-
coordinated process. The defense responsive genes are the performers of such responses …

Abstract Gene-for-gene (GFG) resistance is a potent defense mechanism in plants, that is
mediated by resistance (R) proteins. In GFG resistance, pathogen effector or avirulence (Avr) …
