Wheat is an important source of dietary protein and daily calories for majority of the world's
population. Although several pests and diseases affect yield potential and quality, the three …

The re-emergence of stem rust on wheat in Europe and Africa is reinforcing the ongoing
need for durable resistance gene deployment. Here, we isolate from wheat, Sr26 and Sr61 …

Distant hybridizations are important for developing common wheat germplasm. Thinopyrum
ponticum (2 n= 10 x= 70), which is a wild relative of wheat, has numerous advantages for …

Key message A novel Ug99-resistant wheat–Thinopyrum ponticum translocation line was
produced, its chromosomal composition was analyzed and specific markers were …

Wild wheat species Aegilops peregrina (UpUpSpSp), harbours resistance to various
diseases including leaf rust and stripe rust. Inheritance studies in a recombinant inbred line …

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an important gene donor for wheat improvement because of its
many valuable traits, especially disease resistance. Development of novel wheat-rye …

Previous studies showed that Australian wheat cultivars Janz and Sunco carry leaf rust and
stem rust resistance genes Lr24 and Sr24 derived from Thinopyrum ponticum chromosome …

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive
diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Xiaoyan 78829, a partial amphidiploid …

Most rust resistance genes thus far isolated from wheat have a very limited number of
functional alleles. Here, we report the isolation of most of the alleles at wheat stem rust …

Abstract Thinopyrum intermedium (2n= 6x= 42, JJJ s J s StSt) has been hybridized
extensively with common wheat and has proven to be a valuable germplasm source for …
