The most represented group of resistance genes are those of the nucleotide binding site–
leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) class. These genes are very numerous in the plant genome …

Consensus linkage maps are important tools in crop genomics. We have assembled a high‐
density tetraploid wheat consensus map by integrating 13 data sets from independent …

About 20 species of viruses belonging to five genera, Benyvirus, Furovirus, Pecluvirus,
Pomovirus and Bymovirus, are known to be transmitted by plasmodiophorids. These viruses …

Fruit quality traits are major breeding targets in the Rosaceae. Several of the major
Rosaceae species are current or ancient polyploids. To dissect the inheritance of fruit quality …

Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) and Soil-borne cereal mosaic virus (SBCMV),
genus Furovirus, family Virgaviridae, cause significant crop losses in cereals. The viruses …

Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, the causative agent of stem rust in wheat, is a devastating
disease of durum wheat. While more than 50 stem rust resistance (Sr) loci have been …

Diversity array technology (DArT) markers are largely used for mapping, genetic diversity,
and association mapping studies. For years, they have been used as anonymous genomic …

Wheat improvement has traditionally been conducted by relying on artificial crossing of
suitable parental lines followed by selection of the best genetic combinations. At the same …

Key message Using association and linkage mapping, two SNP markers closely linked to
the SBWMV resistance gene on chromosome 5D were identified and can be used to select …

Infection by the Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (JSBWMV) can lead to substantial
losses in the grain yield of barley and wheat crops. While genetically based resistance to …
