Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was formed~ 7500 years ago by hybridization between B.
rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as …

Higher plants utilize nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat domain proteins (NLR s) as
intracellular immune receptors to recognize pathogen‐derived effectors and trigger a robust …

Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by~ 25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global
food security. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be selected …

Disease resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)
intracellular immune receptor proteins detect pathogens by the presence of pathogen …

One of most important challenges in plant breeding is improving resistance to the plethora of
pathogens that threaten our crops. The ever-growing world population, changing pathogen …
