Secondary metabolites in plants have been recognized as a novel basis of potential bio-
pesticides, paving the way for their use in sustainable agriculture. Plant secondary …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

The discovery and application of genome editing introduced a new era of plant breeding by
giving researchers efficient tools for the precise engineering of crop genomes. Here we …

Plants have many, highly variable resistance (R) gene loci, which provide resistance to a
variety of pathogens. The first R gene to be cloned, maize (Zea mays) Hm1, was published …

Wheat is one of the primary staple foods throughout the planet. Significant yield gains in
wheat production over the past 40 years have resulted in a steady balance of supply versus …

Gene cloning in repeat-rich polyploid genomes remains challenging. Here, we describe a
strategy for overcoming major bottlenecks in cloning of the powdery mildew resistance gene …

Rice feeds half the world's population, and rice blast is often a destructive disease that
results in significant crop loss. Non-race-specific resistance has been more effective in …

Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to
global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food for about 40% of the world's population. As the
global population has grown and living standards improved, high yield and improved …

As there are numerous pathogen species that cause disease and limit yields of crops, such
as wheat (Triticum aestivum), single genes that provide resistance to multiple pathogens are …
