The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

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 …

The domestication of wild emmer wheat led to the selection of modern durum wheat, grown
mainly for pasta production. We describe the 10.45 gigabase (Gb) assembly of the genome …

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 …

Effective crop protection is vital to safeguard food security, but growers are reliant on a
limited toolbox in the face of diverse and evolving pathogens. New crop protection methods …

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 …

Background Continuous transformation and development of new detection tools for bacteria
has converted the laborious scientific work into smart apparatus in recent years. The journey …

Stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a devastating disease
of the global staple crop wheat. Although this disease was largely controlled in the latter half …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Wheat productivity is threatened by global climate change. In several parts of NW Europe it
will get warmer and dryer during the main crop growing period. The resulting likely lower …
