This paper reviews current knowledge about genes for resistance to Septoria tritici blotch
(STB) of wheat, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (formerly Mycosphaerella graminicola). These …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with a large genome (16000 Mb) and high proportion (∼ 80%)
of repetitive sequences, has been a difficult crop for genomics research. However, the …

Durum wheat landraces have huge potential for the identification of genetic factors valuable
for improving resistance to biotic stresses. Tunisia is known as a hot spot for Septoria tritici …

Incorporation of genetic diversity into elite wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n= 6x= 42,
AABBDD) cultivars has long been recognized as a means of improving wheat productivity …

Aegilops species have significantly contributed to wheat breeding despite the difficulties
involved in the handling of wild species, such as crossability and incompatibility. A number …

Specific resistances to isolates of the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola,
which causes Septoria tritici blotch of wheat, have been detected in many cultivars. Cvs …

In spite of more than 200 years of botanical exploration of the Orient, resulting in many
herbaria and germplasm collections, sequence data, and transferred alleles, our knowledge …

Wild crop relatives have been playing enormously important roles both in the depiction of
plant genomes and the genetic improvement of their cultivated counterparts. They have …

Quantitative resistance (QR) to crop diseases has usually been much more durable than
major-gene, effector-triggered resistance. It has been observed that the effectiveness of …

Synthetic hexaploid wheat (Triticum turgidum× Aegilops tauschii) was created to explore for
novel genes from T. turgidum and Ae. tauschii that can be used for common wheat …
