Plant intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) detect pathogen
effectors to trigger immune responses. Indirect recognition of a pathogen effector by the …

Wheat accounts for 19% of the total production of major cereal crops in the world. In view of
ever increasing population and demand for global food production, there is an imperative …

Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives could be used to engineer broad-spectrum
resistance in domesticated crops. We combined association genetics with R gene …

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 …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have allowed the discovery of marker–trait
associations in crops over recent decades. However, their power is hampered by a number …

Boron (B) is an important micronutrient required for the normal growth and development of
plants. However, its excess in the soil causes severe damage to plant tissues, which affects …

Fungal diseases are among the most devastating biotic stresses and often cause significant
losses in wheat production worldwide. A set of 173 synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) …

Key message The powdery mildew resistance gene Pm58 was traced to a 141.3-kb interval
with the co-segregating marker Xkasp68500 in wheat breeding. Abstract Pm58 is a powdery …

We utilized 2300 wheat accessions including worldwide landraces, cultivars and primary
synthetic-derived germplasm with three Australian cultivars: Annuello, Yitpi and Correll, to …

Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a major disease of wheat. In
Kenya, Pgt has caused sporadic but serious losses to farmers since large-scale wheat …
