Powdery mildew, net blotch, scald, spot blotch, barley stripe, and leaf rust are important foliar
fungal pathogens of barley. Fungal leaf pathogens negatively affect the yield and quality in …

Vast collections of barley germplasm have been established and conserved in various
global gene banks. These collections hold tremendous genetic diversity for resistance …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is one of the most widespread and damaging foliar
diseases affecting barley. The barley leaf rust resistance locus Rph7 has been shown to …

We assembled an international barley panel comprising 282 entries from 26 countries with
various levels of field resistance to leaf rust caused by Puccinia hordei. The panel was …

Improving resistance to barley leaf rust (caused by Puccinia hordei) is an important breeding
objective in most barley growing regions worldwide. The development and subsequent …

Whole-grain cereals, including wheat, barley, oat, rye, corn, rice, millet, and triticale, are a
rich source of calories, essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that both nourish …

Key message Selection over 70 years has led to almost complete fixation of a haplotype
spanning~ 250 Mbp of chomosome 5H in European two-rowed spring barleys, possibly …

Optimized inoculation procedures are an important consideration in achieving repeatable
plant infection when working with biotrophic rust fungi. Several plant pathology laboratories …

Breeding for adult plant resistance (APR) is currently impeded by the low frequency of
annual field‐based testing and variable environmental conditions. We developed and …

Leaf rust of barley causes significant losses in crops of susceptible cultivars. Deploying host
resistance is the most cost-effective and eco-sustainable strategy to protect the harvest …
