Bulk segregation analysis (BSA) utilizes a strategy of pooling individuals with extreme
phenotypes to conduct economical and rapidly linked marker screening or quantitative trait …

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 …

Pm1a, the first powdery mildew resistance gene described in wheat, is part of a complex
resistance (R) gene cluster located in a distal region of chromosome 7AL that has …

Reference datasets are critical in computational biology. They help define canonical
biological features and are essential for benchmarking studies. Here, we describe a …

Crop wild relatives offer natural variations of disease resistance for crop improvement. Here,
we report the isolation of broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene Pm36, originated …

Powdery mildew, a fungal disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), has a
serious impact on wheat production. Loss of resistance in cultivars prompts a continuing …

Many disease resistance genes have been introgressed into wheat from its wild relatives.
However, reduced recombination within the introgressed segments hinders the cloning of …
