Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. The production and productivity
of wheat is adversely affected by several diseases including leaf rust, which can cause yield …

The domestication of wheat in the Fertile Crescent 10,000 years ago led to a genetic
bottleneck. Modern agriculture has further narrowed the genetic base by introducing …

The introgression of chromosome segments from wild relatives is an established strategy to
enrich crop germplasm with disease-resistance genes. Here we use mutagenesis and …

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 …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) diseases are major factors responsible for substantial yield
losses worldwide, which affect global food security. For a long time, plant breeders have …

Powdery mildew resistance from Thinopyrum intermedium was introgressed into common
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Genetic analysis of the F 1, F 2, F 3 and BC 1 populations from …

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a very destructive wheat
(Triticum aestivum) disease. Resistance was transferred from Elytrigia intermedium to …

Stripe rust-resistant wheat introgression line CH223 was developed by crossing the resistant
partial amphiploid TAI7047 derived from Thinopyrum intermedium with susceptible cultivars …

Among several important wheat foliar diseases, Stripe rust (YR), Leaf rust (LR), and Stem
rust (SR) have always been an issue of concern to the farmers and wheat breeders …

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 …
