Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

As there are numerous pathogen species that cause disease and limit yields of crops, such
as wheat (Triticum aestivum), single genes that provide resistance to multiple pathogens are …

Key message We developed and validated a robust marker toolkit for high-throughput and
cost-effective screening of a large number of functional genes in wheat. Abstract Functional …

Identification of causal mutations in barley and wheat is hampered by their large genomes
and suppressed recombination. To overcome these obstacles, we have developed …

The use of molecular markers has revolutionized the pace and precision of plant genetic
analysis which in turn facilitated the implementation of molecular breeding of crops. The last …

Advances in molecular biology including genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and
genome editing enable increasingly faster and more precise cultivar development …

Wheat stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, afflicts bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum). New virulent races collectively referred to as “Ug99” have emerged …

New races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causal pathogen of wheat stripe rust,
show high virulence to previously deployed resistance genes and are responsible for large …

High-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance expresses when plants grow old and the
weather becomes warm. This non-race specific and durable type of resistance has been …
