Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food for about 40% of the world's population. As the
global population has grown and living standards improved, high yield and improved …

First described in Europe in 1777, stripe rust (SR) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f.
sp. tritici Erikss (Pst) is one of the most important and destructive diseases of wheat …

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 …

Yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a devastating fungal disease
threatening much of global wheat production. Race-specific resistance (R)-genes are used …

We investigated whether the recent worldwide epidemics of wheat yellow rust were driven
by races of few clonal lineage (s) or populations of divergent races. Race phenoty** of …

Canada is one of the largest wheat producers in the world, and wheat is grown over an area
spanning most of the southern latitudes, with the prairie region (provinces of Saskatchewan …

Use of genetic diversity from related wild and domesticated species has made a significant
contribution to improving wheat productivity. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs) exhibit …

Cereal rusts, caused by obligate and biotrophic fungi in the genus Puccinia, are important
diseases that threaten world food security. With the recent discovery of alternate hosts for the …

Stripe rust is best controlled by utilizing genetic resistance. Resistance to stripe rust has
been studied for more than a century, but most progresses have been made during the last …

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici causes stripe rust (yellow rust) of wheat and is highly variable
in virulence toward wheat with race-specific resistance. During 2010, wheat stripe rust was …
