Roots are the interface between the plant and the soil and play a central role in multiple
ecosystem processes. With intensification of agricultural practices, rhizosphere processes …

Over the last decade, remarkable progress has been made in our understanding the
phytohormones, cytokinin's (CKs) biosynthesis, perception, and signalling pathways …

Abstract Even though Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) have
been found in every sequenced plant genome, a comprehensive understanding of their …

Pangenomes are collections of annotated genome sequences of multiple individuals of a
species. The structural variants uncovered by these datasets are a major asset to genetic …

Crop losses caused by plant pathogens are a primary threat to stable food production. Stripe
rust (Puccinia striiformis) is a fungal pathogen of cereal crops that causes significant …

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLRs) immune receptors directly or indirectly
recognize pathogen-secreted effector molecules to initiate plant defense. Recognition of …

The wheat Lr34res allele, coding for an ATP‐binding cassette transporter, confers durable
resistance against multiple fungal pathogens. The Lr34sus allele, differing from Lr34res by …

Background Despite wheat being a worldwide staple, it is still considered the most difficult to
transform out of the main cereal crops. Therefore, for the wheat research community, a freely …

Leaf and floral tissue degeneration is a common feature in plants. In cereal crops such as
barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), pre-anthesis tip degeneration (PTD) starts with growth arrest of …

Rust fungi are destructive plant pathogens. The draft genomes of several wheat‐infecting
species have been released and potential pathogenicity genes identified through …
