In their natural environment, plants are exposed to biotic or abiotic stresses that occur
sequentially or simultaneously. Plant responses to these stresses have been studied widely …

Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by P uccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (P st), is a serious disease of
wheat occurring in most wheat areas with cool and moist weather conditions during the …

Stripe rust is a devastating fungal disease that afflicts wheat in many regions of the world.
New races of Puccinia striiformis, the pathogen responsible for this disease, have overcome …

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 …

Quantitative resistance (QR) refers to a resistance that is phenotypically incomplete and is
based on the joined effect of several genes, each contributing quantitatively to the level of …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) provides opportunities for enhancing the response from
selection because molecular markers can be applied at the seedling stage, with high …

Incorporation of genetic diversity into elite wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n= 6x= 42,
AABBDD) cultivars has long been recognized as a means of improving wheat productivity …

Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) has been observed within many crop plants but is not
as well understood as qualitative (monogenic) disease resistance and has not been used as …

Although quantitative resistance loci provide partial and durable resistance to a range of
pathogen species in different crops, the molecular mechanism of quantitative disease …

Climate change will probably influence the occurrence, prevalence and severity of plant
diseases. This will also affect disease management with regard to timing, preference and …
