Wheat is grown worldwide in diverse geographical regions, environments, and production
systems. Although many diseases and pests are known to reduce grain yield potential and …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most common rust disease of wheat. The fungus
is an obligate parasite capable of producing infectious urediniospores as long as infected …

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 …

Race Ug99, or TTKSK, of fungus Puccinia graminis tritici, causing stem or black rust disease
on wheat (Triticum aestivum), first identified in Uganda in 1998 has been recognized as a …

Rust diseases continuously threaten global wheat production: stem rust, leaf rust, and yellow
rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia triticina, and Puccinia striiformis f. sp …

Wheat expressed sequence tags (wESTs) were identified in a genomic interval predicted to
span the Lr34/Yr18 slow rusting region on chromosome 7DS and that corresponded to …

The common wheat cultivar Parula possesses a high level of slow rusting, adult plant
resistance (APR) to all three rust diseases of wheat. Previous map** studies using an …

The common wheat genotype 'RL6077'was believed to carry the gene Lr34/Yr18 that
confers slow-rusting adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust and stripe rust but located to a …

Rust diseases continue to cause significant losses to wheat production worldwide. Although
the life of effective race-specific resistance genes can be prolonged by using gene …

Leaf and stripe rusts, caused by Puccinia triticina and P. striiformis, respectively, are globally
important fungal diseases of wheat that cause significant annual yield losses. A gene that …
