Understanding the quantitative genetics of crops has been and will continue to be central to
maintaining and improving global food security. We outline four stages that plant breeding …

The renewed focus on cereal landraces is a response to some negative consequences of
modern agriculture and conventional breeding which led to a reduction of genetic diversity …

Gene cloning in repeat-rich polyploid genomes remains challenging. Here, we describe a
strategy for overcoming major bottlenecks in cloning of the powdery mildew resistance gene …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) incurs significant yield losses from powdery mildew, a major
fungal disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). enhanced disease resistance1 …

Head or ear blight, mainly caused by Fusarium species, can devastate almost all staple
cereal crops (particularly wheat), resulting in great economic loss and imposing health …

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most
destructive diseases that pose a great threat to wheat production. Wheat landraces …

Plants have developed effective mechanisms to recognize and respond to infections caused
by pathogens. Plant resistance gene analogs (RGAs), as resistance (R) gene candidates …

Crop wild relatives offer natural variations of disease resistance for crop improvement. Here,
we report the isolation of broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene Pm36, originated …

Powdery mildew is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat. To date, few powdery
mildew resistance genes have been cloned from wheat due to the size and complexity of the …

Powdery mildew poses severe threats to wheat production. The most sustainable way to
control this disease is through planting resistant cultivars. We report the map‐based cloning …
