Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. The production and productivity
of wheat is adversely affected by several diseases including leaf rust, which can cause yield …

Marker‐assisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to introgress/pyramid
genes of interest into breeding lines and to identify genes and/or quantitative trait loci in …

Wheat stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, afflicts bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum). New virulent races collectively referred to as “Ug99” have emerged …

Abstract The locus Lr34/Yr18/Pm38 confers partial and durable resistance against the
devastating fungal pathogens leaf rust, stripe rust, and powdery mildew. In previous studies …

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici is a major disease of wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) that can be controlled by resistance breeding. The CIMMYT bread …

Quantitative adult plant resistance (APR) to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) is an
important breeding target in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and a potential target for genomic …

Leaf rust is an important disease, threatening wheat production annually. Identification of
resistance genes or QTLs for effective field resistance could greatly enhance our ability to …

The Lr34/Yr18 adult plant resistance gene contributes significantly to durable leaf rust
(caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks.) resistance. Simple and robust molecular markers that …

Many plants, both in nature and in agriculture, are resistant to multiple diseases. Although
much of the plant innate immunity system provides highly specific resistance, there is …

Wheat is one of the main sources of calories and protein of the world's population and
therefore the pathogens that cause rust diseases of the crop are a real threat to food …
