Aegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D subgenome of bread wheat, is a reservoir
of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and environmental resilience…

Barley is cultivated both in highly productive agricultural systems and also in marginal and
subsistence environments. Its distribution is worldwide and is of considerable economic …

Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives could be used to engineer broad-spectrum
resistance in domesticated crops. We combined association genetics with R gene …

The genomes of five Cochliobolus heterostrophus strains, two Cochliobolus sativus strains,
three additional Cochliobolus species (Cochliobolus victoriae, Cochliobolus carbonum, …

Spot blotch, caused by Cochliobolus sativus, is an important foliar disease of barley. The
disease has been controlled for over 40 years through the deployment of cultivars with durable …

Spot blotch, caused by the fungal pathogen Cochliobolus sativus, is an important disease of
barley in many production areas of the world. To assess genetic diversity in this pathogen, a …

Breeding wheat with durable resistance to the fungal pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici
(Pgt), a major threat to cereal production, is challenging due to the rapid evolution of …

Spot blotch, caused by Cochliobolus sativus, is a common foliar disease of barley that is
controlled primarily through the deployment of resistant cultivars. Resistance is often assessed …

In many regions of the world, wheat is vulnerable to severe yield and quality losses from the
fungus disease of Fusarium head blight (FHB). The development of resistant cultivars is one …

Parasexuality contributes to diversity and adaptive evolution of haploid (monokaryotic) fungi.
However, non-sexual genetic exchange mechanisms are not defined in dikaryotic fungi (…
