The Q gene is largely responsible for the widespread cultivation of wheat because it confers
the free-threshing character. It also pleiotropically influences many other domestication-…

We report the map-based cloning of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr21, previously mapped
to a generich region at the distal end of chromosome arm 1DS of bread wheat (Triticum …

Plant disease resistance is often conferred by genes with nucleotide binding site (NBS) and
leucine-rich repeat (LRR) or serine/threonine protein kinase (S/TPK) domains. Much less is …

We investigated the composition and the basis of genome expansion in the core Triticeae
genome using Aegilops tauschii, the D‐genome donor of bread wheat. We sequenced an …

The Q locus played a major role in the domestication of wheat because it confers the free-threshing
character and influences many other agronomically important traits. We constructed …

Three members of the Puccinia genus, Pucciniatriticina (Pt), P. striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst),
and P. graminis f.sp. tritici (Pgt), cause the most common and often most significant foliar …

Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) is a newly discovered virus found infecting wheat (Triticum
aestivum) in Kansas. This study was conducted to determine if the wheat curl mite (WCM, Aceria …

In 2006, a mechanically-transmissible and previously uncharacterized virus was isolated in
Kansas from wheat plants with mosaic symptoms. The physiochemical properties of the virus …

The Lr34/Yr18 resistance gene provides durable, adult-plant, slow rusting resistance to leaf
rust, yellow rust, and several other diseases of wheat. Flag leaves may exhibit spontaneous …

Wheat leaf rust, caused by the basidiomycete Puccinia triticina, can cause yield losses of up
to 20% in wheat producing regions. During infection, the fungus forms haustoria that secrete …
