INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Wild relatives of domesticated crop species harbor multiple, diverse, disease resistance (R)
genes that could be used to engineer sustainable disease control. However, breeding R …

RenSeq is a NB ‐ LRR (nucleotide binding‐site leucine‐rich repeat) gene‐targeted,
Resistance gene enrichment and sequencing method that enables discovery and annotation of …

Carbohydrates are important macronutrients in human and rodent diet patterns that play a
key role in crucial metabolic pathways and provide the necessary energy for proper body …

… Kamil Witek and Jonathan DG Jones have filed a US patent application 62/159,240
based on this work. Matthew D. Clark owns shares in Pacific Biosciences of California. …

Infectious disease is both a major force of selection in nature and a prime cause of yield loss
in agriculture. In plants, disease resistance is often conferred by nucleotide-binding leucine-…

Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a destructive
disease of wheat throughout the world. One of the most important environmental-friendly and …

The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of salicylic acid (SA) signalling in Ny-1-mediated
hypersensitive resistance (HR) of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to Potato virus Y (…

Background The availability of draft crop plant genomes allows the prediction of the full
complement of genes that encode NB-LRR resistance gene homologs, enabling a more targeted …

Disease resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)
intracellular immune receptor proteins detect pathogens by the presence of pathogen effectors. …
