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…

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 …

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 …

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

The wild relatives and progenitors of wheat have been widely used as sources of disease
resistance (R) genes. Molecular identification and characterization of these R genes facilitates …

Wheat and Barley is the most production and consumption grains in the world. The necrotrophic
Fusarium spp is pathogen caused many diseases on plants, the major two disease …

To safeguard bread wheat against pests and diseases, breeders have introduced over 200
resistance genes into its genome, thus nearly doubling the number of designated resistance …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is a devastating fungal disease affecting barley (Hordeum
vulgare subsp. vulgare) production globally. Despite the effectiveness of genetic …

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

Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a major biotic constraint to wheat
production worldwide. Disease resistant cultivars are a sustainable means for the efficient …
