Genome-wide association mapping for resistance to leaf rust, stripe rust and tan spot in wheat reveals potential candidate genes
(Springer, 2018)
Leaf rust (LR), stripe rust (YR) and tan spot (TS) are some of the important foliar diseases in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To identify candidate resistance genes for these diseases in CIMMYT?s (International Maize and ...
Article
Characterization and mapping of Leaf Rust and Stripe Rust resistance loci in hexaploid wheat lines UC1110 and PI610750 under Mexican environments
(Frontiers, 2017)
Growing resistant wheat varieties is a key method of minimizing the extent of yield losses caused by the globally important wheat leaf rust (LR) and stripe rust (YR) diseases. In this study, a population of 186 F8 recombinant ...
Article
Identification of genomic associations for adult plant resistance in the background of popular South Asian wheat cultivar, PBW343
(Frontiers, 2016)
Rusts, a fungal disease as old as its host plant wheat, has caused havoc for over 8000 years. As the rust pathogens can evolve into new virulent races which quickly defeat the resistance that primarily rely on race ...

Resistencia parcial y específica a roya del tallo en la línea avanzada de trigo harinero ‘Kijil’
(Sociedad Mexicana de Fitogenética, 2019)
El hongo Puccina graminis f. sp. tritici es el agente causal de la roya del tallo del trigo (Triticum aestivum), éste puede causar pérdidas del rendimiento hasta de 40 % en variedades susceptibles, además puede mutar y ...
Article
Genetics and breeding for durable resistance to leaf and stripe rusts in wheat
(The Scientific and Technology Research Council of Turkey, 2005)
Yellow (or stripe) and leaf (or brown) rusts, caused by Puccinia striiformis and P. triticina, respectively, are important diseases of wheat worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars is the most economical and environmentally ...
Article
Harnessing diversity in wheat to enhance grain yield, climate resilience, disease and insect pest resistance and nutrition through conventional and modern breeding approaches
(Frontiers, 2016)
Current trends in population growth and consumption patterns continue to increase the demand for wheat, a key cereal for global food security. Further, multiple abiotic challenges due to climate change and evolving pathogen ...
Article
Genetic gain from phenotypic and genomic selection for quantitative resistance to stem rust of wheat
(Crop Science Society of America, 2015)
Stem rust of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Eriks. and E. Henn. is a globally important disease that can cause severe yield loss. Breeding for quantitative stem rust resistance ...
Article
Efficient use of historical data for genomic selection: a case study of stem rust resistance in wheat
(Crop Science Society of America, 2015)
Genomic selection (GS) is a methodology that can improve crop breeding efficiency. To implement GS, a training population (TP) with phenotypic and genotypic data is required to train a statistical model used to predict ...

Seedling and adult plant resistance to powdery mildew in Chinese bread wheat cultivars and lines
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2005)
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a widespread wheat disease in China. Identification of race-specific genes and adult plant resistance (APR) is of major importance in breeding for an efficient ...

Genetic analysis of partial resistance to powdery mildew in bread wheat line Saar
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2006)
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis (syn. Erysiphe graminis) f. sp. tritici, is an important disease of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) in many countries. The CIMMYT bread wheat line Saar has exhibited a high level ...
