A robust KASP marker for selection of four pairs of linked leaf rust and stri...
Stripe rust and leaf rust are among the most devastating diseases of wheat, limiting its production globally. Wheat wild relatives harbour genetic diversity for new genes and... -
Harnessing Wheat Fhb1 for Fusarium Resistance
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, is an economically devastating disease of wheat worldwide. Fhb1, a widely used genetic source of FHB... -
Aegilops umbellulata introgression carrying leaf rust and stripe rust resista...
Leaf rust and stripe rust are among the most damaging diseases of wheat worldwide. Wheat cultivation based on limited number of rust resistance genes deployed over vast areas... -
Development of mlo-based resistance in tetraploid wheat against wheat powdery...
Powdery mildew is a severe disease in wheat. In barley, durable resistance exists, based on non-functionality of the Mlo gene. As a model to analyse the effects of mutagenesis... -
Generation of Loss-of-Function Mutants for Wheat Rust Disease Resistance Gene...
One of the most important tools to identify and validate rust resistance gene function is by producing loss-of-function mutants. Mutants can be produced using irradiation,... -
Physiological determinants of fertile floret survival in wheat as affected by...
Variations in wheat yield are largely explained by changes in grain number per m2 which is linked to the number of fertile florets at anthesis. This, in turn is the outcome of... -
Plant Genomics: Unlocking the Genome of Wheat’s Progenitor
The genome sequence and analysis of wheat’s progenitor provides a roadmap to enhance genomics-assisted breeding and improvement of modern wheat varieties. -
Earliness per se effects on developmental traits in hexaploid wheat grown und...
Earliness per se (Eps) genes are critical for fine-tuning flowering time and likely to modify other developmental traits as well. Effects of Eps alleles on components comprising... -
Reduced response diversity does not negatively impact wheat climate resilience
Kahiluoto et al. assert that climate resilience in European wheat has declined due to current breeding practices. To support this alarming claim, the authors report yield... -
Rapid Gene Isolation Using MutChromSeq
MutChromSeq is an approach for isolation of genes and DNA sequences controlling gene expression in plants with complex and polyploid genomes. It involves a lossless complexity... -
MutRenSeq: A Method for Rapid Cloning of Plant Disease Resistance Genes
MutRenSeq is a method to clone disease resistance (R) genes in plants. Tips and detailed experimental protocols for the pipeline, including the complexity reduction by R gene... -
Field Pathogenomics: An Advanced Tool for Wheat Rust Surveillance
Traditionally, diagnostic tools for plant pathogens were limited to the analysis of purified pathogen isolates subjected to phenotypic characterization and/or PCR-based... -
Isolation of Wheat Genomic DNA for Gene Mapping and Cloning
DNA is widely used in plant genetic and molecular biology studies. In this chapter, we describe how to extract DNA from wheat tissues. The tissue samples are ground to disrupt... -
Duration of developmental phases, and dynamics of leaf appearance and tilleri...
Variation in photoperiod sensitivity in wheat plays a major role in the crop adaptation to wide agronomic environments. Photoperiod insensitivity is provided by Ppd-Aa, Ppd-B1a... -
BED-domain-containing immune receptors confer diverse resistance spectra to y...
Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by ~25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global food security1. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be... -
Fine mapping of Aegilops peregrina co-segregating leaf and stripe rust resist...
Aegilops peregrina, a wild tetraploid relative of wheat with genome constitution UUSS, displays genetic variation for resistance to leaf and stripe (yellow) rust. The wheat Ae....
