As the world’s population continues to grow, so does its appetite for cereal grains, which include such dietary staples as wheat. This growing demand has driven agricultural scientists to develop ...

Journal of Plant Pathology, Vol. 103, No. 1 (February 2021), pp. 197-205 (9 pages) Under appropriate environmental conditions, stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici) is a ...

The disease affects cereals, especially wheat. It’s caused by a fungus called Puccinia graminis, which infects crops via spores that are very hardy and can travel long distances in the wind. It’s not ...

Researchers have cloned the wheat rust resistance genes Lr9 and Sr43 and identified that they encode unusual kinase fusion proteins [1] [2]. Their research will enable new options for addressing ...

Eighteen participating member countries will have something to smile about. Characterization of the resistance will be by morphology as well as through molecular marker assisted methods. The breeders ...

A new study published in Science by a team of scientists across five continents led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Associate Professor Brande Wulff reports a previously ...

Approximately 88 percent of wheat production is susceptible to yellow rust. Researchers have new results regarding the fungus, which evolves quickly to produce new, virulent strains. Researchers from ...

In spring 1920, Edgar McFadden was toiling away in the wheat fields of Agricultural Experiment Statn's Highmore location.

In a study in which they say will help eradicate major wheat diseases, researchers have assembled the genome of bread wheat and identified the gene responsible for stripe rust resistance. Crop ...
