Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Four QTL conferring resistance to ergot were identified in the UK winter wheat varieties 'Robigus' and 'Solstice'. Two QTL co-located with semi-dwarfing alleles at the Rht loci Rht - 1B and Rht - 1D implicating a role of these DELLA proteins in infection success of Claviceps purpurea. The fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea infects ovaries of a broad range of temperate grasses and cereals, including...
