Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: New SNP markers that can be used for marker-assisted selection and map-based cloning saturate the chromosome region carrying SrCad , a wheat gene that confers resistance to Ug99 stem rust. Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, is a devastating disease of wheat worldwide. Development of cultivars with effective resistance has been the primary means to control this disease, but...
