Abstract excerpt
Wheat is a critical global food source, yet its production is threatened by stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), which causes substantial yield losses worldwide. The resistance gene Yr15, derived from wild emmer wheat, encodes the tandem kinase protein WTK1 and confers wide-spectrum resistance to more than 2,000 Pst isolates. Here, we examined how WTK1-mediated resistance is shaped by...
