Novel genomic regions associated with adult-plant resistance to multiple fungal pathogens in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) revealed by DArT marker sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Wheat is among the top three most important cereal crops globally and serves as a staple food for approximately 40% of the world's population. Fungal leaf diseases such as yellow and leaf rusts (YR, LR), septoria nodorum blotch (SNB), septoria tritici blotch (STB), and powdery mildew (PM) have a major effect on yield loss in wheat, and resistance breeding is so far the most effective strategy to minimize those...
