Abstract excerpt
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, can cause severe yield losses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during epidemics. Breeding resistant wheat varieties remains the most cost-effective approach to manage this disease; and the identification of new resistance loci is essential for maintaining genetic diversity. The CIMMYT-derived wheat line 'Kijil' was highly resistant to stripe rust in both...
