Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Genome-wide association mapping of 297 Watkins wheat landraces across diverse stripe rust races & genetic lineages identified 87 QTL. However, only 29 high-confidence loci were detected across multiple stripe rust isolates, identified by both GWAS models, and/or co-localizing with previously designated Yr genes, highlighting Watkins landraces as valuable pre-breeding donors for stripe rust...
