Abstract excerpt
Key message A non-durable adult plant stripe rust resistance gene in wheat was mapped to the distal region of chromosome 2DS and designated Yr88. Wheat stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most damaging fungal pathogens of wheat globally. Efforts to breed improved wheat cultivars have placed high priority on incorporating resistance to Pst. The resistances used...
