Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Integrating high-throughput phenotyping with multiple complementary GWAS models reduces method-dependent bias and enables reliable identification of novel loci and elite germplasm for durable yellow and leaf rust resistance in wheat. The causal agents of yellow and leaf rust in wheat, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici and Puccinia triticina, pose a serious threat to grain yield and quality...
