Journal of Plant Pathology, Vol. 103, No. 1 (February 2021), pp. 197-205 (9 pages) Under appropriate environmental conditions, stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici) is a ...

Eighteen participating member countries will have something to smile about. Characterization of the resistance will be by morphology as well as through molecular marker assisted methods. The breeders ...

Findings will allow researchers to discover new genes that can improve wheat resistance to diseases Advanced technologies used can be applied to any plant genome Effort has already resulted in ...

Famine may be largely a thing of the past but in recent years the re-emergence of a disease that can kill wheat - which provides a fifth of humanity's food - has threatened food security; now a ...

The stem rust pathogen infects all above-ground parts of the wheat plants, including the head. In this case, control with fungicides is usually not possible because of end-product contamination, or ...

Scientists have unraveled how wheat protects itself from a deadly pathogen. Their findings could be harnessed to make important crop species more resistant to disease. Scientists from the Max Planck ...
