Gb3 encodes a unique kinase fusion protein conferring greenbug resistance in wheat.
Understanding plant resistance to insects has lagged owing to a scarcity of cloned resistance genes. Here we report cloning of the greenbug resistance gene Gb3 in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), initially introgressed into cultivars such as 'TAM112' from Aegilops tauschii. Gb3 encodes an intracellular kinase-pseudokinase...
