Discovery and mapping of a new gene in wheat for race-specific adult plant resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici
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 whe...
