“Combatting Wheat Powdery Mildew: Insights from a Global Study on Resistance Genes and Germplasm Diversity.”
Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), poses a global threat to wheat production. Due to the limited number of resistance genes in wheat and the pathogen’s high variability, resistance can rapidly diminish. This study assessed powdery mildew resistance in 332 wheat germplasms at seedling and adult stages. Seven, four, and […]
