High‐resolution mapping of Yr78, an adult plant resistance gene to wheat stripe rust

High‐resolution mapping of Yr78, an adult plant resistance gene to wheat stripe rust

Yr78 is tightly linked to the NOR-B2 locus on a chromosome 6B region of limited recombination. Yr78 was mapped to a 0.05-cM region that includes 15 high-confidence annotated genes. There is a large...

Dr. Jorge Dubcovsky talks with @kcranews about how US wheat breeders are developing a crop that can meet soaring demands while defying climate change @WheatCAP kcra.com/article/us-wheat-br…

US 'wheat breeders' are developing a crop that can meet soaring demands while defying climate change

Current projects show that without major emissions reductions, intensifying droughts brought on by human-caused climate change could cut global wheat crop yields in half.
