Description
Chetan and co-authors review a decade of gene-activity studies on how wheat fights its three rust fungi, in work from twenty twenty-four. Stripe, leaf, and stem rusts threaten harvests across the globe. Fungal evolution keeps outrunning the resistance bred into wheat. Gene expression profiling, or transcriptomics, exposes the battle plan. Infected wheat switches defence genes on in two waves.
The biphasic pattern separates early alarm from sustained defence clearly. Signal pathways and hormone cross-talk map out in detail. Wheat answers with oxidative bursts and reinforced cell walls. Photosynthesis is throttled in a controlled way during attack. Profiling also spots fresh resistance and susceptibility genes. Breeders gain molecular targets for tougher wheat varieties.
