Description
Jatinder Singh, Santosh Gudi, Peter Maughan, Rajeev Gupta, and Upinder Gill rebuilt the gene map of a wild wheat kin in twenty twenty-five, hunting leaf rust resistance. Leaf rust cuts wheat yield worldwide. The wild species Aegilops umbellulata resists many rust races. The team used short-read data with long-read transcript data to re-map one accession.
The new map holds sixty-two thousand four hundred thirty-four gene models, most of high confidence. Gene activity in resistant and susceptible plants was compared after rust infection. The resistant one replied early and strongly, within six hours, while the other lagged. Two candidate genes stood out early. One bore a repeat motif and one a kinase part. The authors call them prime picks for tests and tougher wheat breeding.
