Description
Behnaz Soleimani and a large team of co-authors search in 2026 for new rust resistance sources in spring wheat. Leaf rust and yellow rust fungi cut grain yield and quality worldwide. Many known resistance genes have been overcome by fast-changing pathogen populations, so fresh sources are needed.
They tested nearly two thousand accessions from a German gene bank with a detached-leaf assay. Genome scans with many markers and several models found six peaks for each rust. Six candidate genes sit near those peaks. The findings may help breeders widen the resistance base for durable protection.
