A QTL on rye chromosome 5R underpins root‑lesion nematode resistance in triticale and explains around 20% of the phenotypic variation. This rye‑derived locus, plus an associated KASP marker, enables marker‑assisted selection to transfer nematode resistance from triticale into wheat.

My stellar MSc student John Hubensky fabulously defended his thesis! 🎉 His research taught us about TPPs & their role in drought tolerance, & genetics of spike development. Thanks @NSERC_CRSNG @SaskWheat @mb_cropalliance for the funding & @westerngrains for scholarship to John.
🌾A good day for cereal rust community! Thrilled to share our 5 yrs of work with revolutionary discoveries on wheat & barley stripe rust fungi + we present the most comprehensive genomic resource (54 haploid genomes) ever developed for any wheat rust fungi. 1/5 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Wheat and barley stripe rust pan-genome facilitates discovery of the predominant North American lineage's origin in somatic hybridization
Wheat and barley stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis formae speciales tritici (Pst) and hordei (Psh) respectively is a perennial and endemic threat to those crops worldwide. Outside the Himala...
