Wheat cultivars represent optimal combinations of genes to maximize yield, quality and disease resistance In this sub-project we determined the ways in which important leaf rust resistance genes combine to confer disease resistance Some of these genes are effective only against wheat leaf rust,…
Fungi cause more than $100 billion in crop damage worldwide annually Fungal infections are spread by the distribution of fungal spores via water flow, wind currents, and insects Detecting and monitoring spores will facilitate disease management strategies to reduce economic loss In this project the…
