The genetic variability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) for twist rust susceptibility and the consequences for genetic improvement of the species were evaluated after artificial inoculation of ...

USDA Forest Service researchers at the Southern Institute of Forest Genetics (SIFG) in Saucier, MS are mapping genes in the pathogen that causes fusiform rust to provide future forest managers with ...

Stem rust is a significant disease in wheat crops around the world, with outbreaks expected to become more common under future scenarios of climate change. The reemergence of the disease over the past ...

With reports of rapid yellow rust development in some winter wheat crops, it is important to understand the role varietal genetics plays in the fightback. In light of this, AHDB’s agronomy team ...

To counter the threat of wheat yellow rust, breeders have developed wheat variants that incorporate resistance genes (R-genes). Yr15 is an R-gene taken from wild emmer (Triticum dicoccoides) that ...
