Article Synopsis
- Stripe rust is a wheat disease caused by a fungal pathogen, and the best defense is planting resistant wheat cultivars, particularly tetraploid varieties that offer genetic diversity.
- Researchers mapped nine quantitative trait loci (QTL) for stripe rust resistance from a cross between durum wheat cultivars Svevo and Zavitan in China and Israel.
- One major resistance locus was found on chromosome arm 1BL, while other minor-effect QTL were identified on different chromosomes, which can assist in developing more resistant wheat strains through marker-assisted selection.
