TuRLK1, a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase, is indispensable for stripe rust resistance of YrU1 and confers broad resistance to multiple pathogens.

Background: YrU1 is a nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein (NLR), with additional ankyrin-repeat and WRKY domains and confers effective resistance to stripe rust fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici (Pst).

Diversity and similarity of wheat powdery mildew resistance among three allelic functional genes at the Pm60 locus.

Cultivated wheat is continually exposed to various pathogens. Blumeria graminis f. sp.
