Article Synopsis
- YrJ44 was identified as a more effective slow rusting gene localized on chromosome 6AL and proved to provide durable resistance against stripe rust in wheat compared to the Yr29 gene.
- Chinese wheat cultivar Jimai 44 has shown consistent slow rusting resistance since its release, even in the face of changing pathogens.
- Genetic analysis of recombinant inbred lines derived from Jimai 44 and the susceptible cultivar Jimai 229 revealed two stable QTL associated with stripe rust resistance, suggesting that combining YrJ44 and Yr29 could enhance resistance in wheat breeding efforts.
Wheat stripe rust is one of the main wheat diseases worldwide, which has significantly adverse effects on wheat yield and quality, posing serious threats on food security. Disease severity grading plays a paramount role in stripe rust disease management including breeding disease-resistant wheat varieties. Manual inspection is time-consuming, labor-intensive and prone to human errors, therefore, there is a clearly urgent need to develop more effective and efficient disease grading strategy by using automated approaches.
