This project focuses on enhancing wheat's resistance to fungal diseases by studying specific genes that confer durable protection. By analyzing the roles of the Lr34 and Lr46 genes, the research aims to develop wheat varieties that can withstand various fungal threats, ensuring better crop yields and sustainability.
Fungal diseases constitute a major threat to wheat production worldwide.
Growing durably resistant crop is the most profitable and environmentally friendliest strategy to control plant pests.
The combination of three to five partial adult plant resistance genes with additive effects results in wheat varieties with adequate levels of durable resistance.
The two loci Lr34 and Lr46 confer durable, partial, and race non-specific protection against the three devastating fungal diseases wheat leaf rus…
