Mutations in Wheat Exhibiting Growth-Stage-Specific Resistance to Biotrophic Fungal Pathogens
Two mutants were isolated in wheat that showed enhanced resistance towards Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici, the fungal causal agent of yellow rust.The altered phenotype honing steel of I3-48 is due to a minimum of two mutation events, each showing a partial, additive effect, with one mutation segregating with a deletion on the long arm of chromos
