Direct binding of a fungal effector by the wheat RWT4 tandem kinase activates defense

The paper shows RWT4, a wheat tandem kinase, directly binds the fungal effector AvrPWT4, triggering defense responses through kinase activity and structural features.

Intracellular reactive oxygen species (intraROS)-aided localized cell death contributing to immune responses against wheat powdery mildew pathogen

The paper quantifies intraROS and apoROS accumulation in wheat infected by Bgt, showing that intraROS contributes to localized cell death in NLR R gene lines, while unconventional R genes show reduced intraROS responses.

Dosage differences in 12-OXOPHYTODIENOATE REDUCTASE genes modulate wheat primary root growth

This study identifies OPRIII genes in wheat that modulate root architecture and grain yield under water stress through jasmonic acid signaling.

A wheat/rye polymorphism affects seminal root length and is associated with drought and waterlogging tolerance

The evolutionary advantage of condition-dependent recombination in a Red Queen model with diploid antagonists

This study shows condition-dependent recombination can be favored over constant recombination in a Red Queen model with diploid antagonists, even when optimal constant recombination is zero.

Molecular Mapping Of YrTZ2, A Stripe Rust Resistance Gene In Wild Emmer Accession TZ-2 And Its Comparative Analyses With Aegilops tauschii

The paper identifies and maps the stripe rust resistance gene YrTZ2 in wild emmer wheat and compares its genomic region with Aegilops tauschii.
