Wheat stripe rust resistance gene Yr9, derived from rye, is a CC-NBS-LRR gene in a highly conserved NLR cluster

The paper clones the wheat stripe rust resistance gene Yr9, identifies it as a CC-NBS-LRR gene in a conserved NLR cluster, and highlights its importance for durable disease resistance.

Manipulation of the brown glume and internode 1 gene leads to alterations in lignified tissue coloration, lignification, and pathogen resistance in wheat

This study identifies and characterizes the BGI1 gene in wheat, showing its role in lignin biosynthesis and pathogen resistance through loss-of-function and overexpression experiments.

Sequence based mapping identifies AWNS1, a candidate transcription repressor underlying awn suppression at the B1 locus in wheat
