Genetic architecture and evolution of stripe rust resistance uncovered using diverse panels of wheat lines and North American Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici isolates

The paper identifies 77 unique Yr loci associated with stripe rust resistance in wheat using diverse germplasm and pathogen isolates, with 44 potentially novel and nine effective at the adult plant stage.

Mapping of Stripe Rust and Leaf Rust Resistance Genes in the Hard Red Winter Wheat Population Green Hammer/Lonerider

This study maps resistance genes for stripe rust and leaf rust in wheat using DH lines and QTL analysis, identifying both known and novel resistance loci.

Identification of stripe rust adult plant resistance genes in the hard winter wheat cultivar Bakers Ann

The paper identifies stripe rust resistance genes in the wheat cultivar Bakers Ann through QTL analysis of a DH population, finding four QTL with additive effects.

Wheat Enhanced Disease Resistance EMS-Mutants Include Lesion-mimics With Adult Plant Resistance to Stripe Rust

The paper identifies 16 wheat mutants with enhanced resistance to stripe rust and other fungal pathogens through forward genetic screening and maps their mutations to a long-read genome.

Classification and Regression Models for Genomic Selection of Skewed Phenotypes: A Case for Disease Resistance in Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

This study compares classification and regression models for predicting skewed phenotypes in winter wheat disease resistance, finding that transformed regression and classification models perform best.

Breeding with Major and Minor Genes: Genomic Selection for Quantitative Disease Resistance

This paper evaluates genomic selection models for predicting quantitative disease resistance in wheat, finding higher accuracy than marker-assisted selection when combining major and minor gene markers.
