Wheat is grown worldwide in diverse geographical regions, environments, and production systems. Although many diseases and pests are known to reduce grain yield potential and quality, the three rusts and powdery mildew fungi have historically caused major crop losses and continue to remain economically important despite the widespread use of host resistance and fungicides. The evolution and fast spread of virulent and more aggressive race lineages of rust fungi have only worsened the situation…

The Role of Host Plant Resistance in Management of Wheat Rusts: A Review
Wheat is the world‟s most important crop and rusts are present wherever wheat is grown. Rust diseases of wheat are among the oldest known diseases and are important worldwide. Use of resistant…
Breeding progress for pathogen resistance is a second major driver for yield increase in German winter wheat at contrasting N levels
TLDR
Results strongly indicate that wheat breeding resulted in a substantial increase of grain yield along with a constant improvement of resistance to fungal pathogens, thereby contributing to an environment-friendly and sustainable wheat production.
Genomic approaches for mapping and predicting disease resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
TLDR
Genomic approaches for mapping and predicting disease resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wheat rusts are described, confirming the effectiveness of already known genes and revealing potentially novel loci associated with resistance.
Resistance Breeding Increases Winter Wheat Gross Margins–An Economic Assessment for Germany
Improved wheat varieties have ameliorated our food production. Intensive cropping systems, as in Germany, achieve very high grain yields and thus contribute greatly to global food security. As…
Breeding Progress in Seedling Resistance against Various Races of Stripe and Leaf Rust in European Bread Wheat
TLDR
Breeding progress, resulting in an increased seedling resistance, has been achieved against all nine isolates of the two rust pathogens over the past five decades, and an additive contribution of these isolate specific R genes after breakdown has been hypothesised.
Application of Genetic and Genomic Tools in Wheat for Developing Countries
Wheat Leaf Rust Disease Management: A Review
TLDR
This review discusses recent information on economic importance, epidemiology, geographic distribution, life cycle, host range of wheat leaf rust disease as well as its management methods such as cultural, chemical, biological and use of host resistance cultivars.
Elucidating the genetic basis of biomass accumulation and radiation use efficiency in spring wheat and its role in yield potential
TLDR
This work demonstrates the use of exotic material as a valuable resource to increase YP by providing markers for use in marker‐assisted breeding to systematically increase BM_PM, RUE and TGW and avoid the TGW/GM2 and BM-PM/HI trade‐off.
Elucidating the genetic basis of biomass accumulation and radiation use efficiency in spring wheat and its role in yield potential
TLDR
This work demonstrates the use of exotic material as a valuable resource to increase YP and provides markers for use in marker assisted breeding to systematically increase biomass, RUE and TGW and avoid the TGW/GNO and BM/HI trade-off.
Mapping of QTL for partial resistance to powdery mildew in two Chinese common wheat cultivars
TLDR
The novel QTL and their closely linked markers identified in the present study should facilitate development of cultivars with improved powdery mildew resistance.

A Putative ABC Transporter Confers Durable Resistance to Multiple Fungal Pathogens in Wheat
TLDR
It is shown that the LR34 protein resembles adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette transporters of the pleiotropic drug resistance subfamily, which functions in the adult plant and stimulates senescence-like processes in the flag leaf tips and edges.
Grain yield and breadmaking quality of wheat lines with the leaf rust resistance gene Lr41
TLDR
Lr41 increased grain yield and milling quality under heavy leaf rust infection with no negative effects on those traits in disease-free plots, however, Lr41 was associated with reduced bake-mixing time and water absorption in the absence of disease.
Genetics of tan spot resistance in wheat
TLDR
Future research is needed to identify novel HSTs and corresponding host sensitivity genes, determine if the recessively inherited resistance genes are HST insensitivities, extend the current race classification system to account for new HSTS, and determine the molecular basis of race non-specific resistance QTLs and their relationships with host–HST interactions at the molecular level.
Global status of wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina
TLDR
The importance of leaf rust in the main wheat production areas as reflected by yield losses, the complexity of virulence variation in pathogen populations, the role cultivars with race-specific resistance play in pathogenic evolution, and the control measures currently practiced in various regions of the world are summarized.
Assembling complex genotypes to resist Fusarium in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
TLDR
This experiment used high throughput microsatellite genotyping and half-seed analysis to process four independent crosses through a molecular breeding strategy to introduce multiple pest resistance genes into Canadian wheat and successfully introduced all of the chromosome segments containing FHB, Sm1 and Lr21 resistance genes.
Emergence and Spread of New Races of Wheat Stem Rust Fungus: Continued Threat to Food Security and Prospects of Genetic Control.
TLDR
Enhanced research in the last decade under the umbrella of the Borlaug Global Rust Initiative has identified various race-specific resistance genes that can be utilized, preferably in combinations, to develop resistant varieties.
Genetics of wheat–Pyrenophora tritici-repentis interactions
Tan spot, caused by an ascomycete fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is one of the most devastating foliar diseases of wheat. This fungus induces two distinct symptoms, tan necrosis and extensive…

Genetic Gain from Phenotypic and Genomic Selection for Quantitative Resistance to Stem Rust of Wheat
TLDR
Comparing realized gain from GS based on markers only with that of PS for QSRR in spring wheat using equal selection intensities shows that while GS and PS can lead to equal rates of short‐term gains, GS can reduce genetic variance more rapidly.
Research investment implications of shifts in the global geography of wheat stripe rust
TLDR
A significant increase in the spread of stripe rust since 1960 is documented, with 88% of the world's wheat production now susceptible to infection and it is estimated that a sustained annual research investment into stripe rust resistance is economically justified.
