First-ever cloning and characterization of a resistance gene against Septoria tritici blotch in wheat
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. Disease control efforts are focused on developing resistant wheat varieties. In a recent study, INRA researchers cloned and characterized a wheat gene that confers resistance against STB6 the first time this has been done. Their...
