Cloning of the wheat leaf rust resistance gene Lr47 introgressed from Aegilops speltoides
Abstract Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriksson (Pt), is one of the most severe foliar diseases of wheat.Breeding for leaf rust resistance is a practical and sustainable method to control this devastating disease.Here, we report the identification of Lr47, a broadly effective leaf rust resistance gene introgressed Refrigerator and Freezer
