Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The genomic positions of 18 additional race-specific wheat resistance genes were identified in a germplasm panel.
- Observation Bt11 and Bt12 represent multi-gene resistance complexes rather than single loci in wheat.
- Observation Bt4 may possibly be identical to Bt6 in wheat.
- Observation Bt10 may possibly be identical to BtZ in wheat.
- Observation Bt9 may possibly be identical to one of the genes in the Bt11 complex in wheat.
- Observation The identified wheat resistance haplotypes provide an improved tool for marker-assisted selection.
- Recommendation The authors recommend supporting the development of wheat cultivars with durable resistance to common bunt.
- Recommendation The authors recommend a revised nomenclature of wheat bunt resistance genes and a differential set of varieties.
