TL;DR: The present review summarizes the available data on wheat-alien transfers conferring resistance to diseases and pests and should be useful for further directed chromosome engineering aimed at producing superior germplasm.

TL;DR: Two resistance genes are identified that could protect wheat from a virulent fungus that can severely reduce crop yields and offer opportunities to slow the pace of Ug99 progression.

TL;DR: Inheritance studies showed that the VPM1-derived seedling resistances to stem rust, stripe rust, leaf rust, and powdery mildew were controlled by single genes; the genes for rust resistance were designated Sr38, Yr17, and Lr37, respectively, whereas the gene for resistance to powdery Mildew was postulated to be Pm4b.

TL;DR: This chromosomal region in wheat has now been linked with resistance to five different pathogens, including enhanced stem rust resistance and tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus infection.

TL;DR: Pathogenic attributes of the wheat stripe rust pathogen were monitored in annual surveys from the first recording of this disease in Australia in 1979 to 1988, and single-gene mutations were the most likely causes of variation.
