TL;DR: A brief summary of antioxidant defense and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) signaling in wheat plants is offered to alleviate oxidative damage and is an important factor contributing to stress tolerance in cereals.

TL;DR: The involvement of antioxidant enzymes in the tolerance of plants to various stresses is reported and the equilibrium between the production and detoxification of ROS is sustained by enzyme and nonenzymatic antioxidants.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global partnership for breeding new wheat varieties with resistance to rust pathogens has been proposed to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals of ending hunger and extreme poverty (MDG1), while concurrently promoting environmental sustainability through global partnerships for development.

TL;DR: Thinopyrum ponticum belongs to the Triticeae tribe, and is currently used as a source of pathogen resistance genes in wheat breeding, and the number and position of 45S and 5S rDNA sites, as well as the distribution of the repetitive DNA sequences pAs1 and pSc119.2, were identified by fluorescent in situ hybridization.

TL;DR: The early induction of transcription of defence-related genes supports the pre-haustorial resistance phenotype in Toropi, providing a valuable source of genes controlling leaf rust resistance for wheat breeding.
