Powdery Mildew (PM) is a fungal leaf disease caused by Blumeria graminis , which can reduce grain yield and quality in cereal crops. B. graminis species can be subdivided into Formae specialis groups ...

Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a widespread disease that leads to yield losses of ...

Global genomic analyses of wheat powdery mildew reveal association of pathogen spread with historical human migration and trade. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: ...

The powdery mildew from the USA, which was also imported, hybridized with the resident Japanese mildew strains, and the resulting hybrids successfully attacked newly bred wheat varieties.” ...

Notably, WTK3 not only confers resistance to wheat powdery mildew but also recognizes the wheat blast effector PWT4, triggering immune responses and exhibiting potential resistance to wheat blast.

The intensification of global wheat production has been accompanied by a pressing need to mitigate the impacts of powdery mildew, a foliar disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici.

Wheat is grown over more land area than any other food crop. Among pathogen-driven threats to wheat, fungi top the list, causing billions of dollars of losses each year and posing a serious challenge ...

Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a widespread disease that leads to yield losses of approximately 10–40%.

Previously, the research team successfully cloned the broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance genes Pm24 (WTK3) and Pm36 (WTK7-TM), both of which encode novel TKPs derived from Chinese wheat ...
