Genetics of Resistance to Leaf Rust in Wheat: An Overview in a Genome-Wide Level

Due to the global warming and dynamic changes in pathogenic virulence, leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina has greatly expanded its epidermic region become a severe threat wheat production. Genetic bases of resistance mainly rely on (Lr) gene or quantitative trait locus (QLr). Although these genetic loci have been insensitively studied during last two decades, an updated overview Lr/QLr genome-wide level is urgently needed. This review summarized recent progresses studies rust. Wheat germplasms with great potentials for improvement were highlighted. Key information about carrying was summarized. A chromosome distribution map all generated based released reference genome. In conclusion, this provided valuable sources both breeders researchers understand genetics wheat.
