Wheat industry is an important constituent of Northern China’s overall agricultural economy. Proper disease detection using computer vision and pattern recognition has being investigated to minimize the loss, and finally achieve intelligent healthy farming. This paper proposes a new strategy of Multi-Classifier System based on SVM (support vector machine) for pattern recognition of wheat leaf d...

Stripe rust is a devastating fungal disease that afflicts wheat in many regions of the world. New races of Puccinia striiformis, the pathogen responsible for this disease, have overcome most of the known race-specific resistance genes. We report the map-based cloning of the gene Yr36 (WKS1), which confers resistance to a broad spectrum of stripe rust races at relatively high temperatures (25 de...
