Resistance gene cloning from a wild crop relative by sequence capture and association genetics

Resistance gene cloning from a wild crop relative by sequence capture and association genetics


Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives could be used to engineer broad-spectrum resistance in domesticated crops. We combined association genetics with R gene enrichment sequencing (AgRenSeq) to exploit pan-genome variation in wild diploid wheat and rapidly clone four stem rust...
