Hunting for Wheat Rust Resistance Amid Relentless Fungal Mutations
Cultivating single, major resistance genes can completely shield crops from stem rust, but only until the fungus evolves and the plants become vulnerable again — usually three to five years. By focusing on so-called minor genes, scientists hope they can provide longer-term protection for African farmers.
