Current Status and Future Direction of the High‐Temperature Resistance in Wheat to Control Stripe Rust
High-temperature resistance: A gentle might to cradle wheat against stripe rust—it draws heat's strength, spanning growth stages, outpacing pathogen shifts, a shield for fields in a warming world.

Ravi que notre petit projet #MemoRust ait été retenu par #SuMCrop @inrae-france.bsky.social !
A l’interface phytopathologie–histoire des sciences et rurale, avec pour cas d’étude la rouille noire en France, nous analyserons les mécanismes de construction, transmission et oubli des savoirs.
