Durum wheat with Yr78 and common wheat with Yr78 and Yr36 in coupling show enhanced stripe rust resistance
Introgression of Yr78 (where Yr is yellow rust) from common wheat into durum wheat enhances resistance to stripe rust in tetraploid wheat. A combination of Yr36 and Yr78 resistance genes in coupling...
