Abstract:
Broad spectrum resistance genes are desirable in wheat breeding because they confer resistance against multiple pathogens. Kinase fusion proteins confer broad spectrum resistance in wheat. The resistance locus Pm4 encodes a kinase fusion protein that confers resistance to the fungal diseases powdery mildew and wheat blast.
