Leaf and yellow rusts are considered as one of the most serious biotic constraints of wheat inflicting massive economic losses globally. Host resistance is the only efficient, economical, ecofriendly way of controlling the rust diseases. Characterization of diverse wheat materials is always of a paramount importance for identifying potential varietal material to effectively control rusts and insignificant yield losses. With this background, the present experiments were designed and carried out at
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
