Abstract:BACKGROUNDThe wheat stem sawfly (WSS, Cephus cinctus) is a major pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and can cause significant yield losses. WSS damage results from stem boring and/or cutting, leading to the lodging of wheat plants. While solid‐stem wheat genotypes can effectively reduce larval survival, they may have lower yields than hollow‐stem genotypes and show inconsistent solidness expression. Due to limited resistance sources to WSS, evaluating diverse wheat germplasm for novel resistance genes is crucia… Show more
