A single NLR gene confers resistance to leaf and stripe rust in wheat
Abstract Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) disease resistance genes typically confer resistance against races of a single pathogen.Here, we report that Yr87/Lr85, an NLR gene from Aegilops sharonensis and Aegilops longissima, confers resistance against both P.striiformis tritici (Pst) and Puccinia triticina (Pt) that cause stripe and ZIN
