FINE MAPPING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF STRIPE RUST RESISTANCE GENE YRAYH IN NEAR-ISOGENIC LINES DERIVED FROM A CROSS INVOLVING WHEAT LANDRACE ANYUEHONG

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis here f.sp.tritici (Pst), is a devastating disease in wheat worldwide.Discovering and characterizing new resistance genes/QTL is crucial for wheat breeding programs.In this study, we fine-mapped and characterized a stripe rust resistance gene, YRAYH, on chromosome arm 5BL in the Chinese wheat landrace Anyu
