Barley is an important coarse cereal, cultivated in Rabi season, particularly in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Currently, it covers an area of about 0.66 million hectares under rainfed and irrigated crop. Seventy per cent produce is used for cattle and poultry f...

Biotic stresses including fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens are a major constraint to wheat production world-wide. Significant changes in the pathotype situation within rusts along with emergence of new diseases such as wheat blast have occurred in recent years. Such example highlights the urgent need to better understand host–pathogen interac...

... Indian sub-continent wheat also subjected to yield losses in the north western regions, Himalayan foot hills of north western pats and plain areas of southern hilly zones in Nilgiris and Palani due to stripe rust [47]. The virulence of Pst pathotypes for Yr2, YrA, Yr9 and Yr27 in the major growing cultivars are responsible with severe epidemic as they are constituted with racespecific genes and completely eradicated from the cultivation in India [48]. Hence with present research findings the combination of the APR genes Yr18, Yr29 and Yr16 either alone or with major genes could be very effective against stripe rust of wheat to provide promising resistance. ...
... Schlech. Shoem)] (Pg) can go through only one cycle of infection during a season, which significantly reduces grain yield and quality attributes such as protein and carbohydrate content (Gangwar et al. 2018). ...
... Efforts have been made to decipher the genome structure, molecular basis of variation, and pathogenicity of rust fungus in wheat, and the genome of three races (K, 31, and 46S119) of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (wheat yellow rust fungus) has been unzipped (Kiran et al. 2017). Recently, in India, a major rust resistance gene Lr80 was identified from the local wheat landrace, Hango-2, and mapped on the 2DS chromosome . ...
