Resistance gene makes wheat more resistant to Septoria

Researchers have introduced a gene in wheat to make the crop resistant to Septoria. Whilst this is not a breakthrough, it has great practical value.” Breeding is becoming an increasingly more important tool in the fight against pests and diseases as other crop protection products are under pressure. An international group of researchers has taken a major step forward in this regard for wheat cultivation by describing a resistance gene (Stb16q) and incorporating it into wheat. The researcher
