Wheat stem rust is caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici . This major disease has been effectively controlled via resistance genes since the 1970s. The appearance and spread of new races of P . graminis f. sp. tritici (eg., Ug99, TKTTF, and TTRTF) have renewed the interest in identifying the re...
