Resistance gene cloning from a wild crop relative by sequence capture and association genetics

Sanu Arora et al. Nat Biotechnol. 2019 Feb.

Abstract

Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives could be used to engineer broad-spectrum resistance in domesticated crops. We combined association genetics with R gene enrichment sequencing (AgRenSeq) to exploit pan-genome variation in wild diploid wheat and rapidly clone four stem rust resistance genes. AgRenSeq enables R gene cloning in any crop that has a diverse germplasm panel.
