The genetics of wheat resistance to Septoria tritici blotch is reviewed, with a map of known genes, with major requirements for resistance breeding are diverse germplasm and field sites with severe Septoria.
Abstract
Highlights • We review the genetics of wheat resistance to Septoria tritici blotch, with a map of known genes.• Qualitative resistance is usually monogenic, genotype-specific and non-durable.• Quantitative resistance is generally polygenic with low specificity and greater durability.• Major requirements for resistance breeding are diverse germplasm and field sites with severe Septoria.
