WHEAT RESISTANCE BREEDING THROUGH THE EXPLOITATION OF SUSCEPTIBILITY GENES
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Advances in Agricultural Sciences - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The worldwide wheat harvest is in danger from pests and diseases that have evolved to resist conventional control methods. Wheat susceptibility (S) genes are used to help the plant withstand infections from a wide variety of pests and diseases. In recent years, many wheat S genes have been discovered, and it has become clear that these genes control a wide range of functions, such as pathogen (pre)penetration, plant immunity, pathogen sustenance, and pest feeding. A novel path for wheat resistance enhancement is the inactivation of certain S genes using genome editing and TILLING methods. This might decrease compatibility and provide broad-spectrum and permanent resistance. Recent progress in characterizing wheat S genes is presented, along with the many ways in which these genes let wheat interact successfully with adaptive diseases and pests. Exploiting S genes in wheat resistance breeding: current tactics, limits, and future approaches.
