Inactivation of a wheat protein kinase gene confers broad-spectrum resistance to rust fungiPuccinia striiformis is a damaging fungal pathogen that causes stripe rust in wheat. Upon infection, the fungus induces a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, TaPsIPK1, that specifically interacts with the effector, PsSpg1. Field trials show that inactivating TaPsIPK1 confers broad-spectrum resistance to rust pathogens without impacting agronomic traits over a two-year period.Puccinia striiformis is a damaging fungal pathogen that causes stripe rust in wheat.
