Unveiling the genetic architecture of stripe rust resistance in wheat: a region-specific GWAS in Xinjiang, China

Key Points

• Stripe rust resistance is associated with specific genetic loci in wheat.
• Key evidence revealed 12 significant alleles linked to enhanced resistance.
• Genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified gene regions responsible for resistance traits in wheat varieties.
• Highlights the importance of these genetic factors for future breeding strategies against stripe rust.
