The Receptor-like Kinase TaCRK-7A Inhibits <i>Fusarium pseudograminearum</i> Growth and Mediates Resistance to Fusarium Crown Rot in Wheat
The fungus <i>F. pseudograminearum</i> can cause the destructive disease Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat, an important staple crop. Functional roles of FCR resistance genes in wheat are largely unknown. In the current research, we characterized the antifungal activity and positive-regu...
