Mining Middle Eastern and Central Asian Barley Germplasm to Understand Diversity for Resistance to <i>Puccinia hordei</i>, Causal Agent of Leaf Rust

Vast collections of barley germplasm have been established and conserved in various global gene banks. These collections hold tremendous genetic diversity for resistance genes to <i>Puccinia hordei</i>, a causal agent of barley leaf rust. This study was undertaken to discover, characteri...
