Triticum aestivum Raw sequence reads

Yellow rust (YR) is a major wheat disease. Due to fragmented resistance - gene information, knowledge - guided R - gene deployment is limited. We generated NGS - based variome data from 2,191 wheat accessions and YR response datapoints, established YR resistance genes/QTL landscape via GWAS, and cloned three representative resistance genes (Yr5x, YR6, TaSTART77). This provides resources for R - gene deployment and new ways for engineering alleles in breeding for durable YR resistance.
