Abstract:
Disease tolerance is defined as the ability to maintain grain yield in the presence of disease and could be a potential defence mechanism to be incorporated into breeding programmes. It is an attractive goal, as disease tolerance has the potential to be a broad-spectrum, durable defence mechanism while exerting little selection pressure on pathogen populations. Relatively little is known about how disease tolerance is conferred, but most of the hypotheses suggest resource capture and resource-use traits such as large green canopy area, increased light extinction coefficient and a high source t

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a vital crop that supplies ~20% of globally consumed calories.

Pathogens can rapidly evolve to overcome genetically resistant varieties so there is much focus on the study of disease resistance genes (R genes) to combat this threat. Cloning specific R genes has been a major effort as the immense size and complexity of the wheat genome means it can take a decade or more to isolate a single R gene using classic map-based methods.

Breeding for resistant wheat cultivars is considered one of the best control options. Previously identified resistance has been reported in the Chinese genotype Sumai 3.
