Wheat Rusts and Resistance Breeding: Methods and Protocols

This detailed volume collects techniques for increasing our understanding of wheat rust pathogens, the host plant, and the interactions between the two. Beginning with routine and advanced tools used for pathogen surveillance, characterization, and field assessment of germplasm for resistance, the book continues with sections on genetic analysis and breeding for rust resistance, as well as rust management through fungicidal approaches. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular ...
