Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance.
Review in The plant genome, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses. This review synthesizes current knowledge on stripe rust resistance, covering pathogen biology, host immunity, and recent advances in genetics and genomics, with emphasis on the rapid emergence of new virulent Pst pathotypes that frequently overcome deployed resistance genes. We outline the complexity and evolutionary agility of the Pst genome, which drive recurrent resistance breakdowns. On the host side, we summarize multilayered immune signaling, including pattern recognition receptors, major resistance genes and quantitative trait loci, and downstream defense cascades. Multiomics studies highlight biphasic defense responses and regulatory networks that distinguish resistant and susceptible genotypes. Breeding strategies ranging from classical selection to quantitative trait loci mapping, genome-wide association studies, marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and genome editing are evaluated for their contributions to durable resistance. We also highlight emerging roles of transcription factors, epigenetic regulation, and gene regulatory networks. Advances in genome sequencing, pan genomics, and allele mining are accelerating the discovery of novel resistance sources and expanding understanding of wheat diversity. Finally, we discuss how climate change and ongoing pathogen evolution require integrated disease management and continuous innovation in resistance breeding. Overall, this review connects fundamental biology with applied breeding to support durable stripe rust resistance and sustainable wheat production worldwide.
