Natural plant populations maintain diverse resistance genes, but crops often lack this diversity, making them vulnerable to rapidly evolving pathogens. @XiaoxiaoZhangA et al. used DNA shuffling on barley Mla7 and Mla13 genes to create MLA variants, some gaining the ability to

Obligate biotrophic fungi cause some of the most devastating diseases on cereals. They are also highly difficult to study…. It is truely remarkable how well described the barley and what powdery mildews are. Here the current knowledge and summary of great resources. Enjoy!
