“…Additionally, this study identified seven candidate genes that encode disease resistance proteins, the BTB/POZ domains, peroxidase activity, and leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase. Furthermore, we developed and validated two kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers, Kasp_3AL_FCR (QFCR.caas-3AL) and Kasp_5BL_FCR (QFCR.caas-5BL), in a natural population of 202 wheat varieties.DiscussionThis study contributes new genetic insights and provides new stable loci and available KASP markers for breeding to enhance FCR resistance in common wheat.…”
