Bulked Segregant Cgt-Seq-Facilitated Map-Based Cloning Of A Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene Originating From Wild Emmer Wheat (Triticum Dicoccoides)

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a widely occurring foliar diseases of wheat worldwide. Wild emmer wheat (WEW, Triticum dicoccoides) (AABB, 2n=4x=28), the progenitor of the cultivated tetraploid and hexaploid wheat, is highly resistant to powdery mildew and many resistance alleles were identified in this wild species.
