Map-based cloning of leaf rust resistance gene Lr21 from the large and polyploid genome of bread wheat.

We report the map-based cloning of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr21, previously mapped to a gene-rich region at the distal end of chromosome arm 1DS of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Molecular ...
