Genetic Diversity and Evolutionary Analyses Reveal the Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene Pm21 Undergoing Diversifying Selection

Wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) is a devastating disease that threatens wheat production and yield worldwide. The powdery mildew resistance gene Pm21, originating from wheat wild relative Dasypyrum villosum, encodes a coiled-coil, nucleotide-binding site, leucin...
