Allele mining in barley genetic resources reveals genes of race-nonspecific powdery mildew resistance

Race-nonspecific, or quantitative, pathogen resistance is of high importance to plant breeders due to its expected durability. However, it is usually controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) and therefore difficult to handle in practice. Knowing the genes that underlie race-nonspecific r...
