Multiple studies have reported genetic evidence of crop‐to‐wild introgression in phenotypically wild accessions of wild barley ( Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum ). We examined 318 Wild Barley Diversity Collection (WBDC) accessions for evidence of introgression from domesticated barley. Using SNP genotyping data, we performed local ancestry inference between the WBDC accessions and domesticated barley to identify genomic region...

Stem rust [causal organism: Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici ( Pgt )], stripe rust [ Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst )], and leaf rust [ Puccinia triticina ( Pt )] are important fungal diseases of wheat in Central Asia and worldwide. Therefore, identification of seedling and adult plant resistance (APR) genes is of major importance for the national wheat breeding program in many countries. The objectives of this stud...
