Genome-wide analysis of the wheat LIFEGUARD gene family and functional characterization of TaLFG32 in response to stripe rust

Wheat stripe rust, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ), poses a major threat to global wheat production. Although breeding resistant cultivars remains the most effective strategy for controlling stripe rust, resistance conferred by race-specific genes is of...
