Improving multiple disease resistance in wheat by using multitask kinase fusion proteins
Broad spectrum resistance genes are desirable in wheat breeding because they confer resistance against multiple pathogens. Kinase fusion proteins confer broad spectrum resistance in wheat. The resistance locus Pm4 encodes a kinase fusion protein that confers resistance to the fungal diseases powdery mildew and wheat blast.
