Real-time quantitative PCR method for assessing wheat cultivars for resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici
The data analyses showed that the fungus was not eliminated during resistant interactions but could persist throughout the 27 days. Our results suggest that the real-time PCR method can distinguish between resistant and susceptible cultivars starting at 12 DAI and can be used to evaluate early-stage breeding materials for both quantitative and qualitative resistance to <i>Z. tritici</i>.
