An aphid‐resistant wheat variety reduces the transmission of barley yellow dwarf virus ( <scp>BYDV</scp> ) by <scp> <i>Rhopalosiphum padi</i> </scp> (L.)
Aphid resistance in G1 significantly reduced BYDV transmission, whereas Bdv2-mediated resistance in RGT Wolverine limited systemic infection. These complementary resistance mechanisms highlight the value of combining aphid- and virus-targeted traits to improve durable BYDV management in wheat. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
