Escalating Threat of Wheat Stripe Rust Under Climate Change: Pathogen Evolution, Resistance Durability, and Future Management
infection can be managed through integrative management practices, including biological control agents (BCAs), cultural and agronomic practices, rotation, and targeted application of fungicides. Varietal resistance, as well as disease management, is discussed in addition to recent advances in understanding pathogen biology, climatic influences, virulence evolution, and host resistance. Furthermore, this review highlights the need for climate-smart disease-resistant varieties breeding, a disease surveillance network, and diversified, eco-friendly control strategies to safeguard wheat production in an era of rapid environmental change.
