Researchers were able to isolate three genes that give cultivated wheat resistance to diseases

An international research team in collaboration with researchers from Tel Aviv University isolated from wild plants three genes for resistance to the rust fungi, which cause the most serious diseases that damage wheat crops in the world. The isolation of the genes and their transfer to wheat became possible thanks to a series of technological developments, which greatly shorten the amount of time needed to locate and isolate genes from wild plants and transfer them to cultivated plants
