An ancestral NB-LRR with duplicated 3′UTRs confers stripe rust resistance in wheat and barley

Stripe rust is a serious threat to wheat production. Here, the authors reveal that the resistance gene, only present in the wheat progenitor Aegilops tauschii and its derived synthetic wheat, encodes a nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor and confers resistance in common wheat and barley.
