Discovery links flax rust resistance to plant proteins
Federal scientists report that a specific globulin protein in flax plants corresponds to susceptibility to a rust fungus race. Four flax lines and four fungus races were tested, showing resistant plants lack the protein for the race they resist. Findings by USDA ARS, North Dakota Station researchers, and colleagues suggest new directions for breeding disease resistant crops.
