The document summarizes research on pleiotropic adult plant resistance (PAPR) loci in wheat. Key points:
1. CIMMYT has conducted PAPR research since the 1970s, identifying loci such as Lr34, Lr46, and Lr67 that confer resistance to multiple diseases.
2. Studies mapped additional PAPR QTL in various wheat populations and identified markers for genes like Lr46, Sr2, and Yr54 useful for marker-assisted selection.
3. Research involves fine mapping genes, identifying deletion mutants, and understanding resistance mechanisms to improve durability and pyramide genes in wheat breeding.
4. An international shuttle breeding program
