The paper clones the wheat stripe rust resistance gene Yr9, identifies it as a CC-NBS-LRR gene in a conserved NLR cluster, and highlights its importance for durable disease resistance.

The paper applies genomic selection to optimize doubled haploid breeding in maize by improving prediction accuracy for DH production and agronomic traits.

This study extends the in vivo haploid induction system from diploid maize to hexaploid wheat by knocking out homologous genes, achieving 2%-3% haploid induction with 30%-60% seed setting rate.
