Characterization of the <i>WAK</i> Gene Family Reveals Genes for FHB Resistance in Bread Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.)

Wall-associated kinases (WAKs) are important receptor-like proteins that play major roles in plant defense against pathogens. Fusarium head blight (FHB), one of the most widespread and devastating crop diseases, reduces wheat yield and leads to quality deterioration. Although WAK gene families have...
