Objective:
Develop new sources of durable wheat rust resistance.

Approach:
1. Minimize the impact of African stem rust (Ug99) of wheat in the affected area as quickly as possible. 2. Provide more durable wheat rust resistance for the longer term. 3. Discover technology that will lead to the development of non-host resistance to rust in wheat.
