摘要

Rust diseases pose a severe threat to global wheat production, making the development of resistant cultivars a critical priority to ensure food security. This review highlights the importance of integrating resistance genes, leveraging advanced transgenic techniques, and conducting comprehensive field performance evaluations to enhance wheat defense against evolving rust pathogens. It provides critical insights into how modern genetic tools can be deployed to incorporate resistance traits into wheat genomes, emphasizing that while transgenic approaches hold significant promise, their combination with traditional strategies such as adult plant resistance (APR) and slow rusting genes is essential for achieving durable, sustainable protection. Hightlighting the explicitly linking recently cloned rust resistance genes (including Lr47, Yr87/Lr85, AcRLK2P-1, Lr30, YrTD121, and the Sr62TK–Sr62NLR immune module) with CRISPR based susceptibility gene editing (e.g., TaPsIPK1) and multi-environment field validation of resistance gene pyramids, an integration rarely systematically synthesized in existing reviews. Outcomes from extensive field trials further validate the practical effectiveness of resistant wheat lines. By synthesizing molecular discovery, genome editing, breeding deployment, and multi-season field assessment, this review provides a translational framework for developing durable wheat rust resistance under the pressure of evolving pathogens.
