]The Ug99 coded wheat cotton mushroom, which leads to a black body and a look at the buckwheat stem, appeared in East Africa for the first time.
[[T]]The disease jumping the sea was seen in Yemen last year. [ [Finally also appeared in Iran.
]If the mantar plant is severe, it can destroy the harvest completely, because it prevents the nutrients to cool.
With the John Innes Center in the UK, the International Egypt and Wheat Development Centre in Mexico (CIMMYT) said that most of the wheat species grown in Africa and Asia are not resistant to Ug99 mushroom.
Experts save years of development of durable plants. [
