Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been recognized as a major staple crop worldwide since the Green Revolution. It contributes to about 40% of the world's feeding requirements. However, several factors significantly reduce wheat productivity: for example, insects, rusts, foliar diseases, etc. Rust can form some new strains and can cause damage to resistant varieties; leaf, stem, and stripe are the most reported so far. The current study describes a comprehensive overview of leaf, stem, and stripe rust diseases and performs a bibliometric analysis. We used the WoSCC, and our keywords were “wheat” AND “Rust resistance” From the topics. The timespan was limited from 1990 to 2022. A total of 476 sources have published 5199 documents, with an annual growth of 7.27%. A total of 10457 authors contributed globally, and 154 papers were single-authored. A total of 9599 terms were used in the “Titles” of these documents, among which “wheat” appeared 1174 times, “resistance” 939 times, and “gene” was the primary third occurred term with a frequency of 404. A total of 106 countries have participated. The USA stood at the top, followed by Australia. A similar study is suggested using other databases like Scopus.
