Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

All countries share the need to increase wheat yield and tolerance to adverse environmental factors. Rust, the most common infector of wheat, is widely dispersed on the territory of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The data shows that on the territory of following countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan the percentage of infected wheat with rust from the total amount is approximately 20-25% annually. Brachypodium distachyon can be regarded as a perspective model to study various mechanisms of a rust infection.
