Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a devastating foliar disease affecting worldwide wheat production. Here, the authors report a cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase that can confer resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici, the pathogen that causes STB, and slow penetration and intercellular growth of the pathogen.
