Compositions and methods and for enhancing the resistance of plants, particularly wheat plants to stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici are provided. The compositions comprise nucleic acid molecules encoding resistance (R) gene products and variants thereof and plants, seeds, and plant cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The methods for enhancing the resistance of a plant to stem rust comprise introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding an R gene product into a plant cell. Additionally provided are methods for using the resistant plants in agriculture to limit stem rust.
