Population genetic structure of Chinese Puccinia triticina races based on multi-locus sequences

Genetic Variation and Virulence on Lr26 in Puccinia triticina.

ABSTRACT The genetic relationships between isolates of Puccinia triticina virulent on wheat with the Lr26 resistance gene were studied. The diversity within and between isolates of P. triticina from Israel, Europe, and the United States was determined by virulence on near-isogenic Thatcher lines and by random amplified polymorphic DNA. According to the molecular markers, isolates that were viru...

Using transcription of six Puccinia triticina races to identify the effective secretome during infection of wheat

Wheat leaf rust, caused by the basidiomycete Puccinia triticina, can cause yield losses of up to 20% in wheat producing regions. During infection, the fungus forms haustoria that secrete proteins into the plant cell and effect changes in plant transcription, metabolism, and defense. It is hypothesized that new races emerge as a result of overcoming plant resistance via changes in the secreted e...

Races of Puccinia striiformis f

Stripe rust of barley, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei (PSH), occurred mainly in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington and caused localized damage to barley crops. Growing cultivars with high-temperature, adult-plant resistance and the cropping system contributed to the low level of stripe rust. Stripe rust samples were collected from the four states and tested under controlled...

Wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina.

UNLABELLED Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most common rust disease of wheat. The fungus is an obligate parasite capable of producing infectious urediniospores as long as infected leaf tissue remains alive. Urediniospores can be wind-disseminated and infect host plants hundreds of kilometres from their source plant, which can result in wheat leaf rust epidemics on a continental ...
