the stripe (yellow) rust in wheat is one of the most important plant diseases in iran. since 1993 several epidemics have occurred in iran causing the breakdown of widely util-ized sources of resistance in wheat cultivars. twenty-seven pathotypes were identified during 2003 and 2004 in greenhouse tests. pathotypes 6e6a+, 6e22a+, 6e130a+, 6e134a+, 6e142a+, 6e158a+, 134e130a+ and 134e142a+ were mo...

a study was conducted to assess the durable resistance in a near isogenic line of spring wheat (triticum aestivalis l.), possessing resistance gene yr-18 to some isolates (race specific resistance) of stripe rust (puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici), namely thatcher yr-18 and durable resistance of an cultivar of spring wheat to all isolates of stripe rust (race non- specific resistance), namel...

Race Ug99 of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, recognized for possessing virulence to Sr31, was first reported in Uganda in 1999 (Pretorius et al., 2000). Based on the North American stem rust nomenclature system of 16 differential lines (Roelfs and Martens, 1988; Roelfs et al., 1993), Ug99 is identified as race TTKS (Wanyera et al., 2006). Isolates with virulence similar to Ug99 were identifie...

Objective: Wheat leaf rust is one of the most widespread rust diseases caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. De novo assembly of short sequence reads in order to understand the molecular phenomenon underlying wheat leaf rust interaction and to assemble differentially expressed genes, resistance genes and the genes encoding transcription factors in response to Puccinia infection in wheat was the m...

Stripe rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, continues to cause severe damage worldwide. Durable resistance is necessary for sustainable control of the disease. High-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance, which expresses when the weather becomes warm and plants grow older, has been demonstrated to be durable. We conducted numerous studies to understand the molecular ...

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide used for the control of weeds in glyphosate-resistant crops. Glyphosate inhibits 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate 3-phosphate synthase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants, fungi, and bacteria. Studies with glyphosate-resistant wheat have shown that glyphosate provided both preventive and curative activities against Puccinia striiformi...

Puccinia horiana Hennings, the causal agent of chrysanthemum white rust, is a worldwide quarantine organism and one of the most important fungal pathogens of Chrysanthemum × morifolium cultivars, which are used for cut flowers and as potted plants in commercial production regions of the world. It was previously reported to be controlled by Lecanicillium lecanii, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, C. ...
