stem rust caused by puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (pgt) is one of the destructive diseases of wheat in the world. the fungal pathogen can infect 365 different grass and more than 70 berberis species. dna sequences for the ribosomal rna internal transcribed spacer (its) have proven suitable to explore relationships at the species and subspecies levels. an isolate of pgt which was collected fr...

BACKGROUND The wheat stripe rust fungus (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, PST) is responsible for significant yield losses in wheat production worldwide. In spite of its economic importance, the PST genomic sequence is not currently available. Fortunately Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has radically improved sequencing speed and efficiency with a great reduction in costs compared to tradi...

The Volga region is one of the main grain-producing regions Russia. Wheat stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici among most destructive fungal diseases wheat. Recently, its harmfulness has increased in region. In this regard, an analysis resistance and diversity Sr genes Russian wheat cultivars necessary. work, 126 (including 23 durum 103 bread cultivars) approved for use were eva...

Stem rust was one of the most devastating diseases of barley in North America. Through the deployment of cultivars with the resistance gene Rpg1, losses to stem rust have been minimal over the past 70 yr. However, there exist both domestic (QCCJB) and foreign (TTKSK aka isolate Ug99) pathotypes with virulence for this important gene. To identify new sources of stem rust resistance for barley, w...

Rusts are one of the most severe threats to cereal crops because new pathogen races emerge regularly, resulting in infestations that lead to large yield losses. In 1999, a new race of stem rust, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt TTKSK or Ug99), was discovered in Uganda. Most of the wheat and barley cultivars grown currently worldwide are susceptible to this new race. Pgt TTKSK has already s...
