Main conclusion Identification and functional characterization of plant pathogen effectors
promise to ameliorate future research and develop effective and sustainable strategies for …

The obligate biotrophic fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, which causes yellow (stripe)
rust disease, is among the leading biological agents resulting in tremendous yield losses on …

Background The stripe rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), threats world
wheat production. Resistance to Pst is often overcome by pathogen virulence changes, but …

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causal agent of stripe rust, is an obligate biotrophic
pathogen responsible for severe wheat disease epidemics worldwide. Pst and other rust …

Few reports explain the mechanism of PEG action on stomatal behavior and anatomical
structure and analyze the photosynthetic pigments of in vitro date palm plantlets for better …

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, the causal agent of wheat stripe (yellow) rust, is an obligate,
biotrophic fungus. It was difficult to study the genetics of the pathogen due to the lack of …

Background Plant fungal pathogens can rapidly evolve and adapt to new environmental
conditions in response to sudden changes of host populations in agro-ecosystems …

Rust fungi in Pucciniales have caused destructive plant epidemics, have become more
aggressive with new virulence, rapidly adapt to new environments, and continually threaten …

The devastating wheat stripe (yellow) rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a
macrocyclic and heteroecious fungus. Pst produces urediniospores and teliospores on its …

The serine protease inhibitor (serpin) gene family is the largest family of protease inhibitors.
Serine protease inhibitors have an active, but under-characterized, role in grain …
