Long range atmospheric transport is an important pathway for the spread of plant
pathogens, such as rust fungi which can devastate cereal crop health and food security …

Leaf rust is responsible for significant wheat yield losses. Its occurrence and severity have
increased in recent years, partly because of warmer climate. It is therefore critical to …

This paper offers projections of potential effects of climate change on rusts of wheat and how
we should factor in a changing climate when planning for the future management of these …

Although models to predict climate impact on crop production have been used since the
1980s, spatial and temporal diffusion of plant diseases are poorly known. This lack of …

Common rust (Puccinia sorghi) and southern rust (Puccinia polysora) are two of the most
important foliar corn diseases worldwide. These fungi have caused severe economic loss to …

Infectious crop diseases spreading over large agricultural areas pose a threat to food
security. Aggressive strains of the obligate pathogenic fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici …

Projected climate changes will affect wheat crop production both in the main processes of
plant growth and development but also in the occurrences and severities of plant diseases …

This review summarizes the most significant results from the so far existing, but fragmented
studies on the potential effects of climate change on wheat pathogens and the diseases they …

Wheat stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is a major threat in most wheat
growing regions worldwide, which potentially causes substantial yield losses when …

Rust fungi can overcome the effect of host resistance genes rapidly, and spores can
disperse long distance by wind. Here we demonstrate a foreign incursion of similar strains of …
