Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are the largest group of plant pathogens and represent one of the
most devastating threats to agricultural crops worldwide. Despite the economic importance …

First described in Europe in 1777, stripe rust (SR) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f.
sp. tritici Erikss (Pst) is one of the most important and destructive diseases of wheat …

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) causes wheat stripe rust (also called yellow rust, Yr), one
of the most important diseases worldwide. Characterization of virulence in Pst populations is …

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 …

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most important
diseases of wheat worldwide. To understand the worldwide distribution of its molecular …

Barberry (Berberis spp.) is an alternate host for both the stripe rust pathogen, Puccinia
striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), and the stem rust pathogen, P. graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), infecting …

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is the causal agent of stripe (yellow) rust on wheat. It
seriously threatens wheat production worldwide. The obligate biotrophic fungus is highly …

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 …
