The objective of this study was to investigate the re-emergence of a previously important
crop pathogen in Europe, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, causing wheat stem rust. The …

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

Wheat is an important source of dietary protein and daily calories for majority of the world's
population. Although several pests and diseases affect yield potential and quality, the three …

Frequent emergence of new variants in the Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Ug99 race group in
Kenya has made pathogen survey a priority. We analyzed 140 isolates from 78 P. graminis f …

Control of stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, a highly destructive fungal
disease of wheat, faces continuous challenges from emergence of new virulent races across …

Key message A new stem rust resistance gene Sr59 from Secale cereale was introgressed
into wheat as a 2DS· 2RL Robertsonian translocation. Abstract Emerging new races of the …

Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) remains a constraint to wheat
production in East Africa. In this study, we characterized the genetics of stem rust resistance …

Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), has re-emerged as one of the
major concerns for global wheat production since the evolution of Ug99 and other virulent …

A wheat rust survey was conducted in Iraq in 2019 and collected 27 stem rust (caused by
Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici Erikks. & E. Henn.) samples. Seven samples were …

Background The narrow genetic basis of resistance in modern wheat cultivars and the
strong selection response of pathogen populations have been responsible for periodic and …
