Effective disease management depends on timely and accurate diagnosis to guide control measures. The capacity distinguish between individuals in a pathogen population with specific properties such as fungicide resistance, toxin production virulence profiles is often essential inform approaches. genomics revolution has led technologies that can rapidly produce high-resolution genotypic information define individual variants of species. However, their application complex fungal pathogens...
Abstract Plant pathogens suppress defense responses to evade recognition and promote successful colonization. Although identifying the genes essential for pathogen ingress has traditionally relied on screening mutant populations, post-genomic era provides an opportunity develop novel approaches that accelerate identification. Here, RNA-seq analysis of 68 pathogen-infected bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties, including three (Oakley, Solstice Santiago) with variable levels...
Abstract Fungi have evolved an array of spore discharge and dispersal processes. Here, we developed a theoretical model that explains the ejection mechanics aeciospore liberation in stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis . Aeciospores are released from cluster cups formed on its Berberis host, spreading early-season inoculum into neighboring small-grain crops. Our illustrates during dew or rainfall, changes turgidity exerts substantial force aeciospores whilst gaps between spores become...
Wheat stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici is a notorious disease of wheat and barley (Leonard & Szabo, 3). In western Europe, following many decades absence started to re-emerge in 2013 with sporadic outbreaks reported Germany, Sweden Denmark (Hovmøller, 2). same year single plant infected was discovered UK, which marked first record over 60 years (Lewis et al., 4). These initial were seen as an early warning potential resurgence forgotten foe (Saunders 6)....
