Background The wheat stripe rust fungus (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, PST) is responsible for significant yield losses in production worldwide. In spite of its economic importance, the PST genomic sequence not currently available. Fortunately Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has radically improved sequencing speed and efficiency with a great reduction costs compared to traditional technologies. We used Illumina rapidly access highly virulent race 130 (PST-130). Methodology/Principal...
Abstract Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ), is a global threat to wheat production. Aegilops tauschii , one of the progenitors, carries YrAS2388 locus for resistance on chromosome 4DS. We reveal that encodes typical nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR). The -resistant allele YrAS2388R has duplicated 3’ untranslated regions and characterized alternative splicing in nucleotide-binding domain. Mutation disrupts its synthetic hexaploid...
Abstract Three members of the Puccinia genus, Pucciniatriticina (Pt), P. striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), and graminis (Pgt), cause most common often significant foliar diseases wheat.

In greenhouse seedling tests seven Pst races, 16 all tested races. The also phenotyped responses at stage under natural infection...
SUMMARY Stripe rust [caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. ( Pst )] is a destructive disease of wheat Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Genetic resistance the preferred method for control and Yr5 gene, originally identified in spelta var. album , represents major R ) gene that confers all‐stage to all currently known races United States. To identify transcripts associated with ‐mediated incompatible interaction yr5 ‐compatible interaction, Wheat GeneChip was used...
Winter wheat Druchamp has both high-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance and all-stage to stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The HTAP in is durable as the variety been resistant stage since it was introduced from France United States late 1940s. To map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance, an F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population cross × Michigan Amber phenotyped response multiple years fields under natural infection with selected Pst races...
Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most serious plant diseases worldwide. Resistant cultivars are effective way to control disease. YrTr1 an important rust resistance gene that has been used in wheat breeding programs and represented host differential set identify P. tritici races United States. To map YrTr1, AvSYrTr1NIL was backcrossed its recurrent parent Avocet S (AvS). Seedlings BC 7 F 2 , 3 8 1 populations were tested with YrTr1-avirulent...
Stripe rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, continues to cause severe damage worldwide. Durable resistance is necessary for sustainable control the disease. High-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance, which expresses when weather becomes warm and plants grow older, has been demonstrated be durable. We conducted numerous studies understand molecular mechanisms different types stripe using a transcriptomics approach. Through comparing gene expression patterns with...
Puccinia striiformis causes stripe rust on wheat, barley, and grasses. Natural population studies have indicated that somatic recombination plays a possible role in P. variation. To determine whether can occur, susceptible wheat or barley plants were inoculated with mixed urediniospores of paired isolates striiformis. Progeny selected by passing through series inoculations genotypes. Potential recombinant compared the parental set 18 12 genotypes are used to differentiate races f. sp....
Plant fungal pathogens can rapidly evolve and adapt to new environmental conditions in response sudden changes of host populations agro-ecosystems. However, the genomic basis their adaptation, especially at forma specialis level, remains unclear. We sequenced two isolates each representing Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) P. hordei (Psh), different formae speciales stripe rust fungus highly adapted wheat barley, respectively. The divergence Pst Psh, estimated start 8.12 million...
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), poses a major threat to wheat production worldwide, especially in the United States. To identify loci for effective stripe rust resistance U.S. wheat, genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using panel of 616 spring cultivars and breeding lines. The accessions this were phenotyped response greenhouse at seedling stage with five predominant highly virulent races Pst different field environments adult-plant 2017...
Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a serious disease of wheat in the United States and many other countries. Growing resistant cultivars has been approved to be best approach for control stripe rust. To determine rust resistance genes U.S. winter breeding lines, we analyzed panel 857 lines genome-wide association study (GWAS) using genotyping multiplexed sequencing (GMS) with molecular markers 18 important or quantitative trait loci...
Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) causes wheat stripe rust (also called yellow rust, Yr), one of the most important diseases worldwide.

Abstract Plant pathogens rapidly evolve in response to changes their hosts and environments, resulting destructive epidemics. The fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ), responsible for wheat stripe rust disease, exemplifies such evolutionary dynamics. Host population impose selective pressures on pathogens; however, the selection footprints demographic patterns of are not well understood. In this study, we performed whole‐genome sequencing 69 isolates collected from diverse...
