The fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is an important threat to wheat production because it can cause stripe rust. present study aimed to identify new rust resistance genes and provide a theoretical practical basis for breeding varieties with broad spectrum, stable, durable resistance. Wheat leaves inoculated Chinese yellow 34 were collected at different time points tran...

Rust diseases remain a significant threat to the production of most cereals including wheat. New sources of resistance are continually sought by breeders to combat the emergence of new pathogen races. Rice is atypical in that it is an intensively grown cereal with no known rust pathogen. The resistance of rice to cereal rust diseases is referred to as nonhost resistance (NHR), a resistance mech...

rust caused by phakopsora pachyrhizi syd. is a major constraint to soybean product in asia. early detection and possibilities of controlling plant diseases by the integration of several image processing methods has been the subject of extensive research. the main contribution of this paper is to present different methodologies for quantitatively detecting soybean rust at each stage of disease d...

Brown (common) rust has recently been prevalent in the South African sugar industry, particularly on N29, a sugarcane variety that is often severely affected by the disease. Cool, moist conditions have favoured the development of rust, but there has been a tendency for more severe infections to be associated with well grown sugarcane. To investigate this observation, two parallel rows, one with...

This paper presents a practical classification system for recognising diseased wheat leaves and consists of a number of components. Pre-processing is performed to adjust the orientation of the primary leaf in the image using a Fourier Transform. A Wavelet Transform is then applied to partially remove low frequency information or background in the image. Subsequently, the diseased regions of the...

Rusts are important pathogens of angiosperms and gymnosperms including cereal crops and forest trees. With respect to cereals, rust fungi are among the most important pathogens. Cereal rusts are heteroecious and macrocyclic requiring two taxonomically unrelated hosts to complete a five spore stage life cycle. Cereal rust fungi are highly variable for virulence and molecular polymorphism. Leaf r...

A number of different fungal hyperparasites have been observed to grow in pustules of rust fungi. Examples of these are Verticillium (HASSEBRAUK 1936, KOTTHoFF 1937, GAMS 1971), Darluca fi/um (KRANz 1973), Monocillium nordinii (TSUNEDA and HIRATSUKA 1980), Alternaria and Cladosporium species (OMAR and HEATHER 1979). Verticillium lecanii may be the most interesting fungus for biological control ...

Areca nut (Areca catechu L.) is one of the leading plantation commodities in Jambi Province which has high economic value and plays an important role as a source foreign exchange for country. plants are most widely located Betara District, West Tanjung Jabung Regency. To increase yield areca nut, it necessary to know diseases that attack percentage disease attack. It useful control nut. This st...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) brown rust (caused by Puccinia melanocephala H. & P. Sydow) was first reported in the United States in 1978 and is still one of the great challenges for sugarcane production. A better understanding of sugarcane genotypic variation in response to brown rust will help optimize breeding and selection strategies for disease resistance. Brown rust ratings were scaled from ...

during the study on rust mycobiota of central alborz, several rust infected specimens belonging to salicaceae family including populus and salix species were investigated. populus nigra, p. euphratica, saix alba and s. excelsa were infected by various melampsora species. uredinial (ii) and telial (iii) stages of rust were present on infected plants. according to morphological characters, five f...
