Puccinia horiana Hennings, the causal agent of chrysanthemum white rust, is a worldwide quarantine organism and one of the most important fungal pathogens of Chrysanthemum × morifolium cultivars, which are used for cut flowers and as potted plants in commercial production regions of the world. It was previously reported to be controlled by Lecanicillium lecanii, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, C. ...

Russian knapweed (Rhaponticum repens) is a rangeland weed pest in the western United States. One candidate fungus for biological control of R. repens is Puccinia acroptili, which causes a rust disease. Understanding the life cycle of candidate rust fungi for weed biological control is an essential component in risk assessments and evaluations, and for P. acroptili such was unknown. For this rea...

Conidial formation and secession by living conidiophores of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei on barley leaves were consecutively monitored using a high-fidelity digital microscopic technique combined with electrostatic micromanipulation to trap the released conidia. Conidial chains formed on conidiophores through a series of septum-mediated division and growth of generative cells. Apical conidia...

ABSTRACT A total of 78 isolates of Puccinia triticina from durum wheat from Argentina, Chile, Ethiopia, France, Mexico, Spain and the United States and 10 representative isolates of P. triticina from common wheat from the United States were tested for virulence phenotypes on seedling plants of 35 near-isogenic lines of Thatcher wheat. Isolates with virulence on lines with leaf rust resistance g...

significant role in the rejection of the pathogen,i'2) Avenalumins consist of 3 components; the chemical structure ef the major component, avenalumin t, has been established to be 2-[2-(4hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]-6-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-onc (1), based on an MS analysis of its acetylated derivative and identification of the methanolysis products.3) However, chem{cal studies by Crombie and Mistry4) ha...

ABSTRACT The genetic relationships between isolates of Puccinia triticina virulent on wheat with the Lr26 resistance gene were studied. The diversity within and between isolates of P. triticina from Israel, Europe, and the United States was determined by virulence on near-isogenic Thatcher lines and by random amplified polymorphic DNA. According to the molecular markers, isolates that were viru...

The aim of the present research was to test the transferability of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed in two Uredinales species to Hemileia vastatrix, coffee rust. The development of efficient techniques for the identification of H. vastatrix isolates is imperative, given the continuous development of new races. The transferability of 25 SSR markers developed in the related Uredinal...

Puccinia psidii, the cause of a disease today commonly referred to as Myrtle rust, is considered a high priority quarantine threat globally. It has a wide host range in the Myrtaceae and it is feared that it may result in significant damage to native ecosystems where these plants occur. The fungus is also of considerable concern to plantation forestry industries that propagate Australian Eucaly...

Background. Preservation and expansion of the source material genetic diversity its purposeful use is basis for development adaptable spring durum wheat cultivars environments Western Siberia. Materials methods. The target research included promising Triticum Desf. developed in Spring Durum Wheat Breeding Laboratory Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center as well gene pool lines obtained under CIMMYT I...

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs), which are encoded by conserved gene families in plants, crucial for development and responses to diverse stresses. However, the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) HSPs have not been systematically classified, especially those involved protecting plants from disease. Here, we classified 119 DnaJ (Hsp40) (TaDnaJs; 313 genes) 41 Hsp70 (TaHsp70s; 95 into six four groups, respe...
