Rust fungi are cosmopolitan in distribution and parasitize a wide range of plants, including economically important crop species such as wheat. Detailed regional, national, and continental surveys of pathogenic variability in wheat-attacking rust pathogens over periods of up to 90 years have shown that in the absence of sexual recombination, genetic diversity is generated by periodic introduction of exotic isolates, single-step mutation, and somatic hybridization. Laboratory studies have…

Nonhost resistance to rust pathogens – a continuation of continua
- BiologyFront. Plant Sci.

It is highlighted how the quantitative nature of disease resistance in these intermediate interactions is caused by a continuum of defense barriers, which a pathogen needs to overcome for successfully establishing itself in the host.
Emergence of the Ug99 lineage of the wheat stem rust pathogen through somatic hybridisation
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2019
It is shown that Ug99 arose by somatic hybridisation and nuclear exchange between dikaryons, and shares one haploid nucleus genotype with a much older African lineage of Pgt, with no recombination or reassortment.
Extensive somatic nuclear exchanges shape global populations of the wheat leaf rust pathogen Puccinia triticina
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2022
Haplotype-specific phylogenetic analysis of Puccinia triticina reveals that repeated somatic exchange events have shuffled haploid nuclei between long-term clonal lineages, leading to a global population representing different combinations of a limited number of haploid genomes.
Whole-genome sequencing of multiple isolates of Puccinia triticina reveals asexual lineages evolving by recurrent mutations

The results suggest that recurrent mutation and selection play a major role in differentiation within the clonal lineages of P. triticina.
Population genomics of Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici highlights the role of admixture in the origin of virulent wheat rust races
- BiologyNature Communications

This study uses long-read sequencing to develop a haplotype-resolved genome assembly of a U.S. isolate of Pgt and shows that SVs and admixture events appear to play an important role in broadening Pgt virulence and the origin of highly virulent races.
Pathogenomic Analysis of Wheat Yellow Rust Lineages Detects Seasonal Variation and Host Specificity
- BiologyGenome biology and evolution

This analysis revealed that P. striiformis lineages recently detected in Europe are extremely diverse and in fact similar to globally dispersed populations, and identified a considerable shift in the UK P.striiformis population structure including the first identification of one infamous race known as Kranich.
Multinuclei Occurred Under Cryopreservation and Enhanced the Pathogenicity of Melampsora larici-populina
- BiologyFrontiers in Microbiology

The multinuclear isolate is different from the wild-type isolate in terms of phenotype and genotype; this multinucleation phenomenon in urediniospores improves the pathogenesis and environmental fitness of M. larici-populina.
Inheritance and Linkage of Virulence Genes in Chinese Predominant Race CYR32 of the Wheat Stripe Rust Pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici

Comparisons with previous studies indicated complex interactions between virulence genes in the pathogen and resistance genes in wheat lines and the results are useful for understanding the plant-pathogen interactions and developing wheat cultivars with effective and durable resistance.

Production of New Physiologic Races in Puccinia striiformis (Yellow Rust) by Heterokaryosis

Mutation and cytoplasmic change are possible causes of the production of new races, but it seemed to us that heterokaryosis or parasexual phenomena in the uredospore stage (both known in P. graminis) could be involved.

Data is suggested that BGYR is a new forma specialis of P. striiformis, likely to have little impact on commercial barley, although this may change with further pathotype evolution or the release of susceptible cultivars.
