Research investment implications of shifts in the global geography of wheat stripe rust

The geographic extent of stripe rust, a fungal disease that adversely affects wheat production, has increased in recent decades. Observations and model simulations suggest that over 5 million tonnes of wheat are lost to this pathogen each year, necessitating a sustained annual investment of at least US$32 million into rust resistance research.

A pathogen-induced putative NAC transcription factor mediates leaf rust resistance in barley

Rph7 is a previously mapped barley leaf rust resistance locus, but the causal resistance gene remains unclear. Here, combining a fine mapping approach with RNA-Seq based analysis, the authors clone Rph7 and show it encodes putative NAC transcription factor containing a C-terminal BED domain.

Emergence of the Ug99 lineage of the wheat stem rust pathogen through somatic hybridisation

Strain Ug99 of the wheat stem rust pathogen, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, is a major threat to global food security. Here, the authors present genomic analyses supporting that Ug99 arose as a result of non-sexual genetic exchange between dikaryotic ancestors.

Nonlinear shifts in infectious rust disease due to climate change

Climate change is expected to have major impacts on forest tree diseases. Here the authors analyse long-term data of white pine blister rust in the southern Sierra Nevada, finding evidence of climate change-driven disease range expansion that was mediated by spatially varying host-pathogen-drought interactions.

Large iron deposits formed episodically in the Archaean oceans. Experimental data and geochemical modelling suggest that green rust was an important contributor to the formation of these deposits and the Archaean iron cycle in general.

Green rust, a common mineral in Precambrian oceans, forms as a by-product of mackinawite partial oxidation by uranium, along with uraninite and polysulphide. This process is accompanied by a large uranium isotope fractionation, according to isotopic uranium concentrations obtained from experimental data.

Aeciospore ejection in the rust pathogen Puccinia graminis is driven by moisture ingress

Bueno-Sancho et al. use high-speed videography and mathematical modelling to examine aeciospore dispersal mechanics of the stem rust fungus Puccinia graminis. Their model shows that aeciospore ejection is driven by peridium rupture and moisture ingress, with dispersal projections encapsulated in a web interface to help assess risk of disease spread to nearby cereal crops.

Potential for re-emergence of wheat stem rust in the United Kingdom

They find that only 20% of UK wheat varieties are resistant to this strain and urge growers to resume resistance breeding programs.
