Phenology of kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata) along a ~800 km transect in the U.S. was characterized in 2003 and 2004 to assess the potential for kudzu to serve as an inoculum source for occurrence of ASR and subsequent spread to the north central soybean growing regions. Also, the occurrence, distribution, and growing periods of six potential hosts of P. pachyrhizi (including kudzu and soybean), in Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico, were delineated. Sampling data revealed that bud break of kudzu plants in the two consecutive years of study occurred as early as April 7 from southern Louisiana (29.8 N latitude) to northern Mississippi (35.0 N latitude); kudzu green leaf area index decreased linearly with increasingly northern latitude (R2 and regression coefficient = 0.750 & –0.097, respectively, for 2003 and 0.654 & –0.384 for 2004). Further, results of modeling predicted that in southern Mississippi (31.5 N latitude), kudzu plants broke dormancy in the second and first week of March in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Modeling also showed that kudzu vines may break dormancy prior to March 1st in areas of southern and central Florida and southern Louisiana. Amount of kudzu foliage increased abruptly from April to May and June. Five out of the six hosts investigated in Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico, were found to occur in such regions. Occurrence of selected hosts in each region was documented and maps of distribution and cultivation period schemes were generated. 1 CHAPTER 1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION Thesis organization This thesis is organized in five chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction, which includes three sections: a description of the organization of the thesis itself, a brief introduction that deals with the importance of this study, and a list of the bibliographic references cited in this introduction. The second chapter is a literature review in which I have compiled relevant topics that can help better explain the objectives and focus of this study. Information on the ecology of soybean rust, its causal agent, an update of its current global distribution, and recent findings reports in the U.S., has been included. Also, included in this chapter is some information concerning kudzu as an additional component in the pathosystem of soybean rust. A list of the references reviewed appears at the end of this chapter. The third and fourth chapters are two separate studies. The first one is an analysis of the importance of kudzu plants in the epidemiology of soybean rust in the U.S., to be submitted to the Plant Health Progress Journal. The second study is a documentation of the occurrence, distribution, and growing periods of suitable hosts of Phakopsora pachyrhizi in Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico. The last chapter contains the general conclusions of this study and acknowledgments to institutions and people who provided assistance in

Ex DC.) is an underutilized leguminous crop which has been used as a food source across central America and Asia. It is adapted to a range of environments and is closely related to major leguminous food crops, offering the potential to understand the genetic basis of environmental adaptation, and it may be used as a source of novel genes and alleles for the improvement of other legumes. Here, we assembled a draft genome of P. erosus of 460 Mbp in size containing 37,886 gene models. We used this assembly to compare three cultivars each of P. erosus and the closely related P. tuberosus and identified 10,187,899 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The SNP distribution reflects the geographic origin and morphology of the individuals.

ABSTRACT General aspects in the Phakopsoraceae family importance, philogenetic affinities within genera, hosts range, geografic distribution and life cycles are presented. Key words: Uredinales, Phakopsoraceae. INTRODUCCION Dentro del concepto de clasificación taxonómica, la agrupación en familias, para el Orden Uredinales (Fungi: Basidiomycota: Heterobasidiomycia), no ha sido aún, bien desarrollado y por ende su uso común y rutinario es incipiente, obviado o rechazado. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha despertado mucho interés en este tópico, dentro de los Uredinólogos, debido a los avances obtenidos en el conocimiento de los distintos géneros estudiados como grupos (Cummins, 1959; Cummins e Hiratsuka, 1983); al valor taxonómico de los espermogonios en el nivel supragenérico (Hiratsuka y Cummins, 1963); a los estudios globales de los uredinios (Sathe, 1977); a los estudios de evolución, diversidad y delimitación de grupos de géneros dentro de las familias u órdenes de las plantas hospedantes (Leppik, 1972; Savile, 1976, 1979); a los estudios morfológicos aplicados a las variantes evolutivas de las estructuras en los ciclos de vida (Hennen y Buriticá, 1980), especialmente, en Endophyllaceae (Buriticá, 1991) y Pucciniosireae (Buriticá y Hennen, 1980); a los estudios sobre la ontogenia de los esporos (Hughes, 1970); y, al tratamiento sistemático de varios grupos, como Pucciniosireae (Buriticá y Hennen, 1980), géneros Chaconiaceos (Ono, 1983), Raveneliaceae (Leppik, 1972; Savile, 1989) y Phakopsoraceae (Buriticá, 1994, 1998).

  • (Pueraria Montana Var. Lobata Willd) in North Carolina
    ABSTRACT THORNTON, MELISSA ROSE. Arthopod Fauna Associated With Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata Willd) In North Carolina. (Under the direction of David Orr.) The purpose of this research was to obtain background information to aid the implementation of a biological control program against the weed, kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata Willd). This research had several specific objectives that examined: 1) potential insect pollinators and seed production of kudzu in NC; 2) phytophagous insects and insect herbivory of kudzu foliage, seeds, vines and roots in NC; 3) abundance and diversity of foliar, vine, and root feeding insect communities on kudzu in comparison with those found on soybeans, the closest North American relative of kudzu in the United States. Kudzu is pollinated by native and naturalized insects in NC, in a pattern that varies by flower apparency rather than density. Arthropod herbivory by native generalists almost eliminated kudzu seed viability, while a naturalized Asian specialist consumed a nominal proportion of seeds. These data indicate that seed feeding arthropods would be poor candidates for importation biological control. Kudzu and soybeans shared the same foliar feeding insect communities and levels of defoliation, suggesting that foliage feeders are also poor choices for importation. No kudzu vine or root feeding insects or damage were found during the two years of this study, suggesting that future importation biological control research should focus on such feeders from Asia.
