"We have Minnesota, said there are frequent epidemics of the disease reported in the United States, Canada, Eu- rope, Asia and South Amer- ica. The fungus is also a men- ace to the barley industry. Gill noted that since the 1997 outbreak in Minnesota, malting barley is rarely grown in the upper Midwest because the industry imple- mented zero tolerance for the toxin Deoxynivalenol produced by fusarium. Previously, the wheat variety known to best resist Fusarium head blight was a Chinese cultivar named Sumai 3. But while scientists knew Sumai 3 provided resistance, they didn't know what DNA sequence was responsible for resistance — until now. Kansas State University faculty and students used sophisticated wheat genome sequencing tech- niques to isolate the gene. Gill said that Eduard Akhunov, associate professor of plant pathology, prepared a library of "millions of clones" of Sumai 3 DNA. Lead scientists Nidhi Rawat at the University of Mary- land and Mike Pumphrey at Washington State Universi- ty sifted through the library. "It's like searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack to find one clone that contained the resistance gene," Gill said. "It looks like when the fungus attacks the wheat plant, the resistance gene protein has domains for binding and making pores in the cell wall of the fungus, and stopping it from spreading and infecting the developing grain," he said. Traditional and molecu- lar wheat breeding will benefit from the finding, Gill said. Without knowing the DNA source of this resistance, scientists would have to grow wheat in a field, hope for the right growing conditions to test new varieties against the disease, and then reproduce successful varieties for future years. Instead, processes that would take years to repli- cate can be done in a fairly short amount of time in a di- agnostics lab. 11-8-16 sect. 1.qxp:Layout 1 11/3/16 1:00 PM Page 9

Important deadline near for pasture,

rangeland,The USDA’s Risk forage Management insurance Agency (RMA) reminds farmers and ranchers in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska the final date to apply for insurance coverage on pasture, rangeland, or forage acres for 2017 is November 15. The Rainfall Index Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) pilot program provides coverage to protect livestock operations from the risks of forage losses on acreage being grazed or harvested for hay. Current policyholders who want to make a change to an existing policy can do so until the November 15, 2016, sales closing date. PRF is an area-based plan of insurance that uses a rainfall index to determine losses and trigger indemnities. The rainfall index uses National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad- ministration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center precipitation data. Each grid is individually rated based on the data for that grid. The rainfall index is designed to insure against a decline in an index value that is based on the long-term historical average precipitation for the same area for the same period. It is important for ranchers and farmers to understand that payments are not based on individual rain gauges on their farm or a single weather station. Online tools are available to assist producers to determine how well the program correlated with their past forage production. Index tables provide historical information ranchers can use to decide whether this plan is right for them and a decision support tool are available on the RMA PRF webpage. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Producers can use the RMA Cost Esti- mator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www. rma.usda.gov.
