Jackson Director for International Cooperation, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to I C R I S A T and to this conference on rust disease of groundnut. When I visited I C R I S A T in 1980 I was impressed by the work being done on groundnut problems and, since coming to work here in 1983, I have similarly been impressed by the work on this and the other ICRISAT mandate crops. We are here to discuss groundnut rust, and I consider this to be both timely and appropriate. In comparison with leaf-spot diseases, very little is known about ground• nut rust. A few years ago I tried to assemble the world literature on this subject and found it to be limited, the disease being regarded as a curiosity confined to the Caribbean and South America. I distinctly remember Ray Hammons, who is in our group today, going out to his groundnut plots in Georgia to see this "curiosity" of groundnut rust that had presumably been carried to our North American crop by the violent winds from the Caribbean. While rust is still regarded as a visitor to the USA, it is no longer a curiosity there, and it is now established in Asia, Australia, and Africa. The spread around the world of groundnut rust in the past two decades has taken place despite quarantine precautions and care in the exchange of germplasm. Rapid air travel may have assisted the natural spread of the rust on winds and by storms. Irrespective of how it was spread, we now have to live with it. Groundnut rust is now an important disease in many countries of the world and therefore has high priority in our I C R I S A T research program. Our research has been carried out mainly at I C R I S A T Center, but we also have established a program for groundnut research in southern Africa that is based in Malawi, and hope to initiate a similar unit in West Africa in the near future. We would like to establish a network of scientists concerned with research on groundnut rust throughout the world, and hope that you will consider yourselves as part of this group with interest in rust, and indeed, in other diseases of groundnut. I hope that you will give a great deal of thought to the groundnut rust problem over the next few days and that in the concluding session on Friday you will jointly determine the direction of the research on the disease at I C R I S A T , and perhaps how your own research as cooperators should proceed. I wish you every success in your deliberations. v Research on Groundnut Rust at ICRISAT Origin, Distribution, and Taxonomy of Arachis and Sources of Resistance to Groundnut Rust (Puccinia arachidis Speg.) V. Ramanatha Rao1 Abstract The natural occurrence of the genus Arachis is limited to five countries, i.e., Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The headwaters of the Paraguay river in the region of Mato Grosso is considered to be the center of origin of the genus. The taxonomy of the genus is not well delineated and the grouping of species into seven sections is only tentative; there may be as many as 70 species in the genus Arachis. The cultivated groundnut, Arachis hypogaea L., originated in an area of southern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina on the eastern slopes of the Andes. This species is subdivided into subspecies and botanical varieties that have been found to have a specific geographic distribution in South America. Groundnut rust, caused by Puccinia arachidis Speg., is one of the major diseases of groundnut. It probably originated in South America and evolved along with the host species. Most of the 39 groundnut accessions identified as rust-resistant at ICRISAT belong to the ribbed Valencia type and originated in Peru. So it is concluded that resistance to rust in the cultivated groundnut may have also originated in Peru. Hence there is a need for pointed collection in Peru to enrich and broaden the available gene pool. Wild Arachis species belonging to different sections have been found to be either resistant or immune to rust. Efforts are under way to utilize such resistance for groundnut improvement. Observations in the native habitat have indicated that wild Arachis might be infected by rust and other diseases to a greater extent than expected. More research is required in South America to investigate possible pathogenic variation and resistance to rust in wild Arachis species.

  • Monocyclic Components for Evaluating Disease Resistance to Cercospora Arachidicola and Cercosporidium Personatum in Peanut
    Monocyclic Components for Evaluating Disease Resistance to Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum in Peanut by Limin Gong A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 6, 2016 Keywords: monocyclic components, disease resistance Copyright 2016 by Limin Gong Approved by Kira L. Bowen, Chair, Professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Y. Chen, Associate Professor of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences John F. Murphy, Professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology Jeffrey J. Coleman, Assisstant Professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an economically important crop that is produced in the United States and throughout the world. However, there are two major fungal pathogens of cultivated peanuts, and they each contribute to substantial yield losses of 50% or greater. The pathogens of these diseases are Cercospora arachidicola which causes early leaf spot (ELS), and Cercosporidium personatum which causes late leaf spot (LLS). While fungicide treatments are fairly effective for leaf spot management, disease resistance is still the best strategy. Therefore, it is important to evaluate and compare different genotypes for their disease resistance levels. The overall goal of this study was to determine resistance levels of different peanut genotypes to ELS and LLS. The peanut genotypes (Chit P7, C1001, Exp27-1516, Flavor Runner 458, PI 268868, and GA-12Y) used in this study include two genetically modified lines (Chit P7 and C1001) that over-expresses a chitinase gene. This overall goal was addressed with three specific objectives: 1) determine suitable conditions for pathogen culture and spore production in vitro; 2) determine suitable conditions for establishing infection in the greenhouse; 3) compare ELS and LLS disease reactions of young plants to those of older plants.

  • CHARACTERIZING PEANUT RUST RESISTANCE: DETERMINING ITS MECHANISMS, and the GENETICS of the PEANUT HOST and PUCCINIA ARACHIDIS By
    CHARACTERIZING PEANUT RUST RESISTANCE: DETERMINING ITS MECHANISMS, AND THE GENETICS OF THE PEANUT HOST AND PUCCINIA ARACHIDIS by IMANA LEGISAH POWER (Under the Direction of Albert K. Culbreath) ABSTRACT Peanut rust, caused by Puccinia arachidis Speg., is an important foliar disease of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in tropical countries. Host resistance is the best option for disease management in these countries. Field, green house and growth chamber experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of peanut breeding lines with Bolivian genetic background, parents of mapping populations and peanut cultivars used in Georgia, U.S. to peanut rust. In field studies conducted over 2010-2013, several breeding lines developed in the UF150 project of the Peanut Collaborative Research and Support Program (Peanut CRSP) as part of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) demonstrated varying levels of rust resistance, and a select few were resistant to late leaf spot, caused by Cercosporidium personatum, as well. The greenhouse and growth chamber assays revealed that infection frequency and percent diseased area can be used as indicators for field resistance, as genotypes with longer latent periods typically had low infection frequency at 7 days after inoculation and smaller percent diseased areas. Newly developed CRSP breeding lines, plant introductions and commonly grown cultivars, were molecularly characterized using polymorphic SSR markers. These markers used detected polymorphisms but were not able to distinguish resistant from susceptible peanut genotypes. None of the 22 private bands generated for the resistant population were absolute and no marker alleles could be exclusively linked to all resistant or all susceptible genotypes.

A single species of rust fungi may produce up to five morphologically and cytologically distinct spore-producing structures thereby attracting the interest of mycologist for centuries. In India, the research on rust fungi started with the arrival of foreign visiting scientists or emigrant experts, mainly from Britain who collected fungi and sent specimens to European laboratories for identification. Later on, a number of mycologists from India and abroad studied Indian rust fungi and contributed a lot to knowledge of the rusts to the Indian Mycobiota.

Of these, six strains morphologically resembled the asexual morphs of Aureobasidium 18S and Hormonema (sexual morphs ?Sydowia), but were phylogenetically distinct. A 28S rDNA phylogeny resolved 28S strains as a distinct clade in Dothideales with families Aureobasidiaceae and Dothideaceae their closest relatives. BenA Further analyses based on the ITS rDNA region, β-tubulin, 28S rDNA, and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit black yeast confirmed the distinct status of this clade and divided strains among two consistent subclades. As a result, we Dothidiomycetes introduce a new genus and two new species as Zalaria alba and Z. obscura, and a new family to accommodate them in ITS Dothideales. Zalaria is a black yeast-like fungus, grows restrictedly and produces conidiogenous cells with holoblastic RPB2 synchronous or percurrent conidiation.

Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system.

Received: 13-03-2018 Accepted: 30-07-2018 DOI: 10.18805/LR-416 ABSTRACT Sustainable groundnut production can be realised through development and adoption of high yielding cultivars possessing durable rust resistance. Integrating conventional breeding with genomic tools in identifying candidate rust resistance genes, and introgressing the genes into adapted elite germplasm, with the aid of molecular makers, could enhance breeding for rust resistance. This review highlights breeding approaches for groundnut rust resistance, with emphasis on integrating conventional breeding with marker-assisted selection. The life cycle, symptoms and epidemiology of the pathogen are also discussed to understand the host-pathogen interaction and guide groundnut rust resistance breeding. Key words: Epidemiology, Groundnut rust, Host resistance, Marker-assisted selection, Puccinia arachidis.
