Stripe Rust Appears in Idaho According to Juliet Marshall with University of Idaho Extension, Stripe Rust Has Found Its Way to Western Idaho (Parma) Forward to a friend or colleague Stripe rust appears in Idaho According to Juliet Marshall with University of Idaho Extension, stripe rust has found its way to western Idaho (Parma). Below is an image of stripe rust on UI Magic CL+ (via Oliver Neher). The growth stage of winter wheat in that area is past the window of fungicide application, and is currently in grain fill. Spring wheat is still vulnerable and susceptible varieties should be scouted for the appearance of stripe rust. In the Magic Valley and into eastern Idaho, winter wheat is heading and susceptible varieties are still vulnerable to significant yield loss associated with stripe rust infection. Stripe rust reaction of last year’s varieties in the Extension Variety Trials is reported in the 2019 Small Grains Report available online at https://www.uidaho.edu/extension/cereals/scseidaho. Please note that while some varieties were reported as resistant in 2019, race changes were reported in California by Dr. Mark Lundy (UC Davis pathologist) in this year’s crop; therefore scouting of all varieties is recommended this season. Please report observations to UI Extension in order to help tracking of the in- season spread. The weather forecast for this and especially next week is very conducive to stripe rust spread and infection. According to Xianming Chen, a research plant pathologist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Washington State University, wheat stripe rust has been reported in Oregon, Washington, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, California, Kansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Illinois; and Idaho. Barley stripe rust has been reported in California, Oregon, and Washington. Read his latest report on stripe rust Idaho soil and wheat crop conditions as of May 31 We are nearly through the first week of June, so let's take a look at crop and soil condition data via U.S. Department of Agriculture from the last week of May. On May 31, 16 percent of winter wheat had headed, which trailed progress at the same time in 2019 (26 percent) and the five-year average (33 percent). The winter wheat crop was rated as 45 percent good and 20 percent excellent. More spring wheat emerged and headed than in previous years on the same date. At the end of May, 95 percent of spring wheat emerged, which was 20 percent ahead of 2019 (73 percent) and nearly 10 percent ahead of the five-year average (87 percent). One percent of spring wheat headed (there was no data recorded for 2019 or the five-year average) according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. Soil moisture continues to grade well. Topsoil moisture was 67 percent adequate and 18 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture was 75 percent adequate and 12 percent surplus. See the USDA NASS Idaho website for more information. Global wheat stocks still high Here with your Market Line Commodity Report, I’m Tim Hammerich. Wheat prices have been faring better than some others like corn, but can prices hold considering the current global fundamentals? I asked Idaho Wheat Commission Executive Director Casey Chumrau says the world still has a lot of wheat. Chumrau… “The world has a lot of wheat. We've seen some scenes of shortages on the news in the last few months, but that really doesn't speak to how much wheat, and how many wheat stocks there are around the world. There's been, I think, seven of the last ten years where world production has outpaced consumption. And so there is a lot of wheat in the world, which of course, kind of depresses prices and affects us all the way down to the farm gate.” Read more Wheat marketing center expected to reopen mid-June The Wheat Marketing Center is scheduled to reopen in mid-June in order to conduct essential testing on the quality of the 2020 crop. Quality testing is considered an essential activity, and will begin in July, said Janice Cooper, managing director of the center. Grain elevators and inspection agencies in the Pacific Northwest collect hundreds of grain samples and test them. Last year, the center collected 728 samples. The Portland-based center provides weekly reports to global wheat buyers on how the crop looks. "Our customers are looking very closely at those reports to see what the soft white wheat and club wheat harvests are looking like this year, so they can anticipate their purchases and make sure they're going to get the wheat they want," she said. Quality, reliability of supply and technical service are the competitive advantages U.S. wheat holds in the global marketplace, Cooper said. As they prepare for opening, the center is considering new procedures for cleanliness, hygiene, social distancing, masks and gloves and staggered hours for staff, Cooper said. "The sooner we can return to some sort of normal level of activity, the better for all of us," she said. "We understand travel is going to be limited for some time, and customers are not going to be able to come to Portland for a tour. I think we all need to look at options and how we can deliver online research and technical training programs if we can't have the customers in house." The center originally planned for six training courses for customers in April and five beginning June 1. The center conducted one course for a customer in Latin America in January, Cooper said. She and technical director Jayne Bock are working on possible online tools through Oregon State University and U.S. Wheat Associates, the overseas marketing arm for the industry. Read more Flexible distribution models help bakers navigate direct store delivery demand during COVID-19 The sudden surge in retail food purchases caused by panic-buying over coronavirus (COVID-19) created a distribution crisis that had bakers rethinking their strategies. Some bakeries were well-suited to make needed adjustments and feed consumers through the unprecedented and unpredictable surge in bread sales. By adopting logistics strategies that combined direct store delivery (DSD) with foodservice routes, some bakeries had a built-in level of flexibility in case demand spiked in either channel. However, nothing could prepare them totally for what hit in March. The immediate and dramatic shift to DSD-only put some bakeries into overdrive. The long-lasting effects could forever change distribution models. Read more Shattered taboo: death of a farm and resurrection of a farmer On January 29, Lyle Benjamin’s farm died. The fifth-generation grower stopped rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and climbed overboard, leaving behind 150 years of family history: “I had a choice. I could either get in a lifeboat and salvage what I could, or stay on the ship and drag everyone else down with my pride.” Choices. Legacy. Family. Responsibility. After shuttering his farm business and liquidating assets after approximately six years of watching his operation burn through equity, the plainspoken Benjamin showed remarkable mettle and backbone, staring into the face of loss to emerge with a voice seldom heard in agriculture. He stepped to the fore and gave a candid accounting, refusing to fling blame elsewhere, bow to a taboo of silence, or gloss the pain. Shining a glaring spotlight onto the collapse of his livelihood, Benjamin contends that contrary to appearances and public sentiment, many U.S. farmers are in denial about either entering or enduring financial dire straits. Speaking in the same pragmatic, slash-and-burn mode he’s adhered to his entire life, Benjamin takes no prisoners and reveals a farmer of character intent on preserving his family and protecting the agricultural community. Cutting to the bone, he tells a farm tale rarely told. Read more Old grains, new formats bring innovation The old is new when it comes to grain ingredients. “Ancient or heritage varieties of wheats are being resurrected in local farms around the country,” said Nicholas Ahrens, senior product applications technologist, Bay State Milling Co. “Many bakers have taken to milling these whole grains themselves for an added twist on flavor, texture and marketing cache.” These “old” grains, as well as conventional ones, are being given new life in new formats such as puffs, powders and sprouted grains. “The food industry has flooded the market with many unique products that incorporate whole grains such as spelt (farro), corn, rye, barley, quinoa, amaranth, millet, sorghum, rice and teff,” said Weston Heide, vice president, trade group, The Andersons, Inc. “While these whole grains themselves aren’t necessarily new, ingredient suppliers are leveraging processing capabilities to create unique formats that can add texture, flavor and visual appeal to a finished product.” Pre-gelatinized whole grain powders bring moisture control where hydration is so critical. By using these technologies to create new formats for these grains, they are lending their nutrition, texture and flavors to new applications like bars and snacks. Read more Looking past first-quarter milling surge It was 22 years ago that the Bureau of the Census in the Department of Commerce announced that, breaking from a practice dating back decades, flour production data from the milling industry would be gathered on a quarterly rather than a monthly basis. In addition to easing the burden of reporting to the government, millers generally have found the change to quarterly data was sufficiently frequent to adequately track industry trends. When the Census Bureau stopped gathering milling data, and the task was assumed by the North American Millers’ Association for several years, no serious consideration was given to returning to monthly flour production reports. To the degree there is a downside to disseminating flour production data only once every three months, such negatives came to the fore with the production figures for the first quarter of 2020.

  • Status of Wheat Rust Research and Control in China
    Status of wheat rust research and control in China Zhensheng Kang*, Jie Zhao, Dejun Han, Hongchang Zhang, Xiaojie Wang, Chenfang Wang, Qingmei Han, Jun Guo & Lili Huang *College of Plant Protection and Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Agriculture, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Shaanxi 712100, P. R. China e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In China, wheat is grown on approximately 24 million hectares with an annual yield of 100 million tonnes. Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, is a threat mainly to spring wheat in northeastern China. Leaf rust, caused by P. triticina, occurs on crops in the late growth stages in the Yellow-Huai-Hai River regions. Stripe rust, caused by P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is destructive in all winter wheat regions and is considered the most important disease of wheat in China. During the last 20 years, widespread stripe rust epidemics occurred in 2002, 2003, and 2009, and localized epidemics occurred in many other years. In recent years, major yield losses were prevented by widespread and timely applications of fungicides based on accurate monitoring and prediction of disease epidemics. A total of 68 Pst races or pathotypes have been identified using a set of 19 differential wheat genotypes. At present, races CYR32 and CYR33 virulent to resistance genes Yr9, Yr3b, Yr4b, YrSu and some other resistance genes are predominant. Moreover, these races are virulent on many cultivars grown in recent years. Of 501 recent cultivars and breeding lines 71.9% were susceptible, 7.0% had effective all-stage resistance, mostly Yr26 (= Yr24), and 21.2% had adult-plant resistance.

Moscou Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, the causal agent of barley stripe rust, is a destructive fungal pathogen that significantly affects barley cultivation. A major constraint in breeding resistant cultivars is the lack of mapping information of resistance (R) genes and their introgression into adapted germplasm. A considerable number of R genes have been described in barley to P. striiformis f. sp. hordei, but only a few loci have been mapped. Previously, Chen and Line (1999) reported two recessive seedling resistance loci in the Ethiopian landrace HOR 1428. In this study, we map two loci that confer resistance to P. striiformis f. sp. hordei in HOR 1428, which are located on chromosomes 3H and 5H. Both loci act as additive effect QTLs, each explaining approximately 20% of the phenotypic variation.

The purpose of the NPDRS is to insure that the tools, infrastructure, communication networks, and capacity required to mitigate the impact of high consequence plant disease outbreaks are such that a reasonable level of crop production is maintained. The disease-specific plans are intended to provide a brief primer on the disease, assess the status of critical recovery components and identify disease management research needs. These documents are not intended to be stand-alone documents that address all of the many and varied aspects of plant disease outbreak, response, and recovery. They are documents that USDA will use to guide further efforts directed toward plant disease recovery. Executive Summary Three fungal diseases of wheat, leaf rust, stem rust, and stripe rust, are commonly found on a world wide basis, including the United States. Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most common and widespread disease of wheat in the U.S.

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11872-9 OPEN An ancestral NB-LRR with duplicated 3′UTRs confers stripe rust resistance in wheat and barley Chaozhong Zhang 1,2,9, Lin Huang3,9, Huifei Zhang2, Qunqun Hao2, Bo Lyu2, Meinan Wang4, Lynn Epstein 5, Miao Liu 3, Chunlan Kou3, Juan Qi 1, Fengjuan Chen1, Mengkai Li1, Ge Gao1, Fei Ni 1, Lianquan Zhang 3, Ming Hao3, Jirui Wang3, Xianming Chen 6, Ming-Cheng Luo 7, Youliang Zheng3, Jiajie Wu 1, Dengcai Liu 3,8 & Daolin Fu 2 1234567890():,; Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a global threat to wheat production. Aegilops tauschii, one of the wheat progenitors, carries the YrAS2388 locus for resistance to Pst on chromosome 4DS. We reveal that YrAS2388 encodes a typical nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR). The Pst-resistant allele YrAS2388R has dupli- cated 3’ untranslated regions and is characterized by alternative splicing in the nucleotide- binding domain. Mutation of the YrAS2388R allele disrupts its resistance to Pst in synthetic hexaploid wheat; transgenic plants with YrAS2388R show resistance to eleven Pst races in common wheat and one race of P. striiformis f. sp. hordei in barley. The YrAS2388R allele occurs only in Ae. tauschii and the Ae. tauschii-derived synthetic wheat; it is absent in 100% (n = 461) of common wheat lines tested. The cloning of YrAS2388R will facilitate breeding for stripe rust resistance in wheat and other Triticeae species. 1 State Key Laboratory of Crop Biology, Shandong Agricultural University, 271018 Tai’an, Shandong, China. 2 Department of Plant Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844, USA.

  • Sounding the Alarm on Global Stem Rust
    Foreword Norman E. Borlaug Stem rust is a catastrophic disease because of its ability to cause complete annihilation of wheat crops over wide areas. The use of genetic resistance in the major stem rust-prone regions of the world and the organized distribution of resistant germplasm through the International Rust Nursery scheme supported by the USDA and the Rockefeller Foundation, and later replaced by the CIMMYT nursery network, provided ongoing and updated sources of resistant germplasm to the international breeding community. In return, collaborating groups gave feedback on the responses of materials in their respective regions. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, great emphasis was placed on data that came from Kenya, Egypt, and southern Africa. The widespread use of stem rust resistant cultivars such as Red Egyptian, Kenya Farmer, Africa 43 and later, lines like Kenya Page and Africa Mayo, points to the key role of East Africa in the development of genetic resources that led to the global decline of stem rust. The stem rust threat was a primary reason for the establishment of the Rockefeller Foundation- sponsored program in Mexico, the predecessor of CIMMYT. The semi-dwarf, stem rust resistant, widely adapted spring wheat germplasm generated by this program led to the Green Revolution. Much of the material possessed the historically durable “Sr2 complex” from Hope and other well-known stem rust resistance genes. The widespread use of the 1BL.1RS translocation with Sr31 and its continuing stem rust protection on a worldwide basis has led to complacency throughout the wheat community. The discovery of race Ug99 with virulence for Sr31 and other important genes in Uganda in 1999, and possibly earlier in Kenya, was a reminder of the pathogen’s ability to respond, but little seems to have happened in breeding programs until the emergence of current concerns following the continued incidence and spread of race Ug99 in Eastern Africa.
