Wheat is one of the primary staple foods throughout the planet. Significant yield gains in
wheat production over the past 40 years have resulted in a steady balance of supply versus …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food for about 40% of the world's population. As the
global population has grown and living standards improved, high yield and improved …

The fungal kingdom comprises some of the most devastating plant pathogens. Sequencing
the genomes of fungal pathogens has shown a remarkable variability in genome size and …

Wheat is grown worldwide in diverse geographical regions, environments, and production
systems. Although many diseases and pests are known to reduce grain yield potential and …

Agricultural ecosystems are composed of genetically depauperate populations of crop
plants grown at a high density and over large spatial scales, with the regional composition of …

Aim To describe the patterns and trends in the spread of crop pests and pathogens around
the world, and determine the socioeconomic, environmental and biological factors …

The effect of climate change on flora and fauna has been widely discussed for years.
However, its consequences on microorganisms are generally poorly considered. The main …

Isolates of recently spreading races of yellow rust from wheat and triticale in Europe were
analysed using virulence phenotypic data of 2605 isolates sampled in 12 countries between …

We investigated whether the recent worldwide epidemics of wheat yellow rust were driven
by races of few clonal lineage (s) or populations of divergent races. Race phenoty** of …

New races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causal pathogen of wheat stripe rust,
show high virulence to previously deployed resistance genes and are responsible for large …
