ABSTRACT

Stripe rust, a fungal disease caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive diseases affecting wheat production areas worldwide. In recent years in China, wheat stripe rust has caused huge yield losses throughout the vast Huang-Huai-Hai region, including the eastern coast regions, especially Shandong province. The aim of the present study was to explore the population structure and potential inoculum sources of the pathogen in this region. A total of 234 Pst isolates in 2021 were collected and isolated from seven provinces and identified for virulence phenotypes using 19 Chinese differentials and for genotypes using 17 single-nucleotide polymorphism-based Kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers. The virulence phenotype tests identified predominant races CYR34 (18.0%) and CYR32 (16.0%) in Shandong, which were similar to the results in Henan province, also with the predominant races CYR34 (21.9%) and CYR32 (18.8%). Based on the virulence data of phenotyping, the Pst populations in Shandong, Hubei, and Henan were similar. The genotypic analysis revealed remarkable gene flows among the Shandong, Hubei, Henan, Yunnan, and Guizhou populations, showing a migration of Pst from the southwestern oversummering regions to Shandong through the winter spore production regions. Genetic structure analysis also indicated an additional migration route from the northwestern oversummering regions through winter spore production regions to Shandong. The results are useful for understanding stripe rust epidemiology in the eastern coast region and improving control of the disease throughout the country.

ABSTRACT

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most important diseases of wheat. Identifying Pst races is essential for developing resistant cultivars and managing the disease. In this study, 608 isolates collected from China in 2021 were tested with the Chinese set of 19 wheat variety differentials and the set of 18 Yr single-gene differentials. Of the 119 races detected with the Chinese set of differentials, 94 were new. A higher number (149) of races were identified using the Yr single-gene differentials. The frequencies of virulence factors to 17 of the 19 Chinese differential varieties and to 10 of the 18 Yr single-gene differentials were high (>60%). None of the isolates were virulent to the differentials Zhong 4 (Yr genes unknown) and Triticum spelta Album (Yr5) in the Chinese set and the Yr5 and Yr15 lines in the single-gene set of differentials, indicating that these genes or varieties are effective against the Pst population detected in 2021. Using Nei's genetic distance, the 16 provincial Pst populations were clustered into six groups based on the Chinese set and eight groups based on the Yr single-gene set of differentials. In addition, we found that the same races identified using the Chinese differentials could be further differentiated into different races using the Yr single-gene differentials, suggesting a higher differential capability than the Chinese set of differentials. The results provide a scientific basis for monitoring Pst populations and guiding resistance breeding in China.

ABSTRACT

Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina f. sp. tritici (Pt), is distributed widely in wheat-producing areas and results in serious yield losses worldwide. In China, leaf rust has been largely controlled with a demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicide, triadimefon. Although high levels of fungicide resistance in pathogens have been reported, no field failure of wheat leaf rust to DMI fungicides has been reported in China. A resistance risk assessment of triadimefon to Pt was investigated in the present study. The sensitivity of 197 Pt isolates across the country to triadimefon was determined, and the density distribution of EC50 values (concentration at which mycelial growth is inhibited by 50%) showed a continuous multimodal curve because of the extensive use of this fungicide in wheat production, with a mean value of 0.46 µg/ml. The majority of the tested Pt isolates were sensitive to triadimefon, whereas 10.2% developed varying degrees of resistance. Characterization of parasitic fitness revealed that the triadimefon-resistant isolates exhibited strong adaptive traits in urediniospore germination rate, latent period, sporulation intensity, and lesion expansion rate. No correlation was observed between triadimefon and tebuconazole and hexaconazole, which have the similar mode of action, or pyraclostrobin and flubeneteram, which have different modes of action. Overexpression of the target gene Cyp51 led to the triadimefon resistance of Pt. The risk of resistance to triadimefon in Pt may be low to moderate. This study provided important data for fungicide resistance risk management against wheat leaf rust.

ABSTRACT

Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is a serious threat to wheat production, and the application of fungicides is one of the most important means for controlling the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide, flubeneteram, on reducing stripe rust. The baseline sensitivity of 173 Pst isolates from 13 provinces of China to flubeneteram was determined. Flubeneteram displayed significant effects on inhibiting SDH enzymes of Pst. Histological observations showed that after flubeneteram application, the formation and development of Pst hyphae and haustoria were significantly inhibited, and the structures were destroyed. Flubeneteram primed wheat for salicylic acid-induced defenses via upregulating pathogenesis-related genes (PR1 and PR2). Altogether, our study is the first to provide evidence that flubeneteram induces wheat defense against Pst infection. The findings indicate that flubeneteram could be an effective fungicide for managing stripe rust.

ABSTRACT

The development of skyrmionic devices requires a suitable tuning of material parameters to stabilize skyrmions and control their density. It has been demonstrated recently that different skyrmion types can be simultaneously stabilized at room temperature in heterostructures involving ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, and heavy metals, offering a new platform of coding binary information in the type of skyrmion instead of the presence/absence of skyrmions. Here, we tune the energy landscape of the two skyrmion types in such heterostructures by engineering the geometrical and material parameters of the individual layers. We find that a fine adjustment of the ferromagnetic layer thickness, and thus its magnetic anisotropy, allows the trilayer system to support either one of the skyrmion types or the coexistence of both and with varying densities.
