Regional Frequencies of Virulence in Oat Crown Rust in the United States from 1990 Through 2000

Plant Disease
K J Leonard

Abstract

More than 2,000 isolates of Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae collected in national virulence surveys were analyzed to determine regional patterns of virulence on 28 single-gene oat lines. From 1990 to 2000, frequencies of virulence to eight differentials increased significantly in Texas, and virulence frequencies of four of the eight also increased in the northern Great Plains. No significant changes occurred for the other 20 differentials. Isolates from northern states from the Dakotas to New York had similar patterns of virulence frequencies on these 20 differentials. The pattern of virulence frequencies in the north differed from that of southern states from Texas to the Carolinas. There was a gradient of similarity values in state by state comparisons from Texas to the Atlantic Coast. Isolates from California were distinctly different from those elsewhere in the United States. Isolates from the South and from California had greater mean virulence complexity than isolates from northern states. Collections from the central Great Plains were intermediate between northern and southern isolates. Uredinial isolates from oat and aecial isolates from the alternate host Rhamnus cathartica in Minnesota had similar frequencies of virul...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
