Pathogenic variation in Puccinia striiformisf.sp.tritici(Pst) Following selfing on Berberis shensiana

Pst is highly variable, and new races that overcome newly released resistant cultivars are regular events. The widely virulent race V26 (virulent to Yr26) has a significant potential to cause epidemics in China. In this study teliospores from a single urediniospore isolate of V26 (No. Pinglan 17-7) produced on the Nanjing wheat line 92R137 (Yr26) were induced to germinate and infect Berberis shensiana as a sexual host. One hundred and eighteen single aeciospore (SA) selfed progeny and the V26 parent were typed for pathogenicity on a set of differentials comprising 22 Yrnear-isogenic wheat lines (NILs). Virulence phenotyping was conducted twice for all isolates, and similar results were obtained each time. The V26 isolate (No. Pinglan 17-7) was avirulent on differentials with Yr5, Yr6, Yr8, Yr15, Yr43, YrSp, YrTr1 and virulent on those with Yr1, Yr2, Yr4, Yr7, Yr9, Yr10, Yr17, Yr25, Yr26, Yr27, Yr28, Yr32, Yr44, YrV23, and YrExp2. The progeny were all virulent to Yr1, Yr2 (Kalyansona), Yr7, Yr9, Yr10, Yr17, Yr25, Yr26, YrV23 (Vilmorin 23) and YrExp2, and all avirulent to Yr5, Yr8, Yr15, and YrTr1, suggesting that V26 is homozygous at the corresponding pathogenicity loci. Various segregation ratios were apparent for other Yrgenes (P values ranging from 0.6to 0.09).These included3 avirulent: 1 virulent with respect to Yr6 and Yr43, 1 avirulent : 3 virulent forYr27 and Yr28, 1 avirulent : 15 virulent forYr4, Yr32, and Yr44,and 13 avirulent : 3 virulent for YrSp. Among the 118 progeny，27 of new pathotypes were identified as compared with the avirulence/virulence loci of the parent isolate. A study of the population based on markers and development of a molecular map is in progress.

Yr26-virulent Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici pathotypes in China are genetically diverse

A Pst pathotype group named V26, virulent to wheat lines possessing Yr26 (=Yr24) has become the third most frequent group in China after races CYR32 and CYR33. Twenty four near-isogenic lines (NILs) and 19 Chinese differentials were used to identify the avirulence/virulence spectra of 36 Yr26-virulent isolates from four provinces (Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Ningxia). Eight races were identified when tested on the NIL set, and 7 races were identified on the Chinese set. There was no relationship with province of origin. Three races identified on the NILs occurred at relatively high frequencies (23, 3, and 3 isolates). Virulence differences existed for Yr1, Yr4, Yr6, Yr9, Yr17, Yr25, Yr32, YrSp, and YrTr1. Among the 7 races identified on the Chinese differentials, one (CYR32 + Yr26 virulence) was represented by 13 isolates and another (CYR33 + Yr26 virulence) included 15 isolates. Among the entire group there were virulence differences on Trigo-Eureka (Yr6+), Lovrin 13 (Yr9+), Kangyin 655, Fengchan 3 (Yr1+), Lovrin 10 (Yr9+), and Hybrid 46 (Yr4+). All isolates were avirulent on Zhong 4 and T. spelta. Using 18 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, we identified 35 genotypes clustered into two molecular groups (MGs) at a similarity coefficient level of 0.70. SSR analysis also indicated a high level of recombination within the V26 group. The considerable diversity indicates a threat not only to cultivars carrying Yr26, but also to other currently resistant materials.
