Diversity of Northwestern and North Caucasian Populations of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici by Virulence and Microsatellite Loci in 2022.

Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst)) is a potentially dangerous disease of wheat.

QTL mapping for seedling and adult plant resistance to stripe and leaf rust in two winter wheat populations.

The two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations developed by crossing Almaly × Avocet S (206 RILs) and Almaly × Anza (162 RILs) were used to detect the novel genomic regions associated with adult plant resistance (APR) and seedling or all-stage resistance (ASR) to yellow rust (YR) and leaf rust (LR). The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected through multi-year phenotypic evaluations (2018-2020) and using high-throughput DArTseq genotyping technology. RILs exhibited significant genetic variation with < 0.

Resistance of Modern Russian Winter Wheat Cultivars to Yellow Rust.

Over the last decade, the significance of yellow rust caused by () has substantially increased worldwide, including in Russia. The development and cultivation of resistant genotypes is the most efficient control method. The present study was conducted to explore the yellow rust resistance potential of modern common winter wheat cultivars included in the Russian Register of Breeding Achievements in 2019-2022 using the seedling tests with an array of races and molecular markers linked with resistance genes.

Highly Aggressive Invasive Race Group PstS2 in Russian Populations of the Wheat Yellow Rust Pathogen.

The expansion of the area of harmfulness of the wheat yellow rust pathogen (Puccinia striiformis) (Pst) has be observed all over the world in the 2000s. This is due to the emergence of new highly aggressive invasive groups of races PstS1 and PstS2, adopted to the high temperatures, and also as a result of virulence mutations of regional pathogen populations. SCAR-markers were developed for identification of invasive races, and pathogen collections from many countries were studied.

The effect of the 7DL-7Ae#1L·7Ae#1S translocation on the productivity and quality of spring bread wheat grain.

The 7DL-7Ae#1L·7Ae#1S translocation with the Lr29 gene attracts the attention of bread wheat breeders by its effectiveness against Puccinia triticina. However, its impact on useful agronomic traits has been little studied. In this report, the prebreeding value of 7DL-7Ae#1L·7Ae#1S was studied in analogue lines (ALs) of spring bread wheat cultivars Saratovskaya 68 and Saratovskaya 70 during 2019-2021.

Comparison of clinical and echocardiographic parameters of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia three months and one year after discharge.

Aim    To study changes in clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients after documented COVID-19 pneumonia at 3 months and one year following discharge from the hospital. Material and methods    The study included 116 patients who have had documented COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation at 3 months ± 2 weeks (visit 1) and at one year ± 3 weeks after discharge from the hospital (visit 2).

Analysis of Host-Specific Differentiation of in the South and North-West of the European Part of Russia.

Yellow (stripe) rust, caused by Westend. (), is a major disease of cereals worldwide. We studied virulence phenotypes on , , and triticale in three geographically distant regions of the European part of Russia (Dagestan and Krasnodar in North Caucasus, and Northwest) with different climate and environmental conditions.

Wild grasses as the reservoirs of infection of rust species for winter soft wheat in the Northern Caucasus.

Common winter wheat is the main grain crop cultivated in the North Caucasus. Rust disease damage is one of the factors limiting wheat productivity. There are three species of rust in the region: leaf (Puccinia triticina), stem (P.

Image-Based Wheat Fungi Diseases Identification by Deep Learning.

Diseases of cereals caused by pathogenic fungi can significantly reduce crop yields. Many cultures are exposed to them. The disease is difficult to control on a large scale; thus, one of the relevant approaches is the crop field monitoring, which helps to identify the disease at an early stage and take measures to prevent its spread.

Race Characterization and Molecular Genotyping of Populations from Durum Wheat in Russia.

Variability of the Russian population of from durum wheat was studied with virulence and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The pathogen was sampled during 2017 to 2019 in all regions with sizable durum wheat () growing areas from winter (North Caucasus) and spring (Middle Volga, Ural, and West Siberia) wheat. A total of 474 isolates were tested on a set of 20 -gene lines.

[Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: 10-Years Follow-up].

Aim      To study long-term results and to identify predictors of death in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent endovascular revascularization.Materials and methods This study included 283 patients registered in the hospital registry of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for STEMI from 2006 through 2009. Analysis of 10-year results included all-cause and cardiovascular death rate, incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), repeated revascularization, stroke, stent restenosis and thrombosis.

Primary hexaploid synthetics: Novel sources of wheat disease resistance.

Climate change is leading to increased occurrence of and yield losses to wheat diseases. Managing these diseases by introducing new, effective and diverse resistance genes into cultivars represents an important component of sustainable wheat production. In 2016 and 2017 a set of primary hexaploid synthetic wheat was studied under high disease pressure: powdery mildew, leaf and stem rust in Omsk; and in Moscow.

Functional Variation of Plant-Pathogen Interactions: New Concept and Methods for Virulence Data Analyses.

Classical virulence analysis is based on discovering virulence phenotypes of isolates with regard to a composition of resistance genes in a differential set of host genotypes. With such a vision, virulence phenotypes are usually treated in a genetic manner as one of two possible alleles, either virulence or avirulence in a binary locus. Therefore, population genetics metrics and methods have become prevailing tools for analyzing virulence data at multiple loci.
