Global Spread, Genetic Differentiation, and Selection of Barley Spot Form Net Blotch Isolates.

Spot form net blotch, caused by f. , is a significant necrotrophic disease of barley that spread worldwide in the twentieth century. Genetic relationships were analyzed to determine the diversity, survival, and dispersal of a diverse collection of 346 isolates from Australia, Southern Africa, North America, Asia Minor, and Europe.

Long-read genome sequencing of bread wheat facilitates disease resistance gene cloning.

The cloning of agronomically important genes from large, complex crop genomes remains challenging. Here we generate a 14.7 gigabase chromosome-scale assembly of the South African bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivar Kariega by combining high-fidelity long reads, optical mapping and chromosome conformation capture.

Population Structure of f. Barley Pathogens from Different Continents.

Net form net blotch disease, caused by f. , results in significant yield losses to barley industries. Up-to-date knowledge of the genetic diversity and structure of pathogen populations is critical for elucidating the disease epidemiology and unraveling pathogen survival and dispersal mechanisms.

Mapping a Resistance Gene to f. sp. in the Bread Wheat Cultivar 'Matlabas'.

f. sp. race TTKSF+ was collected from the South African wheat cultivar 'Matlabas' in 2010.

Point Inoculation Method for Measuring Adult Plant Response of Wheat to Stripe Rust Infection.

Depending on the pathogenicity of the stripe rust fungus f. sp. , the nature of resistance in the wheat host plant, and the environment, a broad range of disease phenotypes can be expressed.

Yield Loss Associated with Different Levels of Stem Rust Resistance in Bread Wheat.

Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici race Ug99 (syn.

Genome Targeted Introgression of Resistance to African Stem Rust from into Bread Wheat.

Many accessions of the wheat wild relative Sharon goatgrass ( Eig., ) are resistant to African races of the stem rust pathogen (i.e.

Stem Rust Resistance in a Geographically Diverse Collection of Spring Wheat Lines Collected from Across Africa.

Following the emergence of the Ug99 lineage of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) a collective international effort has been undertaken to identify new sources of wheat stem rust resistance effective against these races.

C-reactive protein as an adverse prognostic marker for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC): confirmatory results.

We previously reported that higher serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with shorter survival in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). To confirm this finding in an independent data set, we used 119 CRPC patients enrolled in 6 phase II clinical trials and examined the relationship of CRP, alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, age, ECOG PS, and prostate specific antigen (PSA) with survival. Median follow-up was 19.

Histopathology and PR-protein markers provide insight into adult plant resistance to stripe rust of wheat.

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a serious disease of wheat.
