Eight novel diagnostic markers differentiate lineages of the highly invasive myrtle rust pathogen .

is the causal agent of myrtle rust in over 480 species within the family Myrtaceae. Lineages of are structured by their hosts in the native range, and some have success in infecting newly encountered hosts. For example, the pandemic biotype has spread beyond South America, and proliferation of other lineages is an additional risk to biodiversity and industries.

Pathogenic Specialization in in Australia and Rust Resistance in Faba Bean.

The pathogen causes rust (a fungal disease) on faba bean (). This disease limits faba bean production in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia. The development of resistant cultivars to is the optimal solution for sustainable disease management.

SNP discovery and high-density genetic mapping in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) permits identification of QTLs for ascochyta blight resistance.

Ascochyta blight, caused by the fungus Ascochyta fabae Speg., is a common and destructive disease of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) on a global basis.
