SSR Variability of Stem Rust Pathogen on Spring Bread Wheat in Russia.

Wheat stem rust, caused by f. sp. , which used to be a harmful disease of winter wheat in the southern part of Russia, has been largely affecting the yield of spring bread wheat in the territories of the temperate climate zone since 2009.

MIGREW: database on molecular identification of genes for resistance in wheat.

Population structure of fungal infections in wheat differs between wheat varieties and environments. Taking into account evolution of host-pathogen interactions, genetic diversity of both wheat and fungus must be a monitored. In order to catalogue information to support need of wheat pathologists and breeders, who use conventional methods and Molecular Assisted Selection (MAS) techniques, we have developed the Molecular Identification of Genes for Resistance in Wheat (MIGREW) database.
