The Bt9 resistance locus was mapped and shown to be distinct from the Bt10 locus. New markers linked to Bt9 have been identified and may be used to breed for resistance towards the seed-borne disease. Increasing organic wheat production in Denmark, and in other wheat-producing areas, in conjunction with legal requirements for organic seed production, may potentially lead to a rise in common bunt occurrence. As systemic pesticides are not used in organic farming, organic wheat production systems may benefit from genetic resistances. However, little is known about the underlying genetic mechanisms and locations of the resistance factors for common bunt resistance in wheat. A double haploid (DH) population segregating for common bunt resistance was used to identify the chromosomal location of common bunt resistance gene Bt9. DH lines were phenotyped in three environments and genotyped with DArTseq and SSR markers. The total length of the resulting linkage map was 2882 cM distributed across all 21 wheat chromosomes. Bt9 was mapped to the distal end of chromosome 6DL. Since wheat common bunt resistance gene Bt10 is also located on chromosome 6D, the possibility of their co-location was investigated. A comparison of marker sequences linked to Bt9 and Bt10 on physical maps of chromosome 6D confirmed that Bt9 and Bt10 are two distinct resistance factors located at the distal (6DL) and proximal (6DS) end, respectively, of chromosome 6D. Five new SSR markers Xgpw4005-1, Xgpw7433, Xwmc773, Xgpw7303 and Xgpw362 and many SNP and PAV markers flanking the Bt9 resistance locus were identified and they may be used in the future for marker-assisted selection.

Article Synopsis
- Some species of fungi cause diseases in important crops like wheat and rice, prompting a study that sequenced and analyzed 22 new genomes, focusing on those responsible for dwarf bunt, common bunt, and rice kernel smut.
- The research revealed a range of genome sizes and gene models and established evolutionary relationships among different taxa, confirming earlier findings from studies with fewer genes.
- The results indicate the need for taxonomic revisions for certain pathogens, propose that common bunt-causing species be classified as one, and enhance the genomic resources for future research in plant pathology.
Food Insecurity: Physician Perspectives, Screening and Communication.

Introduction: Primary care physicians may perceive food insecurity (FI) as a difficult topic to address in health care encounters, resulting in at-risk patients not being identified. This exploratory study examines physician perspectives on how decisions to screen patients for FI are made, effective FI communication strategies, and barriers to screening.
Methods: Primary care physicians in the statewide, practice-based Iowa Research Network (IRENE) completed a study survey in May 2022 that included structured and open-ended questions regarding their experiences screening for FI.

Common bunt caused by Kühn is one of the most serious fungal diseases of wheat. The root-microbial associations play key roles in protecting plants against biotic and abiotic factors. Managing these associations offers a platform for improving the sustainability and efficiency of agriculture production.

Purpose: Food insecurity (FI) is a hidden epidemic associated with worsening health outcomes affecting 33.8 million people in the US in 2021. Although studies demonstrate the importance of health care clinician assessment of a patient's food insecurity, little is known about whether Family Medicine clinicians (FMC) discuss FI with patients and what barriers influence their ability to communicate about FI.
