Seedling and adult plant (field) resistance to yellow rust in the durum wheat ( ssp. ) cross Kunduru-1149 x Cham-1 was characterized using a functionally-targeted DNA marker system, NBS-profiling. Chi-squared analysis indicated a four gene model conferring seedling yellow rust resistance against f. sp. isolate WYR85/22 (virulent on , , and ). Interval mapping located two QTL for yellow rust resistance on the long arm of chromosome 1B, while Kruskal-Wallis single marker regression identified a number of additional marker loci associated with seedling and/or adult plant, field resistance to yellow rust. These results suggested that much of the yellow rust resistance seen in the field may be due to seedling expressed resistance (R) genes. Characterization of the DNA sequence of three NBS marker loci indicated that all showed significant homology to functionally-characterized R-genes and resistance gene analogues (RGAs), with the greatest homology being NBS-LRR-type R-genes and RGAs from cereal species.

High-quality genome information is essential for efficiently deciphering and improving crop traits. Here, we report a highly contiguous and accurate hexaploid genome assembly for the key wheat breeding parent Zhou8425B, an elite 1BL/1RS translocation line with durable adult plant resistance (APR) against yellow rust (YR) disease. By integrating HiFi and Hi-C sequencing reads, we have generated a 14.

Following an episode of sudden lethargy, an 18-month-old female black-capped parrot (Pionites melanocephalus) died while being examined. On gross examination, there was fluid within the coelom, hepatomegaly with yellow colouration and the heart appeared enlarged with pallor throughout the myocardium. On histological examination, cardiomyocytes were swollen with loss of cross striations and contained 6-12-μm diameter intrasarcoplasmic pale grey inclusions of storage material.

First report of Triticale leaf rust caused by in Canada.

December 2024

University of Alberta, Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Triticale (× Triticosecale), was initially produced by crossing wheat (Triticum) with rye (Secale). Although still a minor crop in Canada, triticale grain is used both as human food (in bread, pastry products, and the brewing industry) and as livestock feed (Larter 2015). In September 2023 typical leaf rust samples were observed and collected in winter Triticale at Lacombe, Alberta.
