Three Decades of Rust Surveys in the United States Reveal Drastic Virulence Changes in Oat Crown Rust
To better understand how the pathogenicity of the oat crown rust pathogen Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca) has changed in the United States, 30 years of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey isolates (n = 5,456) tested on 30 to 40 differential lines were analyzed for overall and...

| Zusammenfassung: | To better understand how the pathogenicity of the oat crown rust pathogen Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca) has changed in the United States, 30 years of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey isolates (n = 5,456) tested on 30 to 40 differential lines were analyzed for overall and Pc-resistance-gene-specific virulence trends and correlations. Pca is incredibly pathologically diverse, with 88% of races represented by a single isolate. There are a slightly higher proportion of unique races from the Northern region of the United States, and for one fourth of the years, Northern region isolates were significantly more virulent than Southern isolates, which supports the idea that sexual recombination in this region is mediated by the alternate host as a major factor in creating new races. However, there is also support for regular isolate movement between North and South regions as isolates in the United States are steadily accumulating virulences at a rate of 0.35 virulences per year. Virulence significantly increased for 23 and decreased for four of the 40 differential lines. In the past few years, virulence has reached 90% or greater for 16 differential lines. There were also strong correlations in virulence for certain Pc genes that are likely identical, allelic, or target the same or closely linked pathogen effectors (e.g., Pc39, Pc55, and Pc71), and the results were largely in concordance with recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) effector studies using USDA isolate subsets. Understanding changes in Pca pathogenicity is essential for the responsible deployment and management of Pc resistance genes for sustainable and profitable oat production |
