Talk:Wheat yellow rust

Untitled
Except for paper by Zhao et al (2013), there are no other studies to prove barberry can serve alternate host in natural conditions. The aecia from barberry in the natural conditions are either stem rust fungus Puccinia graminis or other species excluding Puccinia striiformis since the aecia from barberry inoculated on wheat failed to produce strip rust symptom. The hypothesis that there exists sexual reproduction of P. striiformis in the Himalaya region only based on the molecular markers and population genetics deduction, but the molecular work can not replace the biological test. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.121.225.3 (talk) 00:56, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

--I've taken the liberty to begin editing this page as it is woefully inaccurate and behind the times regarding yellow rust of wheat. I'll be updating this as time permits but rest assured this will be a work-in-progress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusty Researcher (talk • contribs) 23:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

--Dr.M. Kashif (talk) 06:33, 17 July 2009 (UTC) I will appreciate any edition and correction in this article

Aug 2012 I do not know who is editing this page recently but they had the dates wrong and most of the science. See the following refs:

"Wheat rust pathogens belong to genus Puccinia, family Pucciniaceae, order Uredinales and class Basidiomycetes. These rust fungi are highly specialized plant pathogens with narrow host ranges. The Italians Fontana and Tozzetti independently provided the first unequivocal and detailed reports of wheat stem rust in 1767 (Fontana, 1932; Tozzetti, 1952). The causal organism of wheat stem rust was named P. graminis by Persoon in 1797. Chester (1946) provided one of the first detailed histories of the literature on the rust of wheat. In the early records, wheat leaf rust is not distinguished from stem rust (Chester, 1946). However, by 1815 de Candolle (1815) had shown that wheat leaf rust was caused by a distinct fungus Uredo rubigovera. The pathogen underwent a number of name changes until 1956 when Cummins and Cald-well (1956) suggested P. recondita, which has been the generally used nomenclature. Recent morphological studies by Savile (1984) and morphological and pathogen genetic studies by Anikster et al. (1997) show that P. recondita is not the incitant of wheat leaf rust. Currently P. triticina should be the preferred name as shown in by Savile (1984) and Anikster et al. (1997). This name was used by Mains and Jackson (1926) and has been used in parts of Asia and Eastern Europe for many years. In this chapter, P. triticina will be used for the leaf rust on wheat (Triticum aestivum). Although Gadd first described stripe rust of wheat in 1777, it was not until 1896 that Eriksson and Henning (1896) showed that stripe rust resulted from a separate pathogen, which they named P. glumarum. In 1953, Hylander et al. (1953) revived the name P. striiformis."

The current article is much too short and contains much outdated information, ignoring the disease's recent appearance in warmer climates, for instance, and not mentioning that the alternative host for P. striiformis was finally described by Jin, Szabo and Carson in 2010 after a century of looking for it. http://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/pdf/10.1094/PHYTO-100-5-0432. There is conjecture in the scientific community that sexual reproduction is actually a new mutation for P. striiformis and not something that had remained undetected for a century. Not sure if anyone has published anything on that thought yet.

Perhaps Dr. Kashif or someone equally qualified could take recontrol of the article and bring it back to good condition. Otherwise the article is SO BAD it should be deleted. Parsnip13 (talk) 12:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Change page to "Stripe rust" or yellow rust, but eliminate "wheat"
I'm thinking this should be changed to just Puccinia striiformis. Then we can have some sub headings for each of the various f.sp. The other stripe rust pages (Puccinia striiformis var. striiformis and Barley stripe rust) are poorly done. Much of the information regarding life cycles adn history is the same for each f.sp. I think it would be better to have a single, more robust page for stripe rust more generally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nurkgreatness (talk • contribs) 14:56, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

I work on rust fungi professionally, so I would be happy to improve this page, and I have the knowledge, but I'm a pretty inexperienced wiki editor. Not sure how to make big changes in pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nurkgreatness (talk • contribs) 14:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
