  5. 4. Population structure of Puccinia graminis, the cause of stem rust on wheat, barley, and rye in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Clara Kjellström; [2021]
    Keywords : plant pathology; plant disease; crop protection; fungi; P; graminis f.sp. tritci; P. graminis f.sp. secale; P. graminis f.sp. hordei;

    Abstract : Rust fungi belong to the phylum Basidiomycetes, order Uredinales cause damage on almost all plants, including cereal crops. Some of the species within the genus Puccinia causes rust disease on cereal crops. One example of a disease from this genus is Puccinia graminis, which historically has caused severe damage in cereal crop production. READ MORE

  6. 5. Genotypic variation of Puccinia graminis infecting barberry and grasses

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Karolina Jörgensen; [2016]
    Keywords : Puccini graminis; population biology; barberry; Berberis spp.; phylogeny; small sequence repeats;

    Abstract : Stem rust on cereals is a large problem in parts of the world, and it may reduce the yields significantly. It is caused by Puccinia graminis, a heteroecious basidiomycete with 365 known telial host grass species. Puccinia graminis reproduces asexually on the grass host. READ MORE
