Using hierarchical clustering of secreted protein families to classify and rank candidate effectors of rust fungi. [PDF]
Rust fungi are obligate biotrophic pathogens that cause considerable damage on crop plants. Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, the causal agent of wheat stem rust, and Melampsora larici-populina, the poplar leaf rust pathogen, have strong deleterious ...

Genome size analyses of Pucciniales reveal the largest fungal genomes
Rust fungi (Basidiomycota, Pucciniales) are biotrophic plant pathogens which exhibit diverse complexities in their life cycles and host ranges. The completion of genome sequencing of a few rust fungi has revealed the occurrence of large genomes ...

On the current status of Phakopsora pachyrhizi genome sequencing
Recent advances in the field of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics allow a more rapid access to genomes of non-model organisms at sinking costs. Accordingly, draft genomes of several economically important cereal rust fungi have been released in ...

Chromosome evolution drives species evolution, speciation, and adaptive radiation. Accurate genome assembly is crucial to understanding chromosome evolution of species, such as dikaryotic fungi. Rust fungi (Pucciniales) in dikaryons represent the largest

The most frequent 'rusts' on trees and shrubs in Serbia [PDF]
This paper describes 15 species of fungi in the order Uredinales, causing the diseases known as "rusts". These fungi develop as obligate parasites and cause very dangerous diseases on cultivated plants.

New Findings on Rust Fungi from Iran [PDF]
Five new species and a new variety of rust fungi (Pucciniales) are described from Iran: Uromyces matinii on Gagea dubia, Uromyces arasbaranensis on Silene italica, Uromyces taleshensis on Colchicum sp., Uromyces kaviriae on Kaviria gossypina, Uromyces ...

Characterization of Lr46, a gene conferring partial resistance to wheat leaf rust [PDF]
Components of resistance conferred by the Lr46 gene, reported as causing "slow rusting" resistance to leaf rust in wheat, were studied and compared with the effects of Lr34 and genes for quantitative resistance in cv. Akabozu. Lr34 is a gene that confers

Duplications and losses in gene families of rust pathogens highlight putative effectors
Rust fungi are a group of fungal pathogens that cause some of the world’s most destructive diseases of trees and crops. A shared characteristic among rust fungi is obligate biotrophy, the inability to complete a lifecycle without a host.

Host jumps shaped the diversity of extant rust fungi (Pucciniales) [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the evolutionary time line for rust fungi and date key speciation events using a molecular clock. Evidence is provided that supports a contemporary view for a recent origin of rust fungi, with a common ancestor on
