Puccinia coronata is a plant pathogen and causal agent of oat and barley crown rust. The pathogen occurs worldwide, infecting both wild and cultivated oats. Crown rust poses a threat to barley production, because the first infections in barley occur early in the season from local inoculum.[1] Crown rusts have evolved many different physiological races within different species in response to host resistance. Each pathogenic race can attack a specific line of plants within the species typical host. For example, there are over 290 races of P. coronata.[2] Crops with resistant phenotypes are often released, but within a few years virulent races have arisen and P. coronata can infect them.[3]
Symptoms
Uredinia are linear, light orange, and occur mostly on the leaf blades but occasionally occur also on
Disease cycle
Barley crown rust can infect
Intra-specific classification
Uredinial/telial stages also occur on a wide range of grass species (Poaceae) in the genera
Management
Sources of resistance to crown rust have been identified in barley germplasm from diverse regions, but most malting barley cultivars currently grown in the northern Great Plains of North America are susceptible to crown rust.[1] Typically P. coronata can overcome resistant gene within five years, making it difficult for researchers to control its damaging effects on the oat production industry. Agricultural Research Service researchers have introduced individual genes that produce proteins believed to recognize crown rust and trigger a defensive response within the plant.[9] Because of P. coronata’s quick ability to adapt to resistant strains of oat, researchers have had to turn to a new variety of oat (A. barbata), which is commonly considered a weed, for new resistant genes. In lab studies A. barbata has done remarkably well in conferring resistance to various strains of crown rust. The main goal of the researchers is to not only confer resistance to crown rust, but also to develop oat varieties with additional desirable traits such as high yield and drought tolerance.[9]
History of study
Research into P. coronata on A. sativa/oat crown rust has been foundational to the understanding and definition of
