This document summarizes research on wheat stripe rust and races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici in China from 2008-2012. Key points include:
1) Wheat stripe rust is a major disease in China and caused severe epidemics in some regions in 2009.
2) Field surveys identified over 295 virulence phenotypes from over 4,770 samples collected nationwide from 2008-2012. Races CYR32 and CYR33 were dominant.
3) Isolates collected from different regions and time periods showed variation in temperature sensitivity, with some newer isolates being less sensitive to higher temperatures.
4) The research group evaluates wheat lines for rust resistance, supplies rust spores to breeding programs

3. I Occurrence and Epidemics of Wheat Stripe
Rust in China 2008-2012
China is the largest wheat
producer in the world with the
total wheat growing area of 24
million ha and the total wheat
production of over 120 billion kg
annually (MOA, 2012)
Wheat stripe rust is destructive
in all winter wheat regions and is
considered the most important
foliar disease in China
11. Dynamics of Major Pst Races in China During
2008-2012
A total of 295 virulence
phenotypes has been detected
from more than 4770 samples
during 2008-2012.
CYR32 & CYR33 is considered
as dominant races with the
frequency of 21.7% (18.15-
25.22% ) and 22.1% (18.27-
25.87%)
V26 (Virulence to Yr24/26) was firstly
detected with the frequency of 4.3% in
2010, and then increased to 13.2% in
2012

13. III Temperature Sensitivity of Different Spatio-
Temporal Pst Populations in China
† Temperature sensitivities of 126 Pst isolates sampled from 12
provinces collected over four decades (1980s-2010s) were compared.
† ET50 values representing the temperature required to achieve a 50%
DIR (disease inhibition rate), was taken as the temperature sensitivity
parameter of the pathogen.

14. III Temperature Sensitivity of Different Spatio-
Temporal Pst Populations in China
• The ET50s of all tested isolates were abnormally distributed in a
range from 18.46 to 27.01°C, and 14.29% of isolates were
higher than 26°C
• Pst isolates from warmer, lower elevations/latitudes showed
relatively higher ET50 values (revealing LT).
15. III Temperature Sensitivity of Different Spatio-
Temporal Pst Populations in China
Low temperature-sensitivity isolates (high ET50 value) had much
stronger parasitic fitness than the mid- and high temperature
sensitivity isolates, as displayed by shorter latent periods, more
spore production and faster lesion growth.

16. III Temperature Sensitivity of Different Spatio-
Temporal Pst Populations in China
Two hours after heat shock at 26°C, mRNA expression of hsp70 was 17.4-fold
higher in LT isolate than in the control (untreated urediniospores) and 4.9-fold
higher than HT isolate, suggesting that the hsp70 gene may play an important role
in Pst adaptation to high temperature .
