    Abstract Puccinia triticina (Pt) infects wheat, leading to colonization of leaf tissues, pustule formation on the leaf and eventually yield loss. Fungicides and breeding techniques are used to manage Pt infection in wheat. However, there is a growing need for biochemical studies to identify critical metabolites and proteins that contribute to plant susceptibility or resistance against Pt. The current study investigated defensive role of non-structural, structural carbohydrates, and CAZymes during Pt-wheat interaction at 1, 7, and 14 days post inoculation (dpi). The results revealed that glucose, total reducing sugars and sucrose were significantly decreased by more than 50% in Pt inoculated susceptible Thatcher (IS) plants. Sucrose concentrations decreased by 0.80 and 0.93 fold in IS compared to control sample (CS) at 1 and 7 dpi. Pt inoculated resistant Thatcher + Lr9 (IR) plants and control (CR) did not display differences in soluble carbohydrate concentrations. In addition, exoglucanase, endoglucanase, pectinase and carbohydrate esterase activities were significantly higher at 1 or 7 dpi in IS compared to IR plants. The cellulose-content was 29% in IR samples compared to 15% in CR samples at 14 dpi. Additionally, hemicellulose increased by 2% in IR at 14 dpi. The cell wall reinforcements in resistant plants were supported by Fourier transformation infrared results that revealed that IR holocellulose content was not affected by Pt infection, but IS samples holocellulose decreased at 7 dpi. In conclusion, increased activities of CAZymes, decreased cell wall holocellulose content, and reduced soluble carbohydrates were susceptibility indicators.

    Abstract Wheat stem rust has reemerged as a serious disease caused by new variants of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. Variants with significant virulence and broad geographic distribution (Africa, Central Asia, and Europe) include the Ug99 race group, race TTRTF, and TKTTF race group. Genetic analysis has placed isolates representing these critical new virulent races into 12 genetic groups that make up clades I to IV. Development of molecular diagnostic assays for these 12 genetic groups will be an important component of global surveillance efforts. A single-nucleotide polymorphism database was mined for candidate markers that would differentiate between these 12 genetic groups. Thirty-five candidate markers were screened, and a core set of 17 markers was tested against a set of 94 isolates representing a broad range of genotypes and race phenotypes. These core markers were 100% accurate in identifying the 12 genetic groups for 52 isolates in clades I to IV, and no false positives were observed with nontarget isolates. The assay has built-in redundancy so that minor genetic changes or errors in genotyping calling will not affect the accuracy of the results. This assay is also effective in identifying the genetic groups in clade V from Germany and Georgia, the three main subgroups in North American clade VI, and clade VII consisting of race TTTTF found in North and South America. This assay provides a rapid diagnostic tool for both living and nonliving samples to detect these critical new races or race groups of P. graminis f. sp. tritici. Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).

    Abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can play an essential role in eliciting an induced defense response in exposed plants. Preceding research showed that Puccinia triticina (Pt) infected resistant wheat emitted VOCs that induced a defense response in uninfected exposed wheat (UR) plants. The current study aimed to determine the biochemical nature of this induced defense response in the UR plants. Seedlings exposed to infected resistant plant VOCs for 8 h were used for proteomic analysis. A total of 26 proteins were up-regulated and 55 proteins were down-regulated. Five up-regulated chaperones proteins (Hsp70, chaperonin 60 subunit beta 3, ClpC, ClpC1 and ClpC2), two elongation factor-Tu, four isoforms of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and xyloglucan galactosyltransferase are generally associated with plant defense responses. The proteomic expression profiles were supported by gene transcript expression patterns showing down-regulated phosphoglycerate kinase, up-regulated ClpC2 chaperone and unchanged carbonic anhydrase encoding transcript levels. In addition, the mitochondrial Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD Mt) encoding gene transcripts and SOD enzymatic activity were significantly induced at 8, 24 and 48 h post volatile exposure (hpe) relative to control (0 hpe). Salicylic acid quantities were significantly induced in the UR plants at 8, 24 and 48 hpe. These findings suggested that induced salicylic acid could be involved in the signaling of biochemical changes in the UR plants upon the reception of the VOCs emitted by the Pt infected wheat plants. The current study thus contributed to improving our understanding of the nature of the biochemical induced defence responses during VOCs exposed uninfected plants in an interplant signaling event.

    Abstract In contrast to many other countries, the virulence and genetic diversity of the South African Puccinia triticina population before 1980 is unknown, because of the absence of regular and systematic race analysis data and viable rust cultures. Herbarium specimens housed at the National Collection of Fungi, Biosystematics Unit, Plant Health and Protection, Agricultural Research Council, Pretoria, South Africa (SA), provided the opportunity to investigate the genetic development of the population using isolates collected between 1906 and 2010. Five subpopulations that survived between 21 and 82 years in the field were found. While three of these could represent the original races that entered SA during European settlement, two appear to be recent exotic introductions into SA, most probably from other African countries. The demise of the three oldest subpopulations might be from the release of resistant wheat cultivars. The population is clonal, where new virulence develops through single step mutations and selection for virulence. Although a possible case of somatic hybridization was found, sexual reproduction appears to be absent in SA. This study confirmed the importance of annual surveys in SA and its neighboring countries for the timely detection of new virulent races that could threaten wheat production in SA.
