4 Soybean Rust Pathogens Phakopsora pachyrhizi the only species known to cause soybean rust up to 1992, although studies in the 1970s and 1980s indicated that Western and Eastern Hemisphere isolates differed P. meibomiae described in 1992 as a new species to represent isolates from the Western Hemisphere Pachyrhizus erosa (yam bean) Ticktrifoil Desmodium spp. (syn. Meibomia spp.)

14 Is rust still a threat? Are we prepared? Yes - monitoring and management through fungicides Do we have adequate information about the pathogen? Do we need to know more about host resistance?

15 Host Range Prior to 2004, the host range included 42 genera on 93 hosts Now, the host range includes 53 genera and 150 species About 120 of the 150 species occur in North America All hosts belong to the legume subfamily Papilionoideae (estimated 13,860 species) More capacity for expansion Slaminko et al Plant Health Progress, doi: /php rs.

17 Pathogenic Variation of Isolates Perhaps the earliest report of pathogenic variation was from Taiwan in 1966 when isolates caused different reactions on five legume species including soybean This was confirmed in many other studies in Australasia, and also at the plant pathogen containment facility at Fort Detrick which has isolates dating back to 1972

20 Virulence Diversity No sexual cycle known Isolates known to be virulent even before genes for resistance deployed Diversity may exist in wild populations on other non-soybean hosts Somatic hybridization Germ tube anastomosis Vittal et al European Journal of Plant Pathology DOI /s Nuclear migration

21 Summary of Pathogenic Variation Virulence diversity isolates are known that overcome all genes for resistance Anastomosis and nuclear migration - shown to occur, but nuclear exchange not demonstrated Aggressiveness diversity comparisons indicate that isolates are not equal in disease severity, nor equal in their reproductive capacity Molecular diversity studies from Brazil, Nigeria, and USA show isolate differences in gene sequences (ITS 1 & 2) and markers (SSR), but molecular diversity does not relate to virulence

22 Resistance in soybean to Phakopsora pachyrhizi Non-host Immunity Complete resistance Incomplete resistance Partial resistance Susceptibility Tolerance

23 Sources of Resistance First reported in the 1970s and 1980s The entire collection (16,595) of the U.S. soybean germplasm was evaluated at Fort Detrick prior to the 2004 establishment of soybean rust in the continental U.S. (Miles et al. 2006) Many of these original sources have been evaluated and characterized in Brazil and the U.S.

26 Genes for Resistance Rpp1 (PI ) - resistant against the monospore isolate Q-1 from Australia (McLean and Byth 1980) Rpp2 (PI ), Rpp3 (PI ) and Rpp4 (PI B) - characterized by their responses against specific P. pachyrhizi isolates purified at Fort Detrick (Bromfield and Hartwig 1980; Hartwig 1986; Hartwig and Bromfield 1983)

27 Additional Genes for Resistance Rpp5 - identified in Brazil in 2008 (Garcia et. al., 2008) Rpp1, Rpp2, Rpp3, and Rpp5 - genetic evidence indicates all have multiple alleles For example, Rpp1b (PI A) distinguished from Rpp1 by a differential reaction to isolate ZM 01-1 (Chakraborty et al. 2009) In addition, some sources of resistance have stacked genes PI and possibly PI and PI may have resistance genes Rpp3 and Rpp5 (Kendrick et al. 2011) UG5 (a cultivar from Uganda) may have Rpp1 and Rpp3 Many other sources not yet genetically characterized, so new genes (Rpp6 to Rpp?) may be added
