Congratulations to CSIRO chief research scientist, agriculture and food, Dr Evans Lagudah who has been named as an officer in the General Division (AO) for distinguished service to agriculture and food science as a researcher in the area of wheat genetics 👏

Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Myrtle Rust - Scholarship available for a PhD student to conduct research investigating plant pathogen interactions, specifically in the pathogen causing myrtle rust. sydney.edu.au/scholarships/d…

After nine years working at PBI Cobbitty, Dr Peter Dracatos will be leaving us to return to Melbourne. During his tenure at the PBI, Peter significantly contributed to barley leaf rust mapping and cloning research. We wish Peter all the best for his future endeavours!!

We are pleased to share #ACRCP #Cereal #rust #survey status report, July 2021 sydney.edu.au/content/dam/co…

I have a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research funded 3yr post-doc position available in my Lab John Innes Centre to study engineering of immune receptors in cereal crops. Collaboration with Matthew Moscou, The Sainsbury Laboratory. Feel free to contact me with questions. Please RT! jobs.jic.ac.uk/Details.asp?va…

While NSW, Australia is under #Covid lockdown #wheat #striperust is moving freely in our fields PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney. Stripe rust well-establishing for precision #rust resistance phenotyping.

#Wheat #leafrust developing swiftly in our #disease screening nurseries ⁦PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney⁩

It's that time of the year again PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney when the #wheat, #barley and #oats crop is advancing fast and our #ACRCP team is on top of it monitoring #rust #disease progress in well-established screening nurseries.

Humble #Barley a founder #crop of the Old World Neolithic #food production - first domesticated in the #FertileCrescent ~8000 years ago. The genus #Hordeum is extremely diverse, comprising ca. 32 #species (diploid and polyploid), #diversity

Recent reports of stripe rust infection in central/northern NSW, and ACRCP team is out for surveillance. Monitoring pathogen variability & use of resistant varieties is key for a coordinated rust control strategy. Monitor crops and if you spot rust, send samples to PBI Cobbitty.

2022 is going to be another big year in field. Our hard working team has sown over 80K #wheat and #barley entries in field for #rust testing and to generate resistance information for breeders. This work has been made possible by long term commitment of GRDC

0ur recent article reviews the current knowledge of the #genetic basis of #resistance to #oatscrownrust & future advances that we believe will lead to environmentally sound approaches to manage this globally damaging oat disease. Review article link below: europepmc.org/article/med/35…

We've identified resistance to Barley stripe rust (BYR) caused by puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei (Psh) and KASP markers for barley breeders ahead of BYR's arrival into Australia, GRDC GRDC North GRDC South Sydney Agriculture . Check out our paper: doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2…

We are now inviting manuscripts for 'Plants' journal special issue 'Molecular Approaches for Plant Resistance to Rust Diseases'. See details below: mdpi.com/si/211365 #mdpiplants via Plants MDPI

#Striperust thrives in cool, moist conditions with temperatures between 10°C and 15°C and prolonged leaf wetness from dew or rain. These disease favoring conditions have been ideal at #Cobbitty this year and our #disease screening nurseries PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney are thriving.

A great tour of PBI Cobbitty, University of Sydney University of Sydney with Drs. Karanjeet Sandhu & Davinder Singh and Matthew Williams. An impressive and crucial infrastructure for cereal rusts research. I haven’t seen such an impressive infrastructure for rust research anywhere in US/Canada.
