Ug99 Status: Ug99 (Race TTKSK) was first detected in 1998, but formally identified in 1999 (Pretorius et al., 2000). Ug99 race group members … Continue reading
Combined results from race analysis undertaken at several different labs indicate that five new variants in the Ug99 lineage were detected from samples collected in East Africa during 2013 or 2014. Probably most significant were the two new SrTmp variants … Continue reading
Mehran Patpour (Global Rust Reference Center in Denmark) and co-authors have just published details of the emergence and spread of virulence to SrTmp in the Ug99 race group in Africa. The note is now available as a First Look in … Continue reading
Following the localized stem rust epidemics in Ethiopia on the cultivar “Digalu” in 2013/14 (see report 23rd Dec 2013); continued, severe stem rust outbreaks have been observed in the 2014/15 main season. Once again the popular cultivar “Digalu” has been … Continue reading
Following the recent surveys and sampling in Rwanda by the Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB), wheat program and CIMMYT-Ethiopia during the period 27th Jan – 1st Feb 2014; two known Ug99 races have now been identified. Molecular diagnostic assays carried out … Continue reading
A severe, localised stem rust epidemic has broken out in southern Ethiopia during November-December 2013. The districts of Agarfa and Gasera in Bale zone are the most seriously affected, but some spread into other areas is now being reported. The … Continue reading
