Outline • The real-time PCR assay • Project one: Puccinia graminis spores in rain • Project two: Phakopsora pachyrhizi spores in rain
Fungal Fungal ITS2 18S ITS1 5.8S Rust Rust Probe 18S ITS1 5.8S P. graminis nested assay
P. graminis nested assay • Verify amplicon size • Sequence select positives
P. graminis project outline • Rain is collected weekly at NADP sites • Rain is sent to Illinois and filtered • Filters are dried and sent overnight • Remove debris from filter (day 1) • DNA is extracted (day 2) • Run real-time PCR assay (day 3)

Summary • Detection limit of 1-10 spores • Detect stem rust spores 3 weeks prior to 1st reported infections consistently along the Puccinia pathway • Regional trends confirms assay • What one would expect from the biology of the organism

Summary • Ph. pachyrhizi spores were detected throughout the soybean growing region of the U.S. • Frequency and spore load increased in 2006. • Detection of spores in rain further north in 2006 matches increase in field reports. • Rain data is consistent with ASR becoming established in Southern U.S. and the Gulf Coast region of Mexico and Central America.
Overall summary • So far, detect 2 rust pathogens in rain • Adaptable assay system • Currently have probes for: • P. coronata (7 different groups) • P. recondita f.sp secalis • P. striiformis • P. triticina • And others
