America-16 Durum - 2 Clone corrected within populations (race/SSR genotype) 20 differentials - 23 SSR loci Super highway - Kazakhstan

Central AsiaP. triticina populations Come to Kazakhstan!!! • Two distinct regional populations - mountain barrier • Limited migration between regions - very few SSR-virulence genotypes in common • Strong relationship between virulence and SSR genotypes
Population Genetics of P. triticina - Future Goals • Describe world-wide populations 20 Tc line differentials 23 SSR loci • North America, Central Asia, Middle East, South America, Europe • Determine genetic relationships between populations - (MCDS - USA- S. America)
