Aecial Infections on Barberry Plants (Zinkila) in Ethiopia
W. Getaneh, EIAR - AmboBeijing, China
September 2012
Introduction
• Around 1958, barberry (B. holstii) plant surveys were conducted by the Biology Department of Addis Ababa University in the northern part of Ethiopia.
• In 1978, the Plant Protection Research Center (PRCC) conducted barberry surveys in the north Shewa zone; collected aeciospores were inoculated on wheat seedlings, but no infection was observed.
Introduction
In 2009, the pathology section of the PPRC conducted B. holstii surveys to investigate whether the plant functions as an alternate host to stem rust in Ethiopia.
These surveys were carried out in the northern part of Ethiopia (Shewa zone).
Surveys
• In the north Shewa zone, 5 locations were identified where B. holstii grows
• These locations range in altitude from 2781- 2895 m
• Abundant aeciospores were found on barberry leaves from September to January.

Our results suggest that B. holstii functions as an alternate host to stem rusts of cereals in Ethiopia, but this result is preliminary and will require confirmation and further study.

Why no stem rust on wheat?• Barberry present
• Severe epidemics on oats and natural grasses
• Some rust on rye
• Large genotypic variation within and between fields
• P. graminis clearly completing its sexual cycle
• Does the population identified as P. graminis f. sp. tritici/secalis lack the virulence necessary to infect wheat?
• Does wheat grown in Sweden have effective resistance genes?
Research progress on alternate host and sexual stage of wheat stripe rust in
China

China
Wheat stripe rust (Pst) is a destructive disease throughout all winter wheat regions in China and is considered the most important disease of wheat.
Diseased area: between 3-6 million ha. Yield losses: 10-50%.
Years Losses (million tonnes) 1950 6.0 1964 3.2 1990 2.6 2002 1.4
Western over-summering areas
Over-wintering areas
Eastern epidemic areas
Based on historical epidemiological data for stripe rust, the wheat-growing regions in China can be divided into three areas:
Over-summering areasOver-wintering areasEastern epidemic areas
In the mountainous western areas, stripe rust can over-summer on volunteer wheat and late-maturing spring wheat.

Most new races were first detected in these regions in recent history;
A high genetic diversity within the regions’ Pst populations has been reported by different research groups (Lu et al., 2011; Duan et al., 2010; Mboup et al., 2009);
The genetic recombination was found to occur for Pst in these regions (Lu et al.,2011; Duan et al., 2010; Mboup et al., 2009).
The western over-summering areas are considered a “hot-spot” for the emergence of new races of wheat stripe rust in China.
Virulence variation for rusts maybe due to
sexual hybridizationmutationssomatic hybridization
However, the mechanism of sexual hybridization for wheat stripe rust has been neglected since the sexual stage was presumed to be absent.
Why does the western over-summering areas become the “hot-spot” for wheat stripe rust in China?
In 2010, some Berberis spp. were shown to serve as alternate hosts for the wheat stripe rust pathogen. B. chinensis, B. holstii, B. koreana B. vulgaris.
Questions: Does the sexual stage of wheat stripe rust occur under natural conditions, particularly in China?
Do any susceptible barberry species coexist with wheat in China?
Can wheat stripe rust be isolated from infected Berberis spp. in China?
Does the sexual stage of wheat stripe rust contribute to variation in virulence?
Surveys for Berberis spp.in China
215 of the ~500 described Berberis spp. in the world are endemic to China;
Many of China's Berberis spp. are distributed in the western over-summering areas (hot-spot).
Western China: Sichuan : 81; Chongqin : 30; Yunnan : 78; Tibet: 55; Guansu : 26; Shaanxi: 20; Guizhou : 19; Qinghai : 13; Xinjiang : 5; Ningxia : 3;

We collected seeds and seedlings of Berberis spp. from the field and inoculated using telia of Pst in the greenhouse.
Normally, we see pycnia on the leaves of susceptible Berberis spp. 11-14 days after inoculation.

Virulence difference among single-uredium isolates from single-aecium-derived culture (B2011-1) on differentials
So far, 16 of the 22 tested barberry species from over-summering areas show susceptibility to wheat stripe rust, indicating that there is a great diversity of potential alternate hosts for stripe rust in China.
Four cultures of wheat stripe rust were obtained from three barberry species in the field, indicating that the sexual stage of wheat stripe rust occurs under natural conditions in China.
Virulence tests for single-uredium isolates recovered from a single aecium demonstrate that the sexual stage contributes to variation in virulence for the wheat stripe rust pathogen in China.
Summary
Future Work
More barberry species need to be tested for their susceptibility to Pst in China;
More field Surveys need to be conducted;
More evidence is needed to elucidate the relationship between genetic diversity and
the sexual stage of Pst,
