'''Stem rust''', also known as '''cereal rust''', '''black rust''',<ref name=Singh08 /><ref name=Schumann00/> '''red rust''' or '''red dust''',<ref name=vincent2011/> is caused by the [[fungus]] '''''Puccinia graminis''''', which causes significant disease in [[cereal]] crops. Crop species that are affected by the disease include [[bread wheat]], [[Durum|durum wheat]], [[barley]] and [[triticale]].<ref name=Singh08 /> These diseases have affected cereal farming throughout history. The annual recurrence of stem rust of wheat in North Indian plains was discovered by K.C. Mehta.<ref>{{Cite web|title=History|url=https://www.plantsdiseases.com/p/history.html|last=O|first=Akhtar|website=Plant diseases identification|access-date=2020-05-31}}</ref> Since the 1950s, wheat strains bred to be resistant to stem rust have become available.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Bhattacharya|first=Shaoni|date=2017-02-09|title=Deadly new wheat disease threatens Europe's crops|journal=Nature|volume=542|issue=7640|pages=145–146|doi=10.1038/nature.2017.21424|pmid=28179687|bibcode=2017Natur.542..145B|s2cid=4451220}}</ref> [[Fungicide]]s effective against stem rust are available as well.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Wanyera|first1=R.|last2=Macharia|first2=J.

In 1999 a new virulent race of stem rust was identified against which most current wheat strains show no resistance. The race was named TTKSK (e.g. isolate [[Ug99]]). An [[epidemic]] of stem rust on wheat caused by race TTKSK spread across [[Africa]], [[Asia]] and the [[Middle East]], causing major concern due to the large numbers of people dependent on wheat for sustenance, thus threatening global [[food security]].<ref name="red alert" />

An outbreak of another virulent race of stem rust, TTTTF, took place in [[Sicily]] in 2016, suggesting that the disease is returning to Europe.<ref name=":0" /> Comprehensive [[genomic]] analysis of ''Puccinia graminis'', combined with plant pathology and climate data, has pointed out the potential of the re-emergence of stem wheat rust in UK.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Saunders|first1=Diane G.

==History==
The fungal ancestors of stem rust have infected grasses for millions of years and wheat crops for as long as they have been grown.<ref name="red alert">Kaplan, Karen (July 22, 2009) "A red alert for wheat". ''[[LA Times]]''</ref> According to Jim Peterson, professor of wheat breeding and genetics at [[Oregon State University]], "Stem rust destroyed more than 20% of U.S. wheat crops several times between 1917 and 1935, and losses reached 9% twice in the 1950s," with the last U.S. outbreak in 1962 destroying 5.2% of the crop.<ref name="red alert"/>

Stem rust has been an ongoing problem dating back to [[Aristotle]]'s time (384–322 BC). An early ancient practice by the Romans was one where they would sacrifice red animals such as foxes, dogs, and cows to [[Robigus]] (''fem.'' [[Robigo]]), the rust god. They would perform this ritual in the spring during a festival known as the Robigalia in hopes of the wheat crop being spared from the destruction caused by the rust. Weather records from that time have been reexamined and it has been speculated that the fall of the Roman Empire was due to a string of rainy seasons in which the rust would have been more harsh, resulting in reduced wheat harvests. Laws banning barberry were established in 1660 in [[Rouen]], France. This was due to the fact that European farmers noticed a correlation between barberry and stem rust epidemics in wheat. The law banned the planting of barberry near wheat fields and was the first of its kind.<ref name=Schumann00>{{Cite journal| title=Stem rust of wheat (black rust)| journal=The Plant Health Instructor| author=Schumann, G.L.| author2=Leonard, K. J. |doi=10.1094/PHI-I-2000-0721-01| orig-year=2000|year=2011}}</ref>

The parasitic nature of stem rust was discovered in the 1700s. Two Italian scientists, [[Felice Fontana|Fontana]] and [[Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti|Tozzetti]], first explained the stem rust fungus in wheat in 1767.<ref name=Schumann00 /> Italian scientist [[Giuseppe Maria Giovene]] (1753–1837), in his work {{Lang|it|Lettera al dottor Cosimo Moschettini sulla ruggine}}, also thoroughly studied the stem rust.<ref>{{cite book|author=Giovene, Giuseppe Maria |title=Raccolta di tutte le opere del chiarissimo cavaliere Giuseppe Maria Giovene con note dell'editore Luigi Marinelli Giovene: Memorie fisico agrarie|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RsF6DcPB7Z0C&pg=152|year=1839|publisher=Cannone|pages=152–}}</ref> Thirty years later it received its name, ''Puccinia graminis'', by [[Christiaan Hendrik Persoon|Persoon]], and in 1854 brothers [[Louis René Tulasne|Louis René]] and [[Charles Tulasne]] discovered the characteristic five-spore stage that is known in some stem rust species. The brothers were also able to make a connection between the red (urediniospore) and black (teliospore) spores as different stages within the life cycle of the same organism, but the rest of the stages remained unknown.<ref name=Schumann00 />

[[Anton de Bary]] later conducted experiments to observe the beliefs of European farmers regarding the relationship between the rust and barberry plants, and after connecting the basidiospores of the basidia stage to barberry, he also identified that the aeciospores in the aecia stage reinfect the wheat host. Upon de Bary's discovery of all five spore stages and their need for barberry as a host, [[John Hubert Craigie|John Craigie]], a Canadian pathologist, identified the function of the [[spermogonium]] in 1927.<ref name=Schumann00 />

Due to the useful nature of both barberry and wheat plants, they were eventually brought to [[North America]] by European colonists. Barberry was used for many things like making wine and jams from the berries to tool handles from the wood. Ultimately, as they did in Europe, the colonists began to notice a relationship between barberry and stem rust epidemics in wheat. Laws were enacted in many [[New England]] colonies, but as the farmers moved west, the problem with stem rust moved with them and began to spread to many areas, creating a devastating epidemic in 1916. It was not until two years later in 1918 that the [[United States]] created a program to remove barberry. The program was one that was supported by state and federal entities and was partly prompted by the threat it posed to food supplies during [[World War I]]. The "war against barberries" was waged and called upon the help of citizens through radio and newspaper advertisements, pamphlets, and fair booths asking for help from all in the attempt to rid the barberry bushes of their existence. Later, in 1975–1980, the program was reestablished under state jurisdiction. Once this happened, a federal quarantine was established against the sale of stem rust susceptible barberry in those states that were part of the program. A barberry testing program was created to ensure that only those species and varieties of barberry that are immune to stem rust will be grown in the quarantine area.<ref name=Schumann00 />

''P. graminis'' is a member of the phylum [[Basidiomycota]] within the kingdom [[Fungi]]. The characteristic [[Rust (color)|rust color]] on stems and leaves is typical of a general stem rust as well as any variation of this type of fungus. Different from most fungi, the rust variations have five [[spore]] stages and alternate between two hosts. Wheat is the primary host, and [[barberry]] is the alternate host.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}

The rust is sometimes termed "red rust" or "red dust"<ref name=vincent2011>{{cite web | title=Wheat disease a threat to global food security |first=Michael |last=Vincent | website=ABC News|publisher= [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] | date=1 March 2011 | url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-03-01/wheat-disease-a-threat-to-global-food-security/1962800 | access-date=27 May 2021}}</ref><ref name=rainy>{{cite web | title=Red Rust of Wheat | website=Rainy River Record | date=15 May 2012| url=https://www.rainyriverrecord.com/node/14484 | access-date=27 May 2021}}</ref> owing to the spores on the leaf surfaces that range from orange to dark-red in color.

====Ug99====
''Pgt'' contains many races of wheat diseases, including some of the most significant in the world. [[Ug99]] began as a race ([[Ug99#TTKSK|TTKSK]]) of ''Pgt'' and now has proliferated into a large number of [[Ug99#Races|races of its own]].{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}

The virulent new race, against which most current wheat strains show no resistance, was identified in 1999. The race was named TTKSK (e.g. isolate Ug99), named after the country where it was identified ([[Uganda]]) and the year of its discovery (1999). It spread to [[Kenya]], then [[Ethiopia]], [[Sudan]] and [[Yemen]], and becomes more virulent as it spreads.  An [[epidemic]] of stem rust on wheat caused by race TTKSK spread across [[Africa]], [[Asia]] and the [[Middle East]], causing major concern due to the large numbers of people dependent on wheat for sustenance,<ref name="red alert" /> thus threatening global [[food security]]. In 2011, after it had spread into [[southern Africa]], the [[Bill Gates Foundation]] donated $40''&nbsp;''million towards research into Ug99, to be spent on critical infrastructure in Africa.<ref name=vincent2011/> Scientists are working on breeding strains of wheat that are resistant to UG99. However, wheat is grown in a broad range of environments. This means that breeding programs would have extensive work remaining to get resistance into regionally adapted germplasms even after resistance is identified.<ref name="red alert" /> Similarly, in 2014, a Ug99 race called "Digalu" emerged and devastated the Digalu variety in Ethiopia.<ref name="Hawkins-2021" />{{rp|25}}

Unusually severe in [[southern Illinois]] in the first week of June, and in west [[central Indiana]], in 1991.<ref name="Roelfs-Long-Roberts-1993" /> TPMK was the worst at 69% of ''Pg''s on wheat in 1997 in the United States – being absent only from the southern Great Plains and the west, but then was down to 10% in 1998. In the upper Great Plains it was already declining – to 26% of samples in 1997, and 12% in 1998. In the most fertile areas of the eastern US it was 96% of ''Pg''s in 1997 but then suddenly fell to 29% in 1998. In a few other locations in the US, and overall across the US, this race declined 97–98 in favor of other races, and not because of overall ''Pg'' decline.<ref name="McVey-Long-Roberts-2002" />

==Pathology==
The stem rust fungus attacks the parts of the plant that are above ground. Spores that land on green wheat plants form a pustule that invades the outer layers of the stalk.<ref name="red alert"/> Infected plants produce fewer [[Tiller (botany)|tillers]] and set fewer seed, and in cases of severe infection the plant may die. Infection can reduce what is an apparently healthy crop about three weeks before harvest into a black tangle of broken stems and shriveled grains by harvest.<ref name=Singh08>{{Cite journal |last=Singh |first=Ravi P. |author2=Hodson, David |author3=Huerta-Espino, Julio |author4=Jin, Yue |author5=Njau, Peter |author6=Wanyera, Ruth |author7=Herrera-Foessel, Sybil |author8=Ward, Richard W. |display-authors=3 |title=Will Stem Rust Destroy The World's Wheat Crop? |journal=Advances in Agronomy |year=2008 |volume=98 |pages=272–309 |doi=10.1016/S0065-2113(08)00205-8 |url=https://naldc-legacy.nal.usda.gov/naldc/download.xhtml?id=36520&content=PDF |isbn=9780123743558 |access-date=2018-12-29 |archive-date=2020-11-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108063602/https://naldc-legacy.nal.usda.gov/naldc/download.xhtml?id=36520&content=PDF |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Stem rust of cereals causes yield losses in several ways:<ref name=Schumann00 />
* Fungus absorbs nutrients that would otherwise be used for grain development.
* Pustules break through epidermis, which disrupt the plant's control of transpiration and can lead to [[desiccation]] and infection by other fungi. 
* Interference with plant vascular tissue leads to shriveled grains.
* The fungus weakens the stems, which can lead to lodging (falling over). In severe cases lodging can make mechanical harvesting impossible.

==Signs and symptoms==

===On wheat===
[[File:Stem rust on differential lines wheat.jpg|thumb|[[Race differential]] (Infected and uninfected depending on specific [[Disease resistance|resistance gene]]s)|alt=[[Race differential]] (Infected and uninfected leaves, depending on specific [[Disease resistance|resistance gene]]s)]]
Stem rust on wheat is characterized by the presence of uredinia on the plant, which are brick-red, elongated, blister-like pustules that are easily shaken off. They most frequently occur on the leaf sheaths, but are also found on [[Plant stem|stems]], [[Leaf|leaves]], [[glume]]s and [[Awn (botany)|awns]]. On leaves they develop mostly on the underside but may penetrate to the upperside. On leaf sheaths and glumes pustules rupture the epidermis, giving a ragged appearance.<ref name=Singh08 />

Towards the end of the growing season black [[telium|telia]] are produced. For this reason stem rust is also known as "black rust". The telia are firmly attached to the plant tissue.<ref name=Singh08 />

The site of infection is a visible symptom of the disease.

===On barberry===
Pycnia appear on [[barberry]] plants in the spring, usually in the upper leaf surfaces. They are often in small clusters and exude [[pycniospore]]s in a sticky honeydew. Five to ten days later, cup-shaped structures filled with orange-yellow, powdery [[aeciospore]]s break through the lower leaf surface. The aecial cups are yellow and sometimes elongate to extend up to {{convert|5|mm|in|frac=64}} from the leaf surface.<ref name=Schumann00 /> So important is its role in maintenance of prevalence that since the near extermination of the [[alternate host]] from the northern [[Great Plains]] in the United States, epidemics in crops have become rare.<ref name="Roelfs-Long-Roberts-1993" />

==Life cycle==
[[File:Puccina graminis lifecycle.gif|frameless|right]]
Like other ''[[Puccinia]]'' species, ''P.&nbsp;graminis'' is an [[obligate biotroph]] (it colonizes living plant cells) and has a complex life cycle<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeuP5IYP5HA Animated video of the life cycle of stem rust]</ref> featuring [[alternation of generations]]. The fungus is [[heteroecious]], requiring two hosts to complete its life cycle – the cereal host and the [[alternate host]].<ref name=Schumann00 /> There are many species in ''[[Berberis]]'' and ''[[Mahonia]]'' (and their hybrid genus ''[[Mahoberberis|x Mahoberberis]]'') that are susceptible to stem rust, but the [[Berberis vulgaris|common barberry]] (''B. vulgaris'') is considered to be the most important alternate host.<ref name="Singh08" /> ''P.&nbsp;graminis'' is macrocyclic<ref name="Schumann00" /> (exhibits all five of the [[Rust fungus#Spores|spore types]] that are known for rust fungi<ref name="Peterson74">{{cite journal|last=Peterson|first=Ronald H.|title=The rust fungus life cycle|journal=The Botanical Review|year=1974|volume=40|issue=4|pages=453–513|doi=10.1007/BF02860021|bibcode=1974BotRv..40..453P |s2cid=45598137}}</ref>).

''P. graminis'' can complete its life cycle either with or without barberry (the alternate host).<ref name=Schumann00 />

''P. g. tritici''{{'}}s [[obligately biotrophic]] lifestyle involves the dramatic up-regulation of particular gene transcriptions, constituting its biotrophy genomic features. These genomic regions have parallels in other eukaryotic plant pathogens. These parallels – between these independently evolved and unrelated sets of genes – show a strong and broad pattern of [[convergent evolution]] around the [[plant pathogen]]ic [[lifestyle (biology)|lifestyle]].<ref name="Duplessis-et-al-2011">{{cite journal | last1=Duplessis | first1=S. | last2=Cuomo | first2=C.

===Life cycle on barberry===
Due to its cyclical nature, there is no true 'start point' for this process. Here, the production of [[urediniospore]]s is arbitrarily chosen as a start point.

Urediniospores are formed in structures called uredinia, which are produced by fungal [[Mycelium|mycelia]] on the cereal host 1–2 weeks after infection. The urediniospores are [[Dikaryon|dikaryotic]] (contain two un-fused, haploid nuclei in one cell) and are formed on individual stalks within the [[uredinium]]. They are spiny and brick-red. Urediniospores are the only type of spores in the rust fungus life cycle that are capable of infecting the host on which they are produced, and this is therefore referred to as the 'repeating stage' of the life cycle. It is the spread of urediniospores that allows infection to spread from one cereal plant to another.<ref name=Schumann00 /> This phase can rapidly spread the infection over a wide area.

Towards the end of the cereal host's growing season, the mycelia produce structures called telia. Telia produce a type of spore called [[teliospore]]s. These black, thick-walled spores are [[Dikaryon|dikaryotic]]. They are the only form in which ''Puccinia graminis'' is able to overwinter independently of a host.<ref name=Schumann00 />

Each teliospore undergoes [[karyogamy]] (fusion of nuclei) and [[meiosis]] to form four haploid spores called [[basidiospore]]s. This is an important source of genetic recombination in the life cycle. Basidiospores are thin-walled and colourless. They cannot infect the cereal host, but can infect the alternative host (barberry).<ref name=Schumann00 /> They are usually carried to the alternative host by wind.

Once basidiospores arrive on a leaf of the alternative host, they germinate to produce a [[mycelium]] (which is [[haploid]]) that directly penetrates the epidermis and colonises the leaf. Once inside the leaf the mycelium produces specialised infection structures called pycnia. The pycnia produce two types of haploid gametes, the [[pycniospore]]s and the receptive hyphae. The pycniospores are produced in a sticky honeydew that attracts insects. The insects carry pycniospores from one leaf to another. Splashing raindrops can also spread pycniospores. A pycniospore can fertilise a receptive hypha of the opposite [[mating type]], leading to the production of a [[mycelium]] that is [[Dikaryon|dikaryotic]]. This is the sexual stage of the life cycle and cross-fertilisation provides an important source of genetic recombination.<ref name=Schumann00 />

This dikaryotic mycelium then forms structures called [[Aecium|aecia]], which produce a type of dikaryotic spores called [[aeciospore]]s. These have a worty appearance and are formed in chains – unlike the urediniospores that are spiny and are produced on individual stalks. The chains of aeciospores are surrounded by a bell-like enclosure of fungal cells. The aeciospores are able to germinate on the cereal host but not on the alternative host (they are produced on the alternative host, which is usually barberry). They are carried by wind to the cereal host where they germinate and the germ tubes penetrate into the plant. The fungus grows inside the plant as a dikaryotic mycelium. Within 1–2 weeks the mycelium produces uredinia and the cycle is complete.<ref name=Schumann00 />

===Life cycle without barberry===
Since the urediniospores are produced on the cereal host and can infect the cereal host, it is possible for the infection to pass from one year's crop to the next without infecting the alternate host (barberry). For example, infected volunteer wheat plants can serve as a bridge from one growing season to another. In other cases the fungus passes between winter wheat and spring wheat, meaning that it has a cereal host all year round. Since the urediniospores are wind dispersed, this can occur over large distances.<ref name=Schumann00 /> Note that this cycle consists simply of vegetative propagation – urediniospores infect one wheat plant, leading to the production of more urediniospores that then infect other wheat plants.

==Spore dispersal==
''Puccinia graminis'' produces all five of the [[Rust (fungus)#Spores|spore types that are known for rust fungi]].<ref name=Schumann00 />

Spores are typically deposited close to the source, but long-distance dispersal is also well documented<ref name=Singh08 /> commonly out to hundreds of kilometres/miles.<ref name="Gross-2013">{{cite journal | last=Gross | first=Michael | title=Pests on the move | journal=[[Current Biology]] | publisher=[[Cell Press]] | volume=23 | issue=19 | year=2013 | issn=0960-9822 | doi=10.1016/j.cub.2013.09.034 | pages=R855–R857 | pmid=24251330 | s2cid=15559913| doi-access=free | bibcode=2013CBio...23.R855G }}</ref> The following three categories of long-distance dispersal are known to occur:<ref name=Singh08 />
*'''Extremely long-distance dispersal'''
This can occur unassisted (the robust nature of the spores allows them to be carried long distances in the air and then deposited by rain-scrubbing) or assisted (typically on human clothing or infected plant material that is transported between regions).<ref name=Singh08 /> This type of dispersal is rare and is very difficult to predict.<ref name=Singh08 /> This is especially known to rarely occur across thousands of km/mi from South Africa to Western Australia.<ref name="Sounding-Alarm">{{cite report | url=http://bgri.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/SoundingAlarmGlobalRust.pdf | title=Sounding the Alarm on Global Stem Rust | publisher=[[Borlaug Global Rust Initiative]] | quote-page=4 | quote=Like all...}}</ref><ref name="Watson-et-al-1966">{{cite journal | author1=Watson, I A.|author2= Cass Smith, W.

*'''Step-wise range expansion'''
This is probably the most common mode of long-distance dispersal and usually occurs within a country or region.<ref name=Singh08 /> 
*'''Extinction and recolonisation'''
This occurs in areas that have unsuitable conditions for year-round survival of ''Puccinia graminis'' – typically temperate regions where hosts are absent during either the winter or summer.<ref name=Singh08 /> Spores overwinter or oversummer in another region and then recolonise when conditions are favorable.<ref name=Singh08 />

{{anchor|Sr|Resistance genes}}

== Wheat stem rust resistance genes ==
A number of stem rust [[R gene|resistance genes]] (Sr genes) have been identified in wheat.<ref name=Singh-et-al-2011 /> Some of them arose in [[bread wheat]] (e.g. ''Sr5'' and ''Sr6''), while others have been bred in from other [[wheat]] species (e.g. ''Sr21'' from ''[[Triticum monococcum|T. monococcum]]'') or from other members of the tribe ''[[Triticeae]]'' (e.g. ''Sr31'' from [[rye]]<ref name="Hawkins-2021" />{{rp|15}} and ''Sr44'' from ''[[Thinopyrum intermedium]]'').

None of the Sr genes provide resistance to all races of stem rust. For instance many of them are ineffective against the [[Ug99]] lineage.<ref name=Singh11>{{cite journal| last=Singh| first=Ravi P.| author2=Hodson, David P. |author3=Huerta-Espino, Julio |author4=Jin, Yue |author5=Bhavani, Sridhar |author6=Njau, Peter |author7=Herrera-Foessel, Sybil |author8=Singh, Pawan K. |author9=Singh, Sukhwinder |author10= Govindan, Velu |title=The Emergence of Ug99 Races of the Stem Rust Fungus is a Threat to World Wheat Production| journal=[[Annual Review of Phytopathology]]| date= 2011| volume=49| issue=1| pages=465–481| doi=10.1146/annurev-phyto-072910-095423| pmid=21568701}} SB [[ORCID]]: [http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4091-2608 0000-0002-4091-2608].</ref> Notably Ug99 has [[virulence]] against ''Sr31'', which was effective against all previous stem rust races. Recently, a new stem rust resistance gene ''Sr59'' from ''[[Secale cereale]]'' was introgressed into wheat, which provides an additional asset for wheat improvement to mitigate yield losses caused by stem rust.
