This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on rust
diseases of cereals. The first chapter provides an overview of the
wheat rust pathogen lifecycle that has been critical to the design
of effective disease management strategies and discusses recent
integration of basic biological knowledge and genomic-led tools
within an epidemiological framework. The second chapter introduces
stripe rust and provides an overview of its decimation of crop
yields worldwide. The chapter summarises recent advances in
identifying stripe rust resistance genes in wheat as a means of
controlling disease spread and limiting its economic damage. The
third chapter addresses the need for more effective and sustainable
control of rust pathogens affecting wheat and barley in the face of
increasing regulatory measures against the use of conventional
fungicides, as well as the spread of fungicide resistance. The
fourth chapter provides an overview of the recent advances in
controlling wheat rust, focussing on the role of pathogen and host
genetics, host-pathogen interactions, epidemiology and management
strategies. The final chapter considers the main rust pathogens
affecting sorghum and details the different conditions in which
they proliferate, their symptoms and impact on crop yields.
