Can’t wait to see our book in print. With 22 comprehensive chapters (419 pp), the book will be very useful to those who aspire to work on wheat rusts & genetics of disease resistance. The book cover pic is the photo that I took in 2013 from a wheat field near Stornoway, SK.

Couldn’t resist dropping some early morning shots showing active sporulation. These are some easy culls. Such a disease pressure helps us increase genetic gains for rust resistance in future wheat varieties!

Creston stripe rust nursery is another (other than Surrey nursery) integral part of my breeding program. Excellent rust expression & already killing poor lines here. #PublicWheatBreeding #Genetics_at_work These nurseries help us build stripe rust resistance in Canadian wheat.

🌾A good day for cereal rust community! Thrilled to share our 5 yrs work with revolutionary discoveries on wheat & barley stripe rust fungi+we present the most comprehensive genomic resource (54 haploid genomes) ever developed for any wheat rust fungi. 1/n shorturl.at/xmHFI

My intuition from my MSc stripe rust work & what I hypothesized in 2018-here we proved I was right: PstS18-the most predominant stripe rust lineage in North America-is a somatic hybrid of PstS1 (former most predominant lineage that was introduced from east Africa ~year 2000). 2/n

Presenting 1st ever haplophased genome of barley stripe rust (Psh)+evidence for likely somatic hybridization in Psh. Interestingly, Psh isn't much different from Pst & difference is similar to what we find b/w diverse Pst lineages. We found genes that makes Psh, Psh & not Pst.3/n
