New *Puccinia triticina* pathotypes, 57 and 20-2, exhibiting novel virulence on wheat leaf rust resistance genes Lr3 and Lr15 respectively, were identified through in situ mutation events.

This preprint investigated new wheat leaf rust pathotypes of the fungus Puccinia triticina after periodic purity checks of existing repository pathotypes (107-1 and 20) in Shimla, India, when mixed infection types were observed on differential wheat lines carrying Lr3 and Lr15. The authors isolated single pustules to obtain pure cultures and identified new pathotypes, 57 and 20-2, reporting one-step gains in virulence on the corresponding resistance genes, and they argue these differences (and absence in field samples) indicate virulence mutation occurring in situ. To assess novelty, they describe analyzing differential reactions, avirulence/virulence structure, and DNA polymorphism using SSR markers, maintaining the new cultures in the repository as PrtI 57 and PrtI 20-2. The paper is a Research Square preprint that has not undergone peer review, which the authors explicitly state. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract During the periodic purity checks of pathotypes 107-1(45R35=JCGPL) and 20(5R27=SGQPL) of Puccinia triticina in national repository at Shimla, India, mixtures of infection types were observed on the differential Lr3 and Lr15 , respectively. Single pustule isolations and further pure cultures in both the cases yielded new pathotypes designated as 57(45R39= KGTPL) and 20-2(57R27= SHKPL). Pathotype 57 was one step gain in virulence on Lr3 in 107-1 whereas 20-2 on Lr15 in mother culture of pathotype 20. The difference of virulence on one gene to each mother culture and their non occurrence in the field samples is indicative of mutation for virulence in situ . To ascertain the novelty of new pathotypes, detailed study on differentials, avirulence/virulence structure, DNA polymorphism using SSR markers, and other related information is presented in this publication. The new cultures are being maintained as PrtI 57 and PrtI 20-2 in the repository.
