Rust of pulses world distribution U. pisi U. viciae fabae Host species distribution or specific climatic requirements may be responsible for the sporadic appearance of the disease under Australian conditions, particularly in southern cropping areas. The risk of a more aggressive race developing remains distinctly possible. K. Lindbeck 2013 Contingency Plan, Plant Health Australia

Pre-emptive breeding program U. viciae fabae Field trials/isolate collection Project outputs: Evaluation of Australian field pea and lentil breeding lines for rust response (field trials and against multiple isolates) Current information on the species distribution, and pathogen population structure in key cropping areas. Parental genetic stocks in elite adapted Australian background with resistance to U. viciae-fabae (lentil and field pea) and/or U. pisi (field pea). Molecular markers flanking rust-resistant loci (within 2cM) in lentil and field pea.
2014-15 trials in Spain Field trials in Cordoba, Spain sown in December and evaluated through March-May 2014; 84 field pea accessions of P. sativum sativum from Spain and 221 lentil accessions (211 Lens culinaris, 3 L. culinaris odemensis, 5 L. ervoides, 2 L. nigricans) were evaluated. Disease severity (%) in field pea upon infection with U. pisi isolate Up- Co01 under field conditions. Above is the outlier and quantile box plot.

2014-15 trials in Ethiopia (lentil) The lentil Australian (n=80) and Ethiopian materials (n= 110) were evaluated at the research stations at Chefe Donsa, (08 44 N, and 38 95 E, 2400 m.a.s.l) and Sinana (7 N latitude and 40 E longitude; and 2400 m.a.s.l.) in September 2014 during the main cropping season under natural rust infections. Dr Seid Ahmed & Dr Negussie Tedesse The nursery was planted in a single 1m-row with three replications at Chefe Donsa (Fig. 1) and two replication at Sinana. Every 10 test entries, susceptible and resistant lentil referent genotypes were planted at both stations. The field trial sites were surrounded by local landraces highly susceptible to rust. It is noted that El-142 (S-reference) will be replaced by another more susceptible line in the coming season.

Lindbeck s contingency plan for rust of field pea and lentil Medium (sexual and asexual stages with passengers and food; difficult to visualised High (established in AU on other pulse crops over a wide geographic and climatic area; field pea and most lentil cultivars in Australia are susceptible to U. viciaefabae rust; late detection) High (wind dispersal of spores; can reproduce every 8-10 days; broad host range; spores transported in seed or machinery for long distances; wind-blown plant debris) Medium (substantial diseases severity in susceptible cultivars)
