NOTES: Countries are SYR = Syria, LEB = Lebanon, TUR = Turkey, KYR = Kyrgyzstan, TAJ = Tajikistan, AZE<br />

= Azerbaijan. APR = adult plant resistance. Reaction = Field reaction to yellow rust at adult growth stage<br />

over 2 years (1999–2000).<br />

The detection <strong>of</strong> yellow rust variation has traditionally relied upon <strong>the</strong><br />

identification <strong>of</strong> physiological races <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> pathogen population by <strong>in</strong>oculat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a sample <strong>of</strong> pathogen isolates on a series <strong>of</strong> host differential cultivars with<br />

known resistance genes, and observ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> result<strong>in</strong>g compatible or<br />

<strong>in</strong>compatible disease phenotypes. Seedl<strong>in</strong>g resistance is usually race-specific<br />

and can be recognized by its characteristic resistance type at all plant growth<br />

stages. Despite <strong>the</strong>ir limitations, studies <strong>of</strong> physiological races <strong>in</strong> cereal rusts<br />

have been tremendously valuable <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> development and deployment <strong>of</strong> host<br />

resistance, and have provided important <strong>in</strong>sight <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> evolution <strong>of</strong> yellow<br />

rust disease <strong>in</strong> response to host resistance genes.
