Australian Cereal Rust Control Program web resource

Under GRDC project UOS2301-003RTX, we tested 52 Australian barley varieties and 365 CAIGE (CIMMYT ICARDA Australia Germplasm Enhancement) barley lines against exotic pathogen Puccinia strifformis f. sp hordei (Psh) race 24 (PshMEX-1) at Toluca, Mexico (CIMMYT) to identify rust resistant/susceptible germplasm to barley yellow rust. Data for Ausbars and CAIGE are in two separate worksheets. For each line, there are 3 readings on a modified Cobb scale capturing Disease severity and Infection type.
