RESUMO
Stripe rust of wheat and barley is caused by different formae speciales, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) and P. striiformis f. sp. hordei (Psh), respectively. To understand the relationship between the populations of the two formae speciales, a total of 260 P. striiformis isolates, including 140 from barley and 120 from wheat collected from Linzhi, Tibet, China, from 2018 to 2020, were tested on 18 barley and 13 wheat genotypes and genotyped with 26 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers. As a result, 260 isolates were identified as 83 virulence phenotypes (VPs), 115 of which as 9 VPs and could infect only wheat (wheat population), 111 as 54 VPs and could infect only barley (barley population), and 34 belonged to 20 VPs that could infect both wheat and barley (mixed population). Of the 149 multilocus genotypes (MLGs) that were identified, 92 were from wheat, 56 from barley, and 1 from both wheat and barley. Phenotypic and genotypic diversity was high in the populations from wheat and barley. Low linkage disequilibrium was found in most of the sampling sites of both crops, indicating strong signs of sexual reproduction (|rÌd| = 0.022 to 0.393, P = 0.004 to 0.847), whereas it was not observed in the overall population (wheat and barley sources) and the wheat, barley, and mixed populations, which may be because of the complex composition of isolates. Population structure analyses based on phenotyping and SNP-KASP genotypes supported the separation of the two formae speciales. However, MLGs and clusters containing isolates from both wheat and barley obviously indicated sexual genetic recombination between the two formae speciales. The results of the study provided an insight into evolution of Pst and Psh and showed the importance of management strategies for stripe rust of wheat and barley in regions where both crops are grown.

The wheat yellow rust pathogen has been shown to be diverse and potentially originated in the Himalayan region. Although Himalayan populations of Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan have been previously compared, little is known about the relative divergence and diversity in Puccinia striiformis populations in the bordering regions of Pakistan and China. To assess the relative diversity and divergence in these regions of Pakistan (Gilgit-Baltistan, Hazara and Azad Jammu Kashmir) and China (Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan), a total of 1245 samples were genotyped using 17 microsatellite SSR markers. A clear divergence was observed between the bordering regions of Pakistan and China (FST = 0.28) without any resampling of genetic groups and multilocus genotypes across two sides of the Himalayan mountains. The closest subpopulations across the two countries were Xinjiang and Gilgit-Baltistan (Nei's distance = 0.147), which were close geographically. A very high diversity and recombinant population structure was observed in both populations, though slightly higher in China (Genotypic diversity = 0.970; r¯d = 0.000) than in Pakistan (Genotypic diversity = 0.902; r¯d = 0.065). The distribution of genetic groups and resampling of MLGs revealed more gene flow across Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan regions in China, while between Hazara and Azad-Jammu Kashmir in Pakistan. The lack of gene flow between Pakistan and China populations is due to geographical barriers and a large patch of land without wheat. The information on the relative diversity and divergence in different geographical zones of the pathogen center of diversity and neighboring region should be considered in resistant wheat deployment while considering the invasion potential of the pathogen at regional and global contexts.

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei (Psh) causing barley stripe rust has only recently been known to be heteroecious, for which reason the inheritance of its virulence has not been analyzed. Herein, we selfed a Psh isolate, XZ-19-972, on Berberis aggregata and obtained 53 progenies. The virulence phenotypes (VPs) for these progenies were identified on 11 barley differentials, and their genotypes were assessed with 22 Kompetitive allele specific PCR-single nucleotide polymorphism (KASP-SNP) markers. In total, 18 VPs were detected among progenies, 17 (VP2-VP18) of which, corresponding to 43 isolates, were different from the parental isolate showing VP1. Of the 53 progenies, 8 exhibited increased virulence and 34 decreased virulence. One progeny, belonging to VP18, showed a different virulence formula but without a virulence increase or decrease. The parental isolate and all progenies were avirulent to yrc6 but virulent to yrc7. The parental isolate was heterozygous in terms of avirulence/virulence to nine barley resistance gene loci. KASP-SNP marker analysis identified 36 multilocus genotypes, based on which a linkage map was constructed, with total genetic distance intervals of 516.07 cM, spanning 16 avirulence or virulence loci. Taken together, our results provide important insights into the inheritance and virulence diversity of Psh.

Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a destructive disease in many countries. In China, wheat stripe rust generally occurs in northwestern and southwestern China and sporadically in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coastal epidemiological region (JZER), where an outbreak of the disease occurred in 2019. To understand the population structure and potential inoculum sources of the pathogen in this region, 171 isolates collected from 93 wheat fields of 53 counties in 10 provinces were phenotyped with two sets of wheat differentials and genotyped with 20 pairs of single-nucleotide polymorphism primers. Phenotype tests indicated that identical races (CYR34, CYR33, Su11-139, and Su11-14-1) detected in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were shared with the oversummering regions (Gansu), overwintering regions (Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi), and Yun-Gui epidemiological regions (Yunnan and Guizhou). In JZER, races CYR32, G22-14, and G22-68 were detected in Jiangsu, but not in Zhejiang, and Su11-208 was identified in Zhejiang, but not in Jiangsu. Genotypic analysis revealed remarkable gene flows among the Jiangsu, Yunnan, Henan, and Anhui populations, as well as those of Zhejiang, Guizhou, and Sichuan, showing that wheat stripe rust in Zhejiang and Jiangsu was from spores that migrated from different routes. Major gene flows were detected between the Jiangsu and Zhejiang populations. P. striiformis f. sp. tritici from both overwintering regions (Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, and Shaanxi) and oversummering regions (Gansu) contributed to the wheat stripe rust epidemic in the JZER region in 2019.

Research on the phonological development of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not yet reached consistent conclusions, and systematic studies from different language groups are needed. This study aimed to systematically investigate the characteristics of phonological development in 3-6 year-old Mandarin-speaking children with ASD. We analyzed 10 min speech samples from 21 children with ASD, 18 development level-matched children with developmental disorders (DD), and 15 chronological age-matched typically developing (TD) children during semi-structured parent-child free play based on Mandarin phonological features. The children with ASD had a significantly smaller inventory than those with TD on the initial and final inventories. The children with ASD had only a significantly smaller initial inventory than those with DD in Phases 2 and 4. Compared with TD children, children with ASD used a higher proportion of V1 and V1V2C and a smaller proportion of V1V2V3, CV1C, and CV1V2C. No significant differences existed between ASD and DD children in the proportion of any syllable structure, but V1V2V3, CV1, and CV1V2C numbers were significantly fewer than in DD children. Children with ASD were significantly greater than children with TD in the diversity of V1V2, CV1, and overall syllables. ASD children had significantly fewer different types of syllables in both V1V2C and CV1 than did DD children and significantly greater diversity in CV1 and overall syllables than did DD children. These preliminary data suggest that the gap between TD and ASD children's language abilities increased with age, and this gap was reflected in initial, final, and syllable complexity and diversity. Children with DD and ASD showed similar language abilities, and children with DD showed detailed differences from those with ASD regarding initial, syllable complexity and diversity.
