The importance of wheat yellow rust disease, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), has increased substantially due to the emergence of aggressive new Pst races in the last couple of decades. In an era of escalating human populations and climate change, it is vital to understand the infection mechanism of Pst in order to develop better strategies to combat wheat yellow disease. The present study focuses on the identification of small secreted proteins (SSPs) and candidate-secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) that are used by the pathogen to support infection and control disease development. We generated de novo assembled transcriptomes of Pst collected from wheat fields in central Anatolia. We inoculated both susceptible and resistant seedlings with Pst and analyzed haustoria formation. At 10 days post-inoculation (dpi), we analyzed the transcriptomes and identified 10550 Differentially Expressed Unigenes (DEGs), of which 6072 were Pst-mapped. Among those Pst-related genes, 227 were predicted as PstSSPs. In silico characterization was performed using an approach combining the transcriptomic data and datamining results to provide a reliable list to narrow down the ever-expanding repertoire of predicted effectorome. The comprehensive analysis detected 14 Differentially Expressed Small-Secreted Proteins (DESSPs) that overlapped with the genes in available literature data to serve as the best CSEPs for experimental validation. One of the CSEPs was cloned and studied to test the reliability of the presented data. Biological assays show that the randomly selected CSEP, Unigene17495 (PSTG 10917), localizes in the chloroplast and is able to suppress cell death induced by INF1 in a Nicotiana benthamiana heterologous expression system.

Detection of differentially expressed genes upon compatible and incompatible inoculation of wheat with yellow rust using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) Çelik, İlay; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2007) Yellow rust disease is one of the most important problems in wheat production. It causes substantial yield losses throughout the world. There are resistant and susceptible wheat varieties to various yellow rust pathotypes. In this thesis genes that are induced in wheat, in virulence and avirulence conditions upon yellow rust inoculations were investigated. Consequently, it was aimed to identify genes that may be playing critical roles in the disease resistance mechanism. The strategy was to construct subtra...
Bacterial expression of an effector protein of yellow rust pathogen and a resistance protein of wheat and characterization of the effector protein Erdoğan, Sayıt Mahmut; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Yellow rust is one of the most important wheat disease encountered in large parts of the world and in our country caused by a pathogen which is called as Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Rapid alterations in the pathogen virulency can make previously resistant varieties susceptible to the disease. Finding out common or species-specific genes, participated in the plant-pathogen interactions will provide an understanding of the biological mechanisms of the disease. Within the scope of this thesis fo...
Transfer of stripe rust resistance gene Yr26 to Turkish wheats using microsatellite markers Yildirim, A; Karadag, Y; Sakin, MA; Gokmen, S; Kandemir, N; Akkaya, Mahinur; Yildirim, F (2004-01-01) Stripe rust (yellow rust) is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat worldwide. The most effective control method of stripe rust is the use of resistance genes. A very effective stripe rust resistance gene, Yr26, originating from Triticum turgidum L., was transferred into two common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars of Turkey through backcrossing using closely linked microsatellite markers. A 6VS/6AL translocation line (92R149) was used as the source of Yr26 because this gene was originally thoug...
In Turkish wheat cultivars the resistance allele of LR34 is ineffective against leaf rust Yildirim, Kubilay; Boylu, Baris; Atici, Elif; Kahraman, Turhan; Akkaya, Mahinur (2012-10-01) Rust and powdery mildew diseases of wheat are among the oldest and most harmful diseases confining the yield of wheat worldwide. Development of resistant wheat cultivars with durable or race-nonspecific resistance genes is the main objective for many breeding programs. One of these genes, Lr34/Yr18/Pm38, was found to confer partial and durable resistance against rust pathogens as well as powdery mildew. This multiple disease resistant locus was recently found to comprise a single gene, which encodes an aden...
Characterization of yellow rust and stem rust resistant and sensitive durum wheat lines at molecular level by using biophysical methods Kansu, Çiğdem; Kaya, Zeki; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2011) Stem rust and Yellow rust diseases are the two major wheat fungal diseases causing considerable yield losses in Turkey and all around the world. There are studies which are carried out to identify and utilize resistance sources in order to obtain resistant lines of wheat. However, virulent pathotypes are continuously being important threats to wheat production and yield. For that reason, new approaches for rapid identification are needed. The aim of this study was to investigate and to understand the struct...
