Results from greenhouse
tests just to hand have demonstrated the occurrence of a new
pathotype of the barley leaf rust pathogen Puccinia hordei
with virulence for Rph3. This is the first report of
virulence for Rph3 in Australia and the new pathotype will
be expected to have an impact on barley varieties carrying
the matching resistance gene, notably cultivars Fitzroy and
Yarra, and likely Starmalt.
