    Strengthening regional collaboration and national capacities for management of wheat rust diseases and resistance breeding in Central Asia and the Caucasus (CAC-Rust) 2021
    The CAC-Rust project has been developed to address wheat rust diseases faced by the countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus. The project will facilitate regional collaboration and strengthen national capacities to improve surveillance, race analysis and integrated disease management. It will also support the development and deployment of disease resistant varieties. The project will support activities in key domains: • facilitation of regional collaboration and networking, training of national technical officers, • support for disease surveillance, race analysis and mapping in support of the global rust monitoring system, • characterization of the resistance properties of popular varieties, • support for breeding programmes for developing resistant varieties, • integrated disease management and farmer training, • development of national strategies and contingency plans, and • strengthen the capacities of institutions for rust management. The primary beneficiaries of the project will be the national institutions and officers involved in research, extension, seed systems, and plant protection, as well as the farmers in the seven countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus. Neighbouring countries and surrounding regions would also benefit from the knowledge generated.

    Soybean (Glycine max L.) is increasingly playing an important nutritive role in the food and feed industry in most developing countries. However the crop is currently threatened by Soybean rust disease (SRD) caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. This review provides general information on soybean rust, worldwide disease threats and case studies of widely used resistance breeding approaches. Currently, soybean rust is known to have spread from Asia to most developing countries in Africa and South Amer ica through continental movement of urediniospores.
