The gene Yr17, conferring resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, was introduced into northern European wheat cultivars in the mid 1970s. Virulence for Yr17 was not detected until 1994, when it was identified in the UK and Denmark. In both countries, susceptible Yr17 cultivars were grown on an increasingly large area over the next four years and this was followed by a rise in the frequency of corresponding virulence to 100%. Elsewhere in northern Europe Yr17 cultivars were grown on a relatively small scale during this period. However, Virulence for Yr17 was detected in France and Germany in 1997 and reached a frequency in excess of 70% by 1999, suggesting an influx of pathogen spores from UK or Denmark. Migration of pathogen spores around northern Europe clearly plays an important role in determining the virulence composition of local populations of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici. It is vital that this should be reflected in cooperation between national Virulence monitoring projects.
