This project aims to tackle wheat stripe rust, one of the most important fungal diseases of wheat in Australia, causing losses of up to $125 million a year. This project expects to gain insights into the fungal evolution and the molecular mechanism that causes hyper-virulent pathogen isolates. The expected outcome is to identify and characterise multiple genetic factors in the pathogen that contribute to wheat stripe rust epidemics in Australia. This project will contribute to improved disease management strategies to contain wheat stripe rust, resulting in higher wheat yields, reduced application of fungicides and increased revenue for Australian wheat farmers.

该项目旨在解决小麦条锈病，这是澳大利亚最重要的小麦真菌疾病之一，每年造成高达1.25亿澳元的损失。该项目期望深入了解真菌进化和导致超毒力病原体分离株的分子机制。预期的结果是确定和鉴定病原体中导致澳大利亚小麦条锈病流行的多种遗传因素。该项目将有助于改进控制小麦条锈病的疾病管理战略，从而提高小麦产量，减少杀真菌剂的使用，并增加澳大利亚小麦农民的收入。
