Wheat blast was first reported in Brazil in 1985. It spread rapidly across the wheat cropping areas of Brazil to become the most important biotic constraint on wheat production in the region. The alarming appearance of wheat blast in Bangladesh in 2016 greatly increased the urgency to understand this disease, including its causes and consequences. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge of wheat blast and aim to identify the most important gaps in our understanding of the disease. We also propose a research agenda that aims to improve the management of wheat blast and limit its threat to global wheat production.
小麦叶锈病于 1985 年在巴西首次报道。它迅速蔓延到巴西的小麦种植区,成为该地区小麦生产的最重要的生物制约因素。2016 年孟加拉国小麦叶锈病的惊人出现,极大地增加了人们对这种疾病的认识,包括其原因和后果。在这里,我们总结了小麦叶锈病的现有知识状态,并旨在确定我们对该疾病认识的最重要差距。我们还提出了一个研究议程,旨在改善小麦叶锈病的管理,限制其对全球小麦生产的威胁。
