New Races of Hemileia vastatrix Detected in Peruvian Coffee Fields

Coffee leaf rust (CLR), a fungal disease caused by Hemileia vastatrix, represents Peru’s most significant threat to coffee production. The CLR epidemic (2012–2013) led Peru to implement an emergency plan under which coffee plantations underwent renewal using rust-resistant varieties derived from a Timor hybrid (HDT; Coffea arabica × canephora hybrid) like Catimors. Nevertheless, new pathogenic rust races capabl...

Screening for Resistance to Coffee Leaf Rust

Coffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by Hemileia vastatrix (Hv), is one of the main limiting factors of Arabica coffee production worldwide. Breeding for rust resistance is the most appropriate and sustainable strategy to control CLR. The char-acterization of coffee resistance to Hv, initiated in the 1930s in India, expanded with the creation of Coffee Rusts Research Center (CIFC) in 1955, in Portugal. Since then, th...

Coffee Leaf Rust Resistance: An Overview

Coffee is one of the most important cash crops and beverages. Several diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses can affect coffee plantations and compromise production. Coffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by the biotrophic fungus Hemileia vastatrix is the top fungal disease, representing a permanent threat to sustainable Arabica coffee production for more than a century. This review provides a comprehensive su...
