Early warning for wheat rust
• Surveillance: Where, what, how much, change in time and space• Monitoring : Pathotyping, genotyping and phenotyping• Stability of resistance: What cultivars are attacked/not attacked• Relations and Evolution of (meta)Populations of Puccinia:
• Farming community: Avoid severe epidemics (control measures)• Breeding community: Strategies for breeding of resistant cultivars• Scientific community: Build upon, coordinate and integrate• Political: Food security, Strategic and tactical decisions

• In 2014: TOTAL SETS SENT TO NARS = 241 (Stem, Leaf and Stripe)
• Data responsible should upload own results into the toolbox.
• Data providers will get access to the Wheat Rust Toolbox analysing tools.
• Expert group provide pdf report on gene effectiveness• Include YR TN

Conclusions
• The Wheat Rust Toolbox represents a unique, robust data management system for wheat rust surveillance and monitoring data
• A suite of query and display tools provide new options to interrogate the data
• Patterns and trends across large geographical scales can now be determined very rapidly
• This unique “big picture” overview permits early warning of important changes and allows more informed decision making
