Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most important diseases threatening wheat production both in Turkey and worldwide. However, the underlying genetic dynamics of Pst populations are not fully known in Turkey. To determine the population genetic structure and migration network among regional Pst populations, a total of 140 Pst isolates collected from six geographical regions of Turkey from 2018 to 2020 were sampled and genotyped using 21 simple sequence repeat loci. A total of 70 multilocus genotypes were identified and classified into the three major genetic groups by Bayesian assignment. The highest genotypic diversity was detected in Southeastern Anatolia, showing its critical role as one of the source populations to trigger possible stripe rust epidemics. Analysis of molecular variance revealed the highest variation (90.25%) within isolates. The migration network generated by the number of effective migrants showed that the highest migration (1.0) was determined between Southeastern Anatolia and Central Anatolia, and considerable levels of migration (>0.2) were determined among the other regions, except for the Black Sea. Linkage equilibrium (P ≥ 0.05) was detected for many geographical regions, except for Marmara (P = 0.00) and the Mediterranean (P = 0.03), suggesting that reproduction of Pst populations is most likely sexual or mixed (sexual and clonal). To sum up, this is the first study on the genetic relationships and population genetic structure of the Pst population in Turkey, and these findings may provide critical information to develop management strategies for wheat stripe rust.
