Abstract
To combat the ever-increasing threat of wheat yellow rust worldwide, understanding of the pathogen (Puccinia striiformis) population biology is indispensable. Molecular markers, particularly microsatellites, have been reported to be important tools for deciphering pathogen population structure, invasion sources, and migration history. The utility of these DNA-based markers and sequencing has been increased by the direct DNA extraction from infected leaves with subsequent multiplex-based SSR genotyping. In this chapter we describe the protocol for direct DNA extraction and its genotyping with microsatellite markers in multiplex reactions. We describe the procedure for allele scoring, and various troubles faced during microsatellite scoring and potential solutions for them.
