II. Gaps in wheat rust research
We value your opinion on the following questions regarding the current status and needs in global wheat rust research:

1. What do you see as the key challenges in surveillance techniques and logisitics?

2. What do you see as the key challenges in race analysis, nursery innoculation, scoring, and trap nurseries?

3. What challenges do you face in maintaining awareness of the latelst knowledge of effective resistance genes?

4. Are you learning abour new rust races and their distribution as fast as you would like to? If not, what hurdles do you face?

5. Do you have outlets to share your knowledge as rapidly as you would like?

6. How is wheat stem rust research limited by infrastructure/capacity?

7. What gaps exist in our ability to track pathogens?

8. What are the greatest outstanding gaps in breeding stem rust resistant wheat varieties?

9. Where should investments be made in molecular marker research?

10. What are the major gaps in knowledge of wheat or wheat rust research?

11. What should be addressed?
12. What is missing in the current portfolio of wheat rust projects?
13. What is your vision for the:
a. Immediate future?
b. Next 3 years?
c. Next five years?
d. Next ten years?

John,

This is a story of a pathogen. This pathogen had no friends and hated going to school. So one day the pathogen's mother told the pathogen that no matter what the other pathogens at school said the pathogen should never listen to them.

The next day, the pathogen went to school. And some of the other pathogens said mean things to him, things like "you couldn't catch a cold if you tried" and other nasty things that might not seem so mean to people like you and me but we're not pathogens. They are an odd bunch.
