Césarée Morier-Gxoyiya@cesaree-mg.bsky.social · 2mo agoOne question that stuck with me early in my PhD was whether the experimental data underpinning wheat stem rust epidemiological models were still fit for purpose. Our new review digs into the evidence, how it’s used in models, and where the biggest gaps remain.

Strengthening Predictive Models for Wheat Stem Rust Infection Risk in a Changing Climate: Gaps and Opportunities
Here we review environmental data underpinning epidemiological models for wheat stem rust, highlighting gaps that, once addressed, would significantly enhance the predictive power of these tools.
