This document summarizes the status of stripe rust research in India. It discusses the establishment of wheat research programs in India, monitoring of wheat rust diseases, identification of resistant wheat varieties, and strategies for managing stripe rust. Key points include the establishment of the All India Coordinated Wheat Improvement Project in 1965, monitoring of rust pathogens through trap plot nurseries, identification of multiple resistant varieties, and the importance of resistance breeding and surveillance to prevent rust epidemics. Timely monitoring and advisories were estimated to have saved over 5 million tons of wheat production worth $5.4 billion during a 2009 outbreak.
