N2  - The Wheat Rust Toolbox was developed within the framework of the Borlaug Global Rust Initiative, and partly funded by the Durable Rust Resistance in Wheat (DRRW) project to support early warnings of new aggressive races wheat rust pathogens on a global scale. The Wheat Rust Toolbox is a web-based data management system that controls both inputs and outputs from a centralized database, which is currently populated with wheat rust survey and race data. In 2012 this system is expanding to include other tools, viz. a wheat rust trap nursery database and dissemination tool, and a barberry surveillance and dissemination tool. On-line data entry permits quality controlled and standardized data to be entered into the system. Once validated and approved, data are published and automatically disseminated via a series of interactive graphical and mapping web tools. The dedicated web portal - Rust SPORE (rustspore.cimmyt.org/) provides the primary dissemination mechanism for all of the available information, with several Wheat Rust Toolbox or external visualization and query tools embedded within the web portal. The Wheat Rust Toolbox also permits standardized data exchange with other applications and information systems; for example, the RustMapper tool managed and developed at CIMMYT. The Wheat Rust Toolbox is now a part of the Global Rust Reference Centre at Aarhus University, Denmark (wheatrust.org)
