Austropuccinia is a monotypic genus of rust (a type of plant pathogen) native to South America with the only species Austropuccinia psidii, commonly known as myrtle rust, guava rust, or ʻōhiʻa rust. It affects plants in the family Myrtaceae. It is a member of the fungal complex called the guava rust (Puccinia psidii) group. [3]
An estimated 168 rust genera and approximately 7,000 species, more than half of which belong to the genus Puccinia, are currently accepted. [3] Rust fungi are highly specialized plant pathogens with several unique features. Taken as a group, rust fungi are diverse and affect many kinds of plants.
Green beans grow at the Midtown Community Garden on Thursday, July 25, 2019 in Springfield, Mo. Q: I have noticed some strange defects on my green beans leaves that look like twisting trails on ...
Leaf spots can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the age and type of the cause or pathogen. Plants, shrubs and trees are weakened by the spots on the leaves as they reduce available foliar space for photosynthesis. Other forms of leaf spot diseases include leaf rust, downy mildew and blights. [4]

When these soybean plants became heavily infested by aphids, the amount of GLV released far surpassed normal levels and as a result, more spotted lady beetles were attracted to the pheromone releasing plants and preyed on the bugs eating the plant. The stimulus of aphid predation is chemically transmitted through the plant to coordinate an ...
Puccinia horiana is a microcyclic, autoecious rust, meaning that the fungus has two known spore stages: teliospores and basidiospores, as well as no known alternate host. [6] Similar to other microcyclic rusts, two-celled teliospores produce unicellular basidiospores which are then dispersed via air currents.
Cephaleuros parasiticus is a plant pathogenic member of the chlorophyta, or green algae.It infects several commercially important crops including tea.Unlike the majority of pathogenic Cephaleuros species, it penetrates the epidermis of plants and is not constrained to subcuticular growth.
