Verticillium lecanii has been found growing in pustu'les of the uredial stage of a number of rust fungi (GAMS 1971, SCHROEDER and HAssEBRAuK 1957, CASPER and MENDGEN 1979, SPENCER 1'980), and in some insects (HALL 1980). SCHROEDER and HASSEBRi\UK (1957) observed that this fungus is able to penetrate the urediospores of Puccinia striiformis. It remains to be shown, however, whether Verticillium ...

From the Publisher: Illustrated Genera of Rust Fungi Brazil presents up-to-date information about generaof rusts fungi known for Brazil. Included are 65 plates detailed black and white photos representing 62genera. This number represents approximately one-half all genera rust in world.Results based on many large scale surveys field collecting expeditions supplemented withherbarium records. The ...

Rust fungi are obligate parasites and cannot be routinely cultured to obtain sufficient biomass for DNA extractions. Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) was demonstrated in this study for whole genome amplification from single spores of the rust fungus, Puccinia striiformis. The genomic DNA coverage and fidelity of this method was evaluated by PCR amplification and sequencing of two genet...

A contribution is made to the rust fungus flora of Argentina: Puccinia baccharidis-boliviensis, P. cordyceps, P. pucarae, and Aecidium hypseocharidicola are described as new species. Cionothrix praelonga, Frommeëlla mexicana var. mexicana, Phakopsora compressa, Prospodium peruvianum, Puccinia amphiospora, P. chaetochloae, P. liabi, P. pappophori, P. sanguinolenta, P. subaquila, Ravenelia havane...

The role of extracellular fl-1,3-glucanases and chitinases was investigated in oat leaves after infection with different rust fungi . The oat leaves (Avena sativa L .) were inoculated with the compatible rust Puccinia coronata f. sp . avenae and the two nonpathogens Puccinia recondita f. sp . tritici and Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici . No alterations in enzyme activities were found in the co...

Uromyces fabae is a major pathogen of broad bean, Vicia faba. U. fabae has served as a model among rust fungi to elucidate the development of infection structures, expression and secretion of cell wall degrading enzymes and gene expression. Using U. fabae, enormous progress was made regarding nutrient uptake and metabolism and in the search for secreted proteins and effectors. Here, we present ...

Tuberculina species are mitosporic parasites of rust fungi. Phylogenetically they belong to the Urediniomycetidae, therefore being closely related to their rust fungal hosts. We reveal by means of molecular analyses, ultrastructural and morphological features, observations in the field, and infection experiments that species of the genus Tuberculina and the violet root rot (Helicobasidium/Rhizo...

Haustoria of biotrophic rust fungi are responsible for the uptake of nutrients from their hosts and for the production of secreted proteins, known as effectors, which modulate the host immune system. The identification of the transcriptome of haustoria and an understanding of the functions of expressed genes therefore hold essential keys for the elucidation of fungus-plant interactions and the ...
