Phylogenetics and Phylogenomics of Rust Fungi

Advances in Genetics, 2017
Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are the most speciose and the most complex group of plant pathogens. Historically, rust taxonomy was largely influenced by host and phenotypic characters, which are potentially plastic. Molecular systematic studies suggest that the extant diversity of this group was largely shaped by host jumps and subsequent shifts.

Rust fungi on Panicum

Mycologia, 2017
Rusts are economically important diseases of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and other Paniceae grasses. Phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of the nuc rDNA 5.8S internal transcribed spacer 2 region (ITS2), partial 28S region, and intergenic spacer region (IGS) of nuc rDNA showed that species of rust fungi infecting switchgrass are closely related ...

Cryptic diversity and significant cophylogenetic signal detected by DNA barcoding the rust fungi (Pucciniaceae) of Cyperaceae–Juncaceae

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2021
Plants play important roles as habitat and food for a tremendous diversity of specialist animals and fungi. The disappearance of any plant species can lead to extinction cascades of its associated biota.

Carotenoid biosynthesis and the evolution of carotenogenesis genes in rust fungi.

Fungal Biology, 2021
Diseases caused by rust fungi pose a significant threat to global plant production. Although carotenoid pigments are produced in spores of nearly all rust species, the corresponding biosynthesis pathway(s) have not been investigated.

Evolution of virulence in rust fungi - multiple solutions to one problem.

Current opinion in plant biology, 2020
Rust fungi are major pathogens that negatively affect crops and ecosystems. Recent rust disease epidemics driven by the emergence of strains with novel virulence profiles demand a better understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms of these organisms ...

Rust fungi and global change

New Phytologist, 2013
SummaryRust fungi are important components of ecological communities and in ecosystem function. Their unique life strategies as biotrophic pathogens with complicated life cycles could make them vulnerable to global environmental change. While there are gaps in our knowledge, especially in natural plant–rust systems, this review of the exposure of rust ...
