Sexual reproduction is the null hypothesis for life cycles of rust fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Sexual reproduction, mutation, and reassortment of nuclei increase genotypic diversity in rust fungi. Sexual reproduction is inherent to rust fungi, coupled with their coevolved plant hosts in native pathosystems.

Effector proteins of rust fungi [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Rust fungi include many species that are devastating crop pathogens. To develop resistant plants, a better understanding of rust virulence factors, or effector proteins, is needed.

Exogenous double-stranded RNA inhibits the infection physiology of rust fungi to reduce symptoms in planta [PDF]
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2023 Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are a diverse group of plant pathogens in natural and agricultural systems. They pose ongoing threats to the diversity of native flora and cause annual crop yield losses.

A decade after the first Pucciniales genomes: A bibliometric snapshot of (post) genomics studies in three model rust fungi [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Pucciniales (rust fungi) are one of the largest fungal order of plant pathogens. They collectively infect key crops such as wheat and soybean, and threaten global food security.

Convergence Analysis of Rust Fungi and Anther Smuts Reveals Their Common Molecular Adaptation to a Phytoparasitic Lifestyle [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Convergent evolution between distantly related taxa often mirrors adaptation to similar environments. Rust fungi and anther smuts, which belong to different classes in Pucciniomycotina, have independently evolved a phytoparasitic lifestyle, representing ...

Amino acid uptake in rust fungi [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The plant pathogenic rust fungi colonize leaf tissue and feed off their host plants without killing them. Certain economically important species of different genera such as Melampsora, Phakopsora, Puccinia or Uromyces are extensively studied for ...
