Plant pathology

An obligate fungal disease that reddens living tissue

In plant pathology a rust is a disease caused by fungi of the order Pucciniales (Basidiomycota), named for the orange-to-rust-brown pustules of spores they raise on leaves and stems. Rust fungi are obligate biotrophs: they feed only on living host tissue through haustoria, and many run a complex life cycle of up to five spore stages across two unrelated host plants. Staples's Research on the rust fungi during the twentieth century and Agrios's Plant pathology set out their biology and the crop losses they cause in cereals, coffee, and timber. The referent is a living host–parasite disease, nothing to do with corroded iron or a programming language beyond the shared colour word.[1][2]
