Synopsis
Since man began producing crops, diseases of cereal and conifers called rusts have been troublesome and there is reason to believe that rust fungi have existed on plants for thousands of years. The best known of the tree rusts is white pine blister rust caused by cronartium ribicola which has caused damage to five needled pines in Europe and America. Many other horticultural, agricultural, forest and ornamental plants, as well as wild plants, are subject to rust disease. This is an atlas containing 1000 scanning electron microscope plates of 164 species of rust fungi. Where they exist the aeciospores, urediniospores and teliospores of are illustrated, as are the aecia, uredinia and telia. The specimens are taken from the rust flora of Yorkshire, but include most British rusts.
