Abstract:Deciphering the role of early molecular interactions between Eucalyptus spp. x Austropuccinia psidii and its pathogenesis Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, is a biotrophic pathogen, and therefore its growth and development depend on the host tissues. The uredospores of A. psidii infect Eucalyptus by engaging in close contact with the host surface and interacting with the leaf cuticle that provides important chemical and physical signals to trigger the infection process. Due to the inheren… Show more
