“…Rust mycelia (except haustoria and the first cell infected from basidiospores) are generally intercellular, but there are several reports of spread in living cells and in dead tracheary elements. Tranzschelia in Hepatica roots spreads in the vessels (Rice, 1945). Harshberger (1902) reported growth of Gymnosporangium spp.…”

Limb rust is a killing disease of hard pines caused by Peridermium spp. Study of tissue sections shows that growth of limb rust fungi differs from growth of other plant rusts: (1) longitudinal spread is mainly by hyphal growth within host tracheids; (2) hyphae grow radially in mature xylem, deep in host sapwood; (3) in larger stems mycelia avoid (rather than concentrate in) bark and outer xylem rings; and (4) mycelia become much larger than any previously described for rust fungi. Antibiotics being tested as therapeutants are unlikely to be effective against such deep‐seated mycelia.
