The Myrtaceae plant family includes around 5,500 species, among them eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), which stands out due to its economic importance for forestry. With 75% of global production, Brazil is the world's largest producer of eucalyptus. The spread of eucalyptus outside its natural habitat has led to the adaptation of several fungal species, including Austropuccinia psidii, the ca…
The eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) belongs to the Myrtaceae family and is the most widely planted species for wood, pulp and derivative production. Over the past 50 years, Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, has posed a constant threat to eucalyptus production and the biodiversity of native forests, ranking among the top ten most feared fungi globally. While in Brazil A.…

The phyllosphere of plants is an environment colonized by microbial communities, whose composition can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and biotic interactions. Eucalyptus is a tree of great ecological and economic importance, but it is subject to threats that can compromise its cultivation. Among these threats, the Myrtaceae rust, a fungal disease of major phyt…
The guava tree (Psidium guajava L.) is a fruit species of great economic importance, widely cultivated in Brazil. In recent years, Brazilian producers have reported the occurrence of pink spot, a fungal disease recently diagnosed in the country, caused by Cercospora spp., which compromises the quality and marketing of the fruits. The disease manifests through pink lesions on the surface o…

Soybean (Glycine max) is widely used in human and animal food and is considered the most produced oilseed in the world. Soybean production can be affected by anthracnose, a fungal disease of complex etiology, caused by several species of Colletotrichum, being species belonging to the C. truncatum and C. orchidearum species complexes the most representative and distributed around the world…
Since the beggining of time, rust fungi have been among the pathogens responsible for some of the most destructive diseases in cultivated and non-cultivated plants worldwide. Among these diseases is Myrtle Rust, caused by Austropuccinia psidii, that is becoming a growing threat to this plant family. Brazil is the center of origin of A. psidii, and currently Myrtle Rust is widespread, asso…
Plant diseases are responsible significant damage and losses in the fields, which affects the global economy and puts food security at risk. Anthracnose is ranked as one of the most destructive fungal diseases, caused by the genus Colletotrichum. Soybean production is threatened by this fungus, as it can lead to total losses under favourable conditions. Soybeans are among the five major c…
Myrtle rust, caused by Austropuccinia psidii, is responsible for significant economic, environmental, and social impacts. A. psidii is an obligate biotroph that has its asexual dikaryotic stage associated with epidemic outbreaks around the world. Brazil is the center of origin of A. psidii, and currently, myrtle rust has a wide host range, associated with more than 480 species in the Myrt…
