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.…
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), a member of the Myrtaceae family, is the most widely planted species for the production of wood, pulp, and related products. Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, poses a constant threat to eucalyptus production and to the biodiversity of native forests, ranking among the ten most feared fungi in the world. While in Brazil, A. psidii populat…
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) is native to Oceania, but Brazil is one of the world's largest producers, with a productive area of 7.6 million hectares dedicated to the production of wood derivatives. Extensive cultivation outside its center of origin promotes the adaptation of fungal pathogens, notably Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, the main pathogen of the crop an…

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…
