#Rust on maize (#Zea mays) caused by #Puccinia sorghi with abundant urediniospores (28-32 × 20-26 µm) and a few rare teliospores — here hyperparasitized by Sphaerellopsis sp. ; sampling by Laura Nunes 🙏 from @ideevl.bsky.social field experiments (Gif-sur-Yvette, FR).

Can I also join?

But did you know there are ~22 other rust genera?...

Model of Starship mediated transfer of the ToxA gene, that is present on a separate mobile element named ToxhAT. Blue: ToxhAT; Green: Starship Horizon; Yellow: Starship Sanctuary.

Curious about how novel #plant #pathogens emerge? Check out our microreview on whether #fungal disease outbreaks are instigated by Starship #transposons. We present three examples that we think are evidence of outbreaks caused by Starship HGT. bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
