Mustard flower rust is a rust fungus typically found on mustard flowers, impacting plants by forming pustules on leaves and stems. These pustules release spores that spread to other plants. Interestingly, mustard flower rust also induces its host plant to produce pseudoflowers, which attract insects, facilitating spore dispersal.
