Description
Rust fungi are a fascinating group known for causing rust diseases in plants. They often create reddish or orange spots on leaves and stems, resembling rust. Interestingly, rust fungi have complex life cycles that can require two different host plants to complete. These fungi play a vital role in agriculture by infecting crops such as wheat and barley, prompting ongoing research to manage their spread and impact.
