  Rust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rust is the substance formed when iron compounds corrode in the presence of water and oxygen.
Rusting is a common term for corrosion, and usually corrosion of steel.
The process of rusting can be summarized as three basic stages: The formation of iron(II) ions from the metal; the formation of hydroxide ions; and their reaction together, with the addition of oxygen, to create rust.

 Rust Diseases of Several Legumes and Corn in Florida   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Rust fungi are also characterized by having complex life cycles, especially in temperate regions of the world (Plate 1).
Two of the rust fungus stages, the spermatial and aecial, are associated with the portion of the fungus life cycle in which mating types merge and reassociate genetic material.
Rust symptoms begin as whitish, minute, slightly raised pustules.Later, these pustules become the distinct, circular, reddish-brown spots on the under side of leaves that readily identify the disease (Plate 2).

 Hollyhock Rust - Puccinia malvacearum - Colorado State University Cooperative Extension - Tri River Area
Rusts are known to be especially destructive on grain crops such as wheat, oats and barley with shortages causing famines and ruining the economies of entire countries.
Sanitation is critical in controlling Hollyhock rust as the fungus overwinters in pustules in basal leaves and in old stems.
Rusted leaves should be removed as soon as they appear during the growing season and flower stalks should be removed when flowering is over.

 Orange Rust of Brambles, HYG-3010-94
Orange rust is the most important of several rust diseases that attack brambles.
Unlike all other fungi that infect brambles, the orange rust fungus grows "systemically" throughout the roots, crown and shoots of an infected plant, and is perennial inside the below ground plant parts.
Orange rust is caused by two fungi that are almost identical, except for a few differences in their life cycles.

 Rust (fungus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many of the rusts have two or more hosts (heteroecious) and up to five spore stages.
Among them are Gymnosporangium, the juniper-apple and juniper-hawthorn rusts.
The group received its common name from the fact that some species have a reddish spore stage, which resembles the corrosion process known as rust.

 G4442 Soybean Rust, MU Extension
The development of soybean rust is favored by prolonged periods of leaf wetness (6–12 hours) and temperatures of 46 to 82 degrees F. Extended periods of cool, wet weather during the growing season would favor soybean rust epidemics.
Although the soybean rust fungus may not be able to overwinter in central or northern soybean-production areas of the United States, it may be able to survive the winter months on hosts such as kudzu in the southern United States.
This scenario of reintroduction of rust pathogens from the southern United States to the central and northern regions of the country each growing season is well documented in wheat for stem rust, leaf rust and stripe rust and in corn for common rust and southern rust.

 Fungus puts soybeans at risk | ajc.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Soybean rust, a fungus that could have a devastating impact on the nation's second-largest agricultural crop, has gained its first foothold in the United States — apparently blown into fields in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana by this year's hurricanes.
Soybean rust, shown here in a moderately advanced stage, is a pathogen carried by the wind that scientists say may have come to the United States during hurricanes this fall.
Initial rust infestations are hard to detect because the tan and reddish-brown lesions appear first on the undersides of leaves.

 Ag Answers: Airborne soybean fungus could take flight to U.S.
Soybean rust is especially worrisome to plant researchers because the disease is caused by an airborne pathogen that can move hundreds of miles by wind, can be more devastating than soybean diseases common to the U.S. and is difficult to control, Shaner said.
If soybean rust becomes established it will infect fields over vast areas and could have a much greater impact, because so many more fields might be affected in a given year.
Rust spores are thick-walled and pigmented, which protects them from natural controls, such as ultraviolet light.

 Black Stem Rust Biology and Threat to Wheat Growers
The stem rust fungus also survives during winters on fall-planted wheat in the southern U.S. near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico where the winters are very mild.
The average of 2-3 states per year with significant wheat stem rust epidemics in the barberry eradication area from 1928-1967 represents approximately the frequency of years in each decade in which stem rust is able to spread in significant amounts from the Gulf Coast to the north central U.S. in the absence of barberry.
As an example of what could happen if barberry returned and the wheat stem rust fungus were to change from the current asexual population back to a sexual population, we can consider the current situation with a related rust, oat crown rust.

 Weather Conditions That Determine Infection By The Stem Rust Fungus In Grasses
Stem rust is not equally severe in all years, and fewer fungicide applications undoubtedly are warranted in some years.
For rust fungi and many others, temperature and moisture are typically the weather factors most closely correlated with infection likelihood.
For stem rust, infection occurs during the night and early morning, so the weather between sunset and mid-morning of the following day is the key influence on daily infection.

 Wheat Leaf Rust
The leaf rust spores are carried by wind currents, and the disease advances progressively northward across the Great Plains as the wheat crops develop (Figure 2).
However, in North Dakota, this long duration of severe rust is unlikely, because leaf rust generally does not become severe until the crop reaches the boot stage (flag leaf fully developed) or later.
Second, the natural population of the leaf rust fungus is genetically diverse and dynamic.

 A Daylily Rust FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Daylily rust is a fungus with a complex life cycle.
When enough growth has been achieved inside the leaf, and environmental conditions are right, the rust fungus produces pustules that burst through the surface of the leaf to release a new generation of cloned spores.
Like most diseases, rust contributes to the general debilitation of the plant; both directly by consuming plant nutrients that could be used for plant growth and indirectly by damaging the plant causing less photosynthesis and increased water loss.

 Daylilies Under Attack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is a type of rust fungus—a group so named because of the rusty-colored spots, ranging from yellow to orange to dark-brown to fl, that form on infected plants.
Because rust fungi can usually be identified by the shape of their spores, SBML researchers tried to identify the American fungus by comparing samples taken from U.S. and Costa Rican daylilies with samples taken from daylilies grown across the Pacific.
The differences seen between Asian and American rust specimens may be due to the fungus' apparent lack of sexual recombination in the United States and Costa Rica.
