Uredo cynodontis-dactylis is a stand fungal art from the order of the rust fungi (Pucciniales). The fungus is an endoparasite of dog tooth grass . Symptoms of the infestation by the species are rust spots and pustules on the leaf surfaces of the host plants. She is endemic to China . Since only its secondary crop shape is knownso far, it is classified in the genus Uredo . Your teleomorph probably belongs to the genus Puccinia .
features
Macroscopic features
Uredo cynodontis-dactylis can only be recognized with the naked eye by means of the spore beds protruding on the surface of the host. They grow in nests that appear as yellowish to brown spots and pustules on the leaf surfaces.
Microscopic features
The mycelium of Uredo cynodontis-dactylis grows as with all Uredo TYPES intercellular and forms Saugfäden that grow into the storage tissue of the host. The spermogonia and aecia of the species are not known. The uredia of the fungus growing on both sides of the host leaves are chestnut brown, they have paraphyses . Their chestnut brown uredospores are 29–42 × 23–33 µm in size, spherical to ovate and spiky. The parts of the species are unknown.
distribution
The known distribution area of Uredo cynodontis-dactylis only includes China .
ecology
The host plant of Uredo cynodontis-dactylis is dog -tooth grass . The fungus feeds on the nutrients present in the storage tissue of the plants, its spore beds later break through the leaf surface and release spores. The species goes through a presumably macrocyclical development cycle with Spermogonia, Aecien, Uredien and Telien. Due to the lack of aecia and spermogonia, it is not possible to determine whether it changes host .
