Uredo dendrocalami is a stand fungal art from the order of the rust fungi (Pucciniales). The fungus is an endoparasite of the sweet grasses Dendrocalamus strictus and Dendrocalamus latiflorus . Symptoms of the infestation by the species are rust spots and pustules on the leaf surfaces of the host plants. Since only its secondary crop shape is knownso far, it is classified in the genus Uredo .
features
Macroscopic features
Uredo dendrocalami can only be recognized with the naked eye by 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 dendrocalami 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 the underside of the host leaves are small and light brown, they have paraphyses . Their colorless uredospores are 26–35 × 19–22 µm in size, oval to pear-shaped and spiky. The parts of the species are unknown.
distribution
The known distribution area of Uredo dendrocalami includes Sri Lanka and China .
ecology
The host plants of Uredo dendrocalami are Dendrocalamus strictus and Dendrocalamus latiflorus . 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 .
