Uredo ierensis is a stand fungal art from the order of the rust fungi (Pucciniales). The fungus is an endoparasite of the legume Lonchicarpus salvadorensis . Symptoms of the infestation by the species are rust spots and pustules on the leaf surfaces of the host plants. It is common in South America , the Caribbean and Central America . Since only its secondary crop shape is knownso far, it is classified in the genus Uredo .

features

Macroscopic features

Uredo ierensis 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 ierensis 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 covered and cinnamon brown. Their cinnamon-brown uredospores are 22–27 × 18–22 µm in size, ovate to broadly ellipsoidal and spiky. The parts of the species are unknown.

distribution

The known distribution area of Uredo ierensis extends from South America to Mexico and the Caribbean .

ecology

The host plant of Uredo ierensis is Lonchicarpus salvadorensis . 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 .
