Description
Rust fungus spores. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of spores from a rust fungus that infects rose plants. Rust fungi (order Uredinales) are parasites that attack plants. They are very specific to their host plant, and reproduce by the dispersal of spores that form red rust-like areas on the leaves and stems of diseased plants. They are of economic importance as they can reduce crop yields. Magnification unknown.
