  • Title: Occurrence of Puccinia isiacae on Phragmites australis in Saudi Arabia and its possibility as a biological control agent.
    Author: Baka ZA.
    Journal: Microbiol Res; 2004; 159(3):175-9. PubMed ID: 15462516.
    Abstract:
    During the summer of 2002, symptoms of rust disease were observed for the first time on Phragmites australis in Saudi Arabia. Light brown lesions of regular shape indicating uredinia of Puccinia isiacae appeared on the leaves. The morphology and characteristics of the fungus were described in detail with both light and scanning electron microscopy. The possibility of using this fungus as a biological control agent was also discussed.
