Uromyces pisi-sativi is a fungal species and plant pathogen. It was originally found on Pea ( Pisum sativum ) but it is found on a wide range of host plants. [3]
It causes small orange dots on the lower side of leaves on Euphorbia cyparissias . It lives on Pisum and on Lathyrus and on other plants from the family Fabaceae. The list of hosts also includes; Cytisus scoparius , Chamaecytisus palmensis and Lupinus polyphyllus . [4]
It has been recorded as being found almost worldwide; from Africa (within the Canary Islands, Ethiopia, Libya and Morocco); from Asia (within China, India, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey); from Europe (within Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Corsica, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sicily, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.S.S.R. and Yugoslavia); from South America (Argentina and Chile) (CMI Map 404 and Herb. IMI). [5] Also Australia and New Zealand. [3]
An endosymbiont or endobiont is any organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism most often, though not always, in a mutualistic relationship. (The term endosymbiosis is from the Greek: ἔνδον endon "within", σύν syn "together" and βίωσις biosis "living".) Examples are nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which live in the root nodules of legumes, single-cell algae inside reef-building corals and bacterial endosymbionts that provide essential nutrients to insects.
Rusts are fungal plant pathogens of the order Pucciniales causing plant fungal diseases.
A legume is a plant in the family Fabaceae, or the fruit or seed of such a plant. When used as a dry grain, the seed is also called a pulse. Legumes are grown agriculturally, primarily for human consumption, for livestock forage and silage, and as soil-enhancing green manure. Well-known legumes include beans, soybeans, chickpeas, peanuts, lentils, lupins, grass peas, mesquite, carob, tamarind, alfalfa, and clover. Legumes produce a botanically unique type of fruit – a simple dry fruit that develops from a simple carpel and usually dehisces on two sides.
Alternaria is a genus of Deuteromycetes fungi. All species are known as major plant pathogens. They are also common allergens in humans, growing indoors and causing hay fever or hypersensitivity reactions that sometimes lead to asthma. They are present in the human mycobiome and readily cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients.
Uromyces striatus is a fungal species and plant pathogen causing rust in Medicago species.
Didymella pinodes is a hemibiotrophic fungal plant pathogen and the causal agent of ascochyta blight on pea plants. It is infective on several species such as Lathyrus sativus, Lupinus albus, Medicago spp., Trifolium spp., Vicia sativa, and Vicia articulata, and is thus defined as broadrange pathogen.
Didymella rabiei, commonly called chickpea ascochyta blight fungus, is a fungal plant pathogen of chickpea. Didymella rabiei is the teleomorph of Ascochyta rabiei, which is the anamorph, but both names are the same species.
Uromyces apiosporus is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting Primula. Including Primula minimaL. in New Zealand.
Uromyces ciceris-arietini is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting chickpea.
Uromyces dianthi is a fungus species and plant pathogen infecting carnations and Euphorbia.
Uromyces euphorbiae is a fungal species and a plant pathogen infecting poinsettias.
Ascochyta pisi is a fungal plant pathogen that causes ascochyta blight on pea, causing lesions of stems, leaves, and pods. These same symptoms can also be caused by Ascochyta pinodes, and the two fungi are not easily distinguishable.
Colletotrichum truncatum is a fungal species and plant pathogen on soybeans.
Uromyces betae is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting beet.
Uromyces musae is a fungal species and plant pathogen infecting bananas.
Uromyces is a genus of rust fungi in the family Pucciniaceae. The genus was described by Franz Unger in his 1833 work Die Exantheme der Pflanzen. They have a worldwide distribution but large occurrences happen in North America and Europe.
Acyrthosiphon pisum, commonly known as the pea aphid, is a sap-sucking insect in the family Aphididae. It feeds on several species of legumes worldwide, including forage crops, such as pea, clover, alfalfa, and broad bean, and ranks among the aphid species of major agronomical importance. The pea aphid is a model organism for biological study whose genome has been sequenced and annotated.
Ascochyta blights occur throughout the world and can be of significant economic importance. Three fungi contribute to the ascochyta blight disease complex of pea. Ascochyta pinodes causes Mycosphaerella blight. Ascochyta pinodella causes Ascochyta foot rot, and Ascochyta pisi causes Ascochyta blight and pod spot. Of the three fungi, Ascochyta pinodes is of the most importance. These diseases are conducive under wet and humid conditions and can cause a yield loss of up to fifty percent if left uncontrolled. The best method to control ascochyta blights of pea is to reduce the amount of primary inoculum through sanitation, crop-rotation, and altering the sowing date. Other methods—chemical control, biological control, and development of resistant varieties—may also be used to effectively control ascochyta diseases.
Pisatin (3-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4′,5′-methylenedioxy-chromanocoumarane) is the major phytoalexin made by the pea plant Pisum sativum. It was the first phytoalexin to be purified and chemically identified. The molecular formula is C17H14O6.
