“…Evaluation of Prospodium tuberculatum "(Speg.) Arthur" for biological control of Lantana camara L. revealed differential susceptibility among several forms of the target, leading Thomas et al (2006) to conclude that the genetic diversity within the L. camara complex to be a limiting factor for management by a classical biological control agent. Russian thistle is also now known to be a complex of Salsola species (Hrusa and Gaskin 2008).…”

Evaluation ofPuccinia crupinae, the causal agent of a rust disease on common crupina (Crupina vulgaris), for biological control is described. Susceptibility of accessions of common crupina that represent both varieties of the target from the five populations in the United States indicate that the disease has potential to control common crupina, but differences were noted between accessions on the basis of pustule count, yield (i.e., number and weight of achenes per plant), and shoot dry weight data after multiple inoculations. One accession from Modoc, CA, was not affected in greenhouse tests and would likely not be affected in the field if a permit to releaseP. crupinaewere granted. None of the nontarget species of 26 taxa from the tribes Cardueae and Cichoriae were symptomatic, so the pathogen is likely safe to use in North America.

“…Scores are assigned as follows: 0=no macroscopically visible symptoms; 0% leaf area with pustules; 1=low sporulation with sparse urediniospore production; > 25% leaf area with pustules; 2=moderate sporulation and urediniospore production; 50-75% leaf area with pustules, 3=abundant sporulation with copious urediniospore production leading to defoliation; >75% leaf area with pustules. These standardised methods also previously demonstrated no treatment effect on all uninoculated negative control plants ( Thomas et al 2006;Ellison et al 2006); this treatment was therefore not repeated when assessing these New Zealand plants.…”

“…After 3 weeks, plants were considered susceptible if they had developed pustules (positive) or not susceptible if no symptoms had appeared (negative). This assessment was based on the standardised methods of assessment of the symptoms described previously Thomas et al 2006). Infection is determined by scoring the presence of mature pustules, generally evident by day 21, and mainly visible on the lower leaf surface (Ellison et al 2006).…”

“…data). Prospodium tuberculatum primarily infects the leaves of lantana causing rapid senescence, then progressing to infect stems and petioles leading to significant dieback of branches (Thomas et al 2006). Recent field observations in Australia, have found that plants with high levels of rust infection are beginning to show signs of defoliation (M.D.…”

Lantana camara is an environmental weed in the northern North Island of New Zealand It is an increasingly observed problem in forest margins coastal scrublands dunes plantations and island habitats and its rapid uncontrolled growth can create dense impenetrable thickets suppressing vegetation and bush regeneration Biological control options are being considered for its management A strain of the Brazilian rust Prospodium tuberculatum was released against lantana in Australia in 2001 This rust was screened against invasive forms of the weed that occur in New Zealand and was found to be pathogenic under glasshouse conditions A survey found no evidence that the rust occurs in New Zealand It is concluded that P tuberculatum is potentially a suitable agent for the biocontrol of lantana in New Zealand and further research should be carried out prior to importation of the organism

Interactive identification keys for Australian smut fungi (Ustilaginomycotina and Pucciniomycotina, Microbotryales) and rust fungi (Pucciniomycotina, Pucciniales) are available online at http://collections.daff.qld.gov.au. The keys were built using Lucid software, and facilitate the identification of all known Australian smut fungi (317 species in 37 genera) and 100 rust fungi (from approximately 360 species in 37 genera). The smut and rust keys are illustrated with over 1,600 and 570 images respectively. The keys are designed to assist a wide range of end-users including mycologists, plant health diagnosticians, biosecurity scientists, plant pathologists, and university students. The keys are dynamic and will be regularly updated to include taxonomic changes and incorporate new detections, taxa, distributions and images. Researchers working with Australian smut and rust fungi are encouraged to participate in the on-going development and improvement of these keys.
