Gene-for-Gene Interactions in Rust Fungi Gene-for-Gene Interactions in Rust Fungi The study of gene-for-gene interactions uncovers genetic components, evolutionary impacts, and ecological/economic implications between rust fungi and plants. Rust fungi utilize the gene-for-gene interaction to invade host plants. Conversely, host plants utilize the gene-for-gene interaction to prevent invasion of rust fungi. Gene-for-gene interactions between plants and rust fungi are helping us further understand the ecology and evolution of plant-microbe interactions, specifically pathogenicity. There are implications of gene-for-gene interactions for fitness in real world populations. Co-evolution due to gene-for-gene interactions can help us understand evolutionary advantages and disadvantages. Co-evolution can help understand how the host-pathogen interactions
Richard Rust three children, Dorinda, Rachel, and Richard. Rust had a multitude of hobbies, including readings about religion and mysticism, oil paintings, sailing, music, and water skiing. Married to his third wife, Rust died at the age of 56 in Los Angeles, of a heart attack. Richard Rust Richard Rust (July 13, 1938 – November 9, 1994) was an American actor of stage, television, and film born in Boston, probably best remembered for his role as a young lawyer in NBC's "Sam Benedict" series (1962-1963). Rust's mother died when he was five, and his father was an officer in the United States
