Meadowsweet rust gall Meadowsweet rust gall Triphragmium ulmariae is a species of fungus in the Sphaerophragmiaceae family. It causes meadowsweet rust gall, which develops as a chemically induced swelling, arising from the lower surface of the meadowsweet leaves. This common gall is caused by the foliar 'rust' fungus "Triphragmium ulmariae" (DC.) Link, 1825 . The fungus attacks the petioles and / or midribs of the perennial meadowsweet ("Filipendula ulmaria") plant, a member of the family Rosaceae, causing swelling and distortion. Sori develop with bright orange spores. The rust's spores reach the meadowsweet via air movements and are spread from the galls that develop
Soybean rust kidney beans, peas, leguminous forage crops such as trefoil and sweet clover and weeds such as kudzu. At the early stage of Asian Soybean Rust, it causes yellow mosaic discoloration on the upper surfaces of older foliage. At this stage, it is usually hard to identify since the symptoms are relatively small and poorly defined. Later as the disease continues to progress, the leaves will turn yellow and there will be lesions mostly on the undersides of the leaves and sometimes on petioles, stems or pods and premature defoliation can also be observed. Asian Soybean Rust produces two types of
