Characterization of In Planta—Induced Rust Genes Isolated from a Haustorium-Specific cDNA Library

Rust fungi are plant parasites that depend on living host tissue for growth. For invasion of leaves, dikaryotic urediospores differentiate germ tubes and infection structures that penetrate through stomata. Biotrophic growth occurs by intercellular mycelia that form haustoria within host cells. A cD...
