  • Diversity of gall-forming rusts (Uromycladium, Pucciniales) on Acacia in Australia 
    Doungsa-ard, C.; McTaggart, Alistair R.; Geering, A.D.W.; Shivas, R.G. (Naturalis Biodiversity Center, 2018-05-16)
    Uromycladium tepperianum has been reported on over 100 species of Acacia, as well as on the closely related plant genera, Falcataria, Racosperma and Paraserianthes. Previous studies have indicated that U. tepperianum may ...
  • A dynamic, web-based resource to identify rust fungi (Pucciniales) in southern Africa 
    McTaggart, Alistair R.; Beasley, Dean R.; Wingfield, Michael J.; Wood, Alan R.; Pretorius, Zakkie A.; Drenth, Andre; Shivas, Roger G.; Roux, Jolanda (Pensoft Publishers, 2017-09-15)
    Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are some of the most important plant pathogens that cause diseases of agricultural and tree crops. There are approximately 8,000 described species worldwide. The rust fungi of South Africa were ...
  • Host jumps shaped the diversity of extant rust fungi (Pucciniales) 
    McTaggart, Alistair R.; Shivas, R.G.; Van der Nest, Magrieta Aletta; Roux, Jolanda; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Wingfield, Michael J. (Wiley, 2016-02)
    The aim of this study was to determine the evolutionary time line for rust fungi and date key speciation events using a molecular clock. Evidence is provided that supports a contemporary view for a recent origin of rust ...
