Rust fungus on a rose leaf, SEM C017 / 7131

Rust fungus on a rose leaf. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of rust fungus (Phragmidium sp.) spores emerging from a rose (Rosa sp.) leaf (brown). Spores are the reproductive cells of a fungus. Two types of spore are seen, the over-wintering teleutospores (yellow) and the summer uredospores (pink). Rust fungi are parasitic on both wild and cultivated plants, often causing severe disease. Magnification: x440 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of rust fungus on a delicate rose leaf. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image reveals the mesmerizing details of this microscopic organism. The brown rose leaf serves as both canvas and host to these parasitic fungi, known as Phragmidium sp. The colored SEM highlights two types of spores emerging from the leaf's surface: yellow teleutospores and pink uredospores. Spores are essential reproductive cells for fungi, allowing them to spread and colonize new hosts. However, their presence often leads to severe diseases in both wild and cultivated plants. At a magnification of x440 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty within nature's smallest creations. It offers an insight into the complex biology of rust fungi while emphasizing their impact on plant pathology. Microfield Scientific Ltd/Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment, showcasing their expertise in microbiology and mycology research. This image is not only visually stunning but also provides valuable scientific knowledge about plant diseases caused by fungal pathogens like Phragmidium sp. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply captivated by nature's wonders, this print is sure to spark curiosity and appreciation for our intricate natural world.
