causing circular yellow spots, that appear on the leaves during summer and develop into orange cup-shaped fruiting bodies. Not possible to spray large trees but young plants may be treated with a protectant fungicide such as wettable sulphur. 5. Propagation from cuttings is possible because every cell of a plant containers the genetic information to create an entire plant.

Rust spores can travel very long distances and may infect susceptible plants many kilometres from the initial site of infection. The infection produces a different type of spore that land on the needles and growing branches of the Pinus species and eventually forming cankers. They have oil glands that are aromatic when crushed. ^1[#w0s3+dV \+#;0*8TtPm9999=z9rc/^.

Scales are sapsuckers and also cause a fungus, known as 'sooty mould' which grows on the sugary excretions of the scales. Vermiculite and perlite are also used as a well-drained rooting media but has the same disadvantage as sand having no nutrients. It has a large representation in the Australian landscape. 1. A new plant may be formed from a single cell in an aseptic culture system, (cloning). The plants in this family are predominantlyfound in the. This leads to a loss of vigour in the plant and infected plants transmit the fungus. Generally this fungal problem involves many species causing a range of symptoms, but generally produces pustules that release reddish - brown spores. The species, in some circumstances - such as when grown on rocky, terraced terrain - can grow buttress roots, but seldom does in flat, sandy areas. The source of the fungus is from other infected plants or fallen leaves and is dispersed by wind. It certain regions plants infected with this rust must be removed and destroyed to avoid infecting neighbouring agriculture crops. This results in faster root development and less subject to diseases by fungi and bacteria. Under ideal conditions it self-sows and can become weedy. When the tail is erect it is known as the "white flag". These species have dense canopies and are frequently planted as hedges.

Dianthus species are infected by the rust (Uromyces dianthi) which forms powdery brown spots that appear on both sides of the leaves. It is important to propagate vegetatively as this form of cloning retains the unique characteristics of the cultivars or where particular aspects of a plant may be lost if propagated by seed. There are two species of the deer in North America, the Whitetail (, ) with several regional variations such as the Pacific coastal Blacktail (. ) Amelanchler species and Calocedrus decurrens are infected by several rust species including (Gymnosporangium libocedri). Berberis species may be infected by the Rust (Puccinia graminis) that forms orange spotting on the leaves. It has a low water requirement once established.

(Agonis flexuosa cv 'Afterdark') do not display obvious symptoms of early infection. Myrtle rust (Puccinia psidii) is a fungal disease which infects plants in the Myrtaceae family. These cuttings are an advantage where the plant uses the axillary bud at the base of the petiole for new shoot growth and maximises available propagation material, as each node will produce a new plant. The flowers are drooping, 1-2 cm diameter with four or five white or pale pink petals and numerous short stemens; the fruit is a small red or purple berry 1 cm in diameter. The short term impact of myrtle rust on mature trees is minimal. causing yellowish brown pustules to appear on both sides of the leaf.
