ABSTRACT

This study had as objectives: to survey the fungi that cause rust (Pucciniales) in RMB, to identify species of rust parasitizing plants of economic interest, and to present findings of new records to South America, Brazil, Amazon and Pará, thus broadening the knowledge of the richness of the group and the relationships with their host plants. Collections were made in RMB in 2011-2013 period, and the MG (MPEG) and IAN (EMBRAPA) herbaria were revised. The RMB presented 76 species and 20 genera of Pucciniales. Fourteen species are new records: South America (one), Brazil (one), Amazon (five), State of Pará (one), and RMB (six). Twenty species of rust parasitize plants of economic interest. The RMB has the highest Pucciniales richness in the Amazon.
