Features: Rust fungi are common obligate parasitic fungi of higher plants and important pathogens of various economic crops. Accurate diagnosis of plant rust diseases relies on the accurate identification of the fungi. This book can serve as a reference for mycological researchers, plant protection and quarantine workers, as well as faculty and students in biology and plant protection departments of universities and colleges. This volume is a continuation of The 10th Volume of the Flora Fungorum Sinicae: Uredinales (Part 1), documenting 237 species of Uromyces that parasitize dicotyledonous plants in China. Each species includes a description of morphological characteristics, hosts, and distribution, accompanied by 233 line drawings of spores, as well as references and indexes of Chinese and scientific names for rust fungi and host plants. This is part of the author's long-term research achievements in systematic surveys and classification of rust fungi in China.
