| Disease | Rust fungus on Cardiospermum and Serjania species (lesser balloon vine rust) |
| Taxonomic Rank | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Order | Pucciniales | Family | Pucciniaceae |
| Distribution | Widely distributed in the Neotropics, including Central and South America and the Caribbean (Arthur 1918; Hennen et al. 2005; Hernández et al. 2005). |
|---|---|
| Characteristics | Microcyclic rust fungus with only telial stage known. Telia minute, forming groups on circular yellowish spots on abaxial leaf surface, concentrically arranged; subepidermal, erumpent, without peridium or paraphyses. Teliospores one- or two-celled, both produced from same sporogenous cells; one-celled spores 21–28 × 16–20 µm, two-celled spores 25–38 × 20–27 µm; wall 2.5–3 µm thick, slightly thickened at apex; pedicel persistent, up to 70 µm long. |
| Notes | Puccinia arechavaletae is a microcyclic rust infecting species of Cardiospermum, Serjania, and related Sapindaceae hosts. Known as the pathogen of the ornamental lesser balloon vine (Cardiospermum halicacabum), it may also serve as a potential biological control agent for invasive populations in tropical and subtropical regions. |
| Economic importance | Pathogen of the ornamental and invasive lesser balloon vine (Cardiospermum halicacabum); potential biocontrol candidate in tropical regions. Not of major agricultural concern. |
