Resumen:
Nassella neesiana (Chilean needle grass) is a South American grassspecies that is a serious weed in Australia and New Zealand. Therust fungus Uromyces pencanus is a promising biocontrol agentthat could be used to control the weed in both countries.Extensive host range testing has been conducted to explore thespecificity of the rust. In this paper we discuss the differentdegrees of invasion by the rust of the tissues of target and nontargetspecies; the plant defences elicited by such invasion at thecellular level; and their relevance to the biological control ofChilean needle grass.
