About Melampsora larici-populina

Melampsora larici-populina is one of the causal agents of poplar rust, the most important disease of poplars. It has reduced considerably the use of this tree for environmental and wood production purposes. The first symptoms appear on susceptible poplars showing small yellow spots on the upper leaf surface and a pale yellow to orange rust in the lower leaf surface (urediniospores that will reinfect other poplars).
