Abstract

Rusts, being an important group of pathogenic fungi, are responsible for substantial economic losses and they are known to pass through five different spore stages in their life cycle. Diversity and documentation of rusts in India have been attempted in the pre-Butler’s, Butler’s, and post-Butler’s era. However, there has been a drastic decline in rust research in India in the recent past owing to possibly a lack of interest of few research groups. Historically, Butler laid the foundation for the study of rusts in India. The post-Butler’s era was ruled by several Indian scientists (Mehta, Prasada, Thirumalachar, Mundkur, Ramakrishna, Pavgi, Ramachar, Bagyanarayana, and others) through significant contribution towards the rust biodiversity. Several new rust genera and species new to science were discovered in this phase. However, with the advent of recent molecular tools and techniques, many countries have involved meticulously to document rich diversity of rusts and maintained their own catalogues for future pathological studies. From the Indian perspective, there is enormous scope for enhancing the knowledge on biodiversity of rusts on plant systems based on recent molecular tools and sequencing platforms. This review attempts to provide an overall picture of past and present scenario on rust research in India with future economic concern of these pathogens.
