Cedar-Apple Rust, Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae
I. Introduction: Cedar-apple rust can infect leaves and fruit of most cultivars in the mid-Atlantic region.
Each pollen sac, or microsporangium, of the anther contains numberous microsporocytes, each of which undergoes meiosis to form four haploid microspores. Every microspore develops into an immature male gametophyte, also called a pollen grain.
The opening of an anther, fruit or sporangium at maturity to release its contents (pollen, seeds or spores).
