AI-generated description

Puccinia dioicae is a species of rust fungus that infects plants in the genus Dioscorea, particularly wild yams. In East and Central Texas, it has been found to commonly infect Dioscorea villosa, causing yellow to orange spores to form on the underside of leaves. The fungus is typically observed from May to October, with peak abundance in July and August. It is widely distributed throughout the region, including in counties such as Brazos, Burleson, and Robertson.
