Indeed, ancient chronicles of famines, plagues, and epidemics show the some of the more serious plant diseases, auch as rusts, smuts, and mildews, were recognized soon after the emergence of organized agriculture. Theophrastus (~371 to 287 BC) described disease symptoms on a number of plants used for food and the Romans paid tribute to appease the rust god Robigo. More recently, plant disease outbreaks have resulted in catastrophic crop failures that have triggered famines and caused major social change.  aMicrobiologia1 aTAYLOR, C.
