Many of Australasia’s best-known and most highly valued native trees – from Australia’s eucalypts to New Zealand’s pōhutukawa – are in the family Myrtaceae. Many species in this family urgently need protection from myrtle rust, a disease caused by the globally dispersed pathogen Austropuccinia psidii.
Collaborative research efforts have improved our understanding of our myrtles, the pathogen, and plant/pathogen interactions. Management tools have been developed and deployed, and communities are rapidly mobilising to protect and conserve native plants.
Join the second Australasian Myrtle Rust Conference to share and learn about the latest research and management approaches. Be part of the conversation to celebrate our mighty myrtles and the progress made towards protecting them.
Session themes:
Community-led action
New technologies, solutions, and research insights
Species conservation
Early career initiatives and research
All talks will be livestreamed to an expansive virtual audience. Join the conference online for free!
