Abstract
Infection of aspen leaves by the rust Melampsora pinitorqua causes ultrastructural changes in the chloroplasts. These are generally similar to the changes observed in chloroplasts of other plants infected with rusts or viruses, treated with various chemicals or during the process of leaf senescence. It appears that one of the mechanisms by which the rust may attack the leaf tissues of aspen is by exudation of enzymes involved in the degradation of starch and synthesis of glycogen.
