Fwd: A plant disease question

[Adam Fikso]

I just ran across an article that indicated that infection with this rust is
systemic and causes plants to become female, and yield female vegetative
offspring.  If anyone is interested it is at:

I would think it  might be partly controllable with acetylsalicylic acid.
