Rusts are among the most important fungal diseases of wheat worldwide. Leaf rust, also known as brown rust, is caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina. The disease is most damaging when the upper leaves of infected plants become severely rusted before flowering. Heavy rusting causes early loss of these leaves, which reduces the grain filling period and results in smaller kernel size. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
