Stem rust, also known as cereal rust, black rust, [1] [2] red rust or red dust, [3] is caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis, which causes significant disease in cereal crops. Crop species that are affected by the disease include bread wheat , durum wheat , barley and triticale . [ 1 ]
Ug99 is a lineage of wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici), which is present in wheat fields in several countries in Africa and the Middle East and is predicted to spread rapidly through these regions and possibly further afield, potentially causing a wheat production disaster that would affect food security worldwide.

Rust fungi grow intracellularly, and make spore-producing fruiting bodies within or, more often, on the surfaces of affected plant parts. [3] Some rust species form perennial systemic infections that may cause plant deformities such as growth retardation, witch's broom, stem canker, galls, or hypertrophy of affected plant parts.
Cronartium ribicola (White pine blister rust): the primary host are white pines, and currants the secondary. Hemileia vastatrix (Coffee rust): the primary host is coffee plant, and the alternate host is unknown. Puccinia graminis (Stem rust): the primary hosts include Kentucky bluegrass, barley, and wheat; barberry is the alternate host.
Wheat rusts include three types of Pucciniae: . P. triticina, wheat leaf rust, leaf rust, wheat brown rust, or brown rust; P. graminis, stem rust, wheat stem rust, barley stem rust, or black rust
Yellow rust distribution in winter triticale. Wheat yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici), also known as wheat stripe rust, is one of the three major wheat rust diseases, along with stem rust of wheat (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) and leaf rust (Puccinia triticina f.sp. tritici).
