Uromyces lineolatus is a rust fungus in the family Pucciniaceae, a heteroecious or autoecious obligate biotrophic pathogen that infects grasses and sedges in wetland habitats. It forms characteristic reddish-brown pustules (uredinia) on host leaf surfaces, containing urediniospores for dispersal. Rust fungi like this species are among the most economically and ecologically significant plant pathogens worldwide.
