Uromyces junci is a rust fungus that parasitizes rushes (Juncus species), causing orange-brown pustular lesions on stems and leaves of its host plants in wetland and waterside habitats. This obligate biotroph depends entirely on living host tissue to complete its life cycle. It is distributed across temperate regions of Europe and beyond, wherever suitable Juncus hosts occur in moist environments.

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.
