Systematics 

of Pucciniomycotina

Pucciniomycotina 

• Rusts and their allies 

• ~8,000 species, i.e., 1/3 rd of described Basidiomycota 

• Mostly parasitic: phytopathogens (e.g., Pucciniales), entomoparasites entomoparasites 

(e.g., 

Septobasidium), Septobasidium), 

mycoparasites (e.g., Tuberculina) 

Tuberculina 

• Most higher-level higher level groups not formally recognized or named until 2006

Systematics 

of Pucciniales

Pucciniales Clem. & Shear (1931) = 

rust fungi (= Uredinales) 

All obligate pathogens (largest natural group of 

phytopathogens) 

Most Most complex life cycles in Eumycota (in Eukaryotes?) 

Very Very plastic (morphologically; genomically—haploid 

genomically haploid 

estimates in Pucciniaceae alone from 64-418 64 418 Mbp) 

Life Life cycle data incomplete or missing for most

Definitions for the purposes 

of this talk 

A host jump occurs when: 

a rust colonizes a host in a new family 

A host shift occurs when: 

A rust colonizes a new host within the 

same family, whether or not the two 

hosts are each others closest relatives.

“But rust taxa on extant primitive host taxa 

are not necessarily more primitive than those 

on advanced hosts. Rusts, in both specific and 

generic levels, may jump to unrelated hosts in 

the course of evolution (Jackson 1931b; Leppik 

1953, 1955, 1959, 1967, 1972). Directions of 

this jump are oriented mostly by ecophysiological 

factors, and not always from primitive 

to advanced host taxa”.
