This document presents the life cycle of the fungus Puccinia. Puccinia is a microcytic, diphasic fungus that is heteroecious, meaning it has two hosts to complete its life cycle. The life cycle involves four spore stages - uredospores, teleutospores, basidiospores, and acediospores - that allow the fungus to infect both wheat plants and barberry bushes as it progresses through its sexual and asexual reproduction phases.
