ABSTRACT
This work is a contribution to the study of the Pucciniales fungi (Basidiomycetes) of Morocco. Surveys in
northern Atlantic Morocco have allowed collecting a dozen species of plants (Euphorbia segetalis, E.
peplus, Carduus tenuiflorus and Centaurea calcitrapa) infected by rust. The different observed symptoms
have been described in the laboratory and a microscopic study of spores allowed identifying the
responsible pathogens for these symptoms: Melampsora euphorbiae, Melampsora euphorbiae-pepli,
Puccinia calcitrapae and Puccinia carduorum. The obtained results may help to know the diversification
of host Pucciniales and the description of other new species for fungal diversity of Morocco.
Key words: Morocco, Weeds, Pucciniales, symptoms, description.
