Abstract :Nowadays, biotrophic diseases such as fungi in wheat fear farmers since they cause serious losses of income. Wheat has been adapted to diverse climatic conditions, for instance, grown over a range of altitudes and latitudes under irrigated, dry, and wetter conditions. Expectedly wheat plant cultivation will reach sixty percent to cover human food necessity in coming decades. However, biotrophic fungi, for instance, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia triticina, and Blumeria graminis f. sp. which are obligate parasites weaken the plant structured plant framework and out coming in poor plant health and minimized grain fill. Therefore, this review has moved forward to answer the main three research questions as RQ1: How genetic resistance affects wheat crop? RQ2: What are the damages that cause via biotrophic fungal on the wheat? RQ3: What are the diversity and the area distribution of the “Ug99” pathotype. In addition, the result of this observational study will be expected to be beneficial for several areas such as in cultivation, production, education, and moreover in research.
