Ramularia rubella is a plant pathogen in Ascomycota that infects Rumex species.
Infection produces reddish spots on leaves.
The red color is caused by the production of rubellin, a photodynamic anthraquinone-derived phytotoxin.
R. rubella was originally described from Rumex aquaticus in Germany; it has a wide geographic range on Rumex species.
It is being investigated as a biological control agent of Rumex obtusifolius.
