Observations of ultraviolet emission line spectra obtained with the IUE in the region 1200 to 2000 A are reported. Low resolution spectra for a representative sample of main sequence stars in the spectral range A5 to K5 and the supergiant alpha Agr are considered. High excitation temperature lines are detected in stars later than A7 and absolute fluxes are determined. The detection of stellar chromospheres and transition region features in stars earlier than FO is discussed. The C IV emission flux decreases with the effective temperature of main sequence; low emission quiet stars are distinguished. Other transition region emission lines show comparable fluxes to the C IV with no particular trend against the formation temperature. Flux ratios to the quiet Sun in all F stars show an increasing trend with the excitation temperature and show a minimum near the C IV line formation temperature, as the active Sun to quiet ratio does.
