Abstract

The pathogens causing white blister rusts (Albuginales, Oomycota) comprises three genera including Albugo, Pustula and Wilsoniana infecting species of Brassicaceae, Caryophyllales and Asteridae, respectively. The current study contributes with new knowledge on Albuginales in Iran. An extensive survey for sampling white blister rust specimens was performed during the 2017-2020 growing season in some regions in Eastern and Northern Iran. Based on morphological and molecular (Cox2 and ITS) data Albugo lepidii on Lepidium sativum, A. koreana on Camelina transcaspica, Albugo arenosa on Strigosella africana, A. candida on various hosts, A. occidentalis on spinach and Wilsoniana portulacae on Portulaca sp. were identified. Our results, represent the first morphologically and molecularly verified report of A. candida on Goldbachia laevigata, Raphanus sativus, Eruca sativa from Iran and on Sinapis arvensis, Savignya parviflora, Isatis leuconeura and Sisymbrium altissimum worldwide. Sisymbrium septulatum is reported as Matrix nova for A. candida. White blister rust caused by A. candida is reported for the first time on a member of the genus Savignya in Iran. Albugo lepidii and A. koreana are new records for Iranian mycobiota. Detailed descriptions and illustrations along with phylogenetic placement here are provided for Wilsoniana portulacae and Albugo occidentalis.
