Abstract

Capers (Capparis spinosa) are affected by white blister rust that has commonly been attributed to Albugo capparidis or to Albugo candida, based on a broad species concept for these organisms. Within the past three years, a great diversity within Albugo causing white blister disease to Brassicaceae has been observed, leading to the description of two new, specialized species within the parasites of Brassicaceae and the confirmation that Albugo lepidii is distinct from Albugo candida. In addition, it has been realized that Albugo candida has a broad host spectrum within the Brassicaceae, extending to the closely related Cleomaceae. Through molecular phylogenetic analysis of cox2 sequences and morphological comparison, it is demonstrated that the host range of this species in fact reaches to Capparaceae. These findings are both relevant for practical plant pathology and raise questions regarding the mechanisms involved in the exceptional broad host range in Albugo candida, compared to the other species so far investigated.
