Abstract A description is provided for Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On members of the Convolvulaceae, especially on species of Ipomoea (Quamoclit, Merremia) and Convolvulus. Economic hosts include Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato, I. pes-tigridis and probably I. aquatic (= I. replans - water spinach); I. horsfalliae, I. purpurea and Calonyction aculeatum are amongst ormentals attacked. DISEASE: White rust of sweet potitto. common white (blister) rust of Ipomoca (Convolvulus etc.). Sporangial pustules are produced on lower leaf surfaces, (petioles, stem and flowers), separately from the oospores, the latter often developing in pronounced swellings, galls or elongated tumour-like growths of stem and branches (flowers, petioles, roots) (Singh & Bedi, 1966; Farlow, 1889). The disease may cause trailing species to assume an upright habit (11, 545) and individual branches may show a witches broom effect. Diseased plants can also exhibit chlorosis, general distortion, defoliation and flower abortion (Singh & Bedi, 1965, 1966; Harter & Weimer, 1929). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread on Ipomoea and Convolvulus spp. in tropical and warmer temperate regions. Main areas incluide North America (USA), tropical and South America (most countries); Africa (Moroco, Sudan and countries south of Sahara); S.W. Europe (S. France, Italy, Malta); S.W. USSR (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) and Asia (India, Pakistan and Far East); Australia (Queensland) and Pacific. Apparently not recorded in S.E. Europe, nor in Middle Eastern countries from Egypt through to Afghanistan. See under notes for distribution on I. batatas. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne sporangia and by short distance water dispersal of sporangia and zoospores. Initial infection by oospores from overwintered host tissue can occur (Harter & Weimer, 1929; 39, 750).

Abstract A description is provided for Albugo candida. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On members of Cruciferae and Capparidaceae and also on leaves of Reseda alba (Jorstad, 1964). DISEASE: White blister or white rust of crucifers. Infection occurs mostly in young plants. White chalky pustules present all over the plant except the roots. Often causes damage to cabbage and its varieties and other crucifers (25, 416; 32, 100; 39, 334; 51, 813). The attacked parts often show marked hypertrophy, especially of the inflorescence. In rare instances galls have been found on roots of radish, contining oospores and globular haustoria (30, 194; 32, 81, 192; 33, 459). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World wide where hosts are present. TRANSMISSION: Primary infection is by zoospores from germinating zoospores left in the soil or plant debris from a previous crop (Butler & Jones, 1949; 34, 69, 336; 38, 582; 39, 753). Wind-borne sporangia also germinate by formation of zoospores.

The oomycete Albugo candida causes white blister rust, an important disease of Brassica crops. Distinct races of A. candida are defined by their specificity for infecting different host species. The White Rust Resistance 4 (WRR4) locus in Col-0 accession of Arabidopsis thaliana contains three genes that encode TIR-NLR resistance proteins. The Col-0 alleles of WRR4A and WRR4B confer resistance to at least four A. candida races (2, 7 and 9 from B. juncea, B. rapa and B. oleracea, respectively, and Race 4 from Capsella bursa-pastoris). Resistance mediated by both paralogs can be overcome by Col-0-virulent isolates of Race 4. After comparing repertoires of candidate effectors in resisted and resistance-breaking strains, we used transient co-expression in tobacco or Arabidopsis to identify effectors recognized by WRR4A and WRR4B. A library of CCG effectors from four A. candida races was screened for WRR4A- or WRR4B- dependent elicitation of hypersensitive response (HR). These CCG genes were validated for WRR-dependent HR by bombardment assays in wild type Col-0, wrr4A or wrr4B mutants. Our analysis revealed eight WRR4A-recognized CCGs and four WRR4B-recognized CCGs. Remarkably, the N-terminal region of 100 amino acids after the secretion signal is sufficient for WRR4A recognition of these eight recognized effectors. This multiple recognition capacity potentially explains the broad-spectrum resistance to many A. candida races conferred by WRR4 paralogs.

Abstract A description is provided for Arthrocladiella mougeotii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Powdery mildew of Lycium species only. The mycelium, conidiophores, conidia and ascomata form first white, then dirty-grey patches on damaged green parts of the host. Infected parts are deformed slightly and, in cases of high infection, plants can lose their ornamental qualities. Damaged leaves can fall prematurely. HOSTS: Lycium barbarum (= L. europaeum), L. chinense, L. dasystemum, L. halimifolium, L. ovatum, L. potaninii, L. rhombifolium, L. ruthenicum. [Type host - Lycium barbarum] GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Canary Islands. Asia (temperate areas only): Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Korea, Russia (Russian far east), Tadzhikistan, Taiwan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Australasia: New Zealand (introduced). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine (southern), former Yugoslavia. North America: USA (introduced). TRANSMISSION: By wind-dispersed conidia. The rôle of ascospores in disease transmission is unknown, although it has been supposed that they can cause the initial stage of the disease.
