Abstract

White rust, caused by Albugo candida (Pers. ex Hook) O. Kuntze, is an important disease of a wide variety of Brassica crops. A. candida infects not only agronomically important crops but also can be found on various cruciferous weeds (Meekes et al., this volume). A. candida is closely related to the downy mildews. Albugo is the only genus within the family Albuginaceae which, together with the Peronosporaceae, belongs to the order Peronosporales (Dick, 2002).
