Abstract

Albugo candida is a destructive fungus infecting brassicaceous hosts. The genetic diversity within the A. candida complex from various host plants was investigated by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA and the cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COX2) region of mtDNA. The aligned nucleotide sequences of A. candida shared significantly high distances, up to 20.4 and 8.9%, in two genes. The phylogenetic trees, obtained using the Bayesian method and maximum parsimony analysis, showed two separate groups that corresponded to the host genera. Group I included A. candida isolates infecting Arabis, Autrieta, Berteroa, Biscutella, Brassica, Cardaminopsis, Diplotaxis, Eruca, Erysimum, Heliophila, Iberis, Lunaria, Raphanus, Sinapis, Sisymbrium, and Thlaspi. Group II contained all isolates from Capsella, Descurainia, Diptychocarpus, Draba, and Lepidium. The genetic similarities between the two genes among isolates within Group I were 99.0-100% and 99.6-100%, while those within Group II were 90.4-100% and 91.1-100%, respectively, showing considerably lower values than for Group I. The A. candida isolates from Capsella bursa-pastoris in Korea are clearly separated by sequence analysis for the two genes co...Continue Reading
