<i>Albugo candida</i> Species of single-celled organism

Albugo candida, commonly known as white rust or white blister rust, is an obligate plant pathogen in the family Albuginaceae that infects Brassicaceae species. It has a relatively smaller genome than other oomycetes.

<i>Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae</i> Species of single-celled organism

Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae, or white rust, is an oomycete plant pathogen, although many discussions still treat it as a fungal organism. It causes leaf and stem lesions on various Ipomoea species, including cultivated morning glories and their relatives.

Albugo occidentalis, the causal agent of spinach white rust, is an oomycete plant pathogen, although some discussions still treat it as a fungal organism. Albugo occidentalis is one of the most important spinach diseases in North America, found throughout the United States east of the rocky mountains.

<i>Pustula tragopogonis</i> Species of plant pathogen

Pustula tragopogonis, the goatsbeard white rust, is an oomycete plant pathogen unrelated to fungal organisms.

<i>Albugo</i> Genus of plant-parasitic oomycetes

Albugo is a genus of plant-parasitic oomycetes. Those are not true fungi (Eumycota), although many discussions of this organism still treat it as a fungus. The taxonomy of this genus is incomplete, but several species are plant pathogens. Albugo is one of three genera currently described in the family Albuginaceae, the taxonomy of many species is still in flux.

Wilsoniana bliti, the white rust, is a type of oomycete pathogen of genus Wilsoniana that affects the tissues of plants. In particular, this white rust is found on Amaranth, beets and lambs quarters. Many discussions of this white rust treat it as a type of fungus.

Lepidium oleraceum is a herb in the family Brassicaceae, endemic to New Zealand. Its English common name is Cook's scurvy grass; Māori names include nau, ngau, naunau and heketara.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Phycomycetes</span> Obsolete polyphyletic taxon for certain fungi with nonseptate hyphae

Phycomycetes is an obsolete polyphyletic taxon for certain fungi with aseptate hyphae. It is used in the Engler system. Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores (motile) or by Aplanospores (non-motile). These spores are endogenously produced in sporangium. A zygospore is formed by fusion of two gametes. These gametes are similar in morphology (isogamous) or dissimilar.

<i>Rissoa albugo</i> Species of gastropod

Rissoa albugo is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Rissoidae.

White rust is a disease in plants caused by the oomycete Albugo candida or one of its close relatives. Plants susceptible to this disease generally include members of the Brassica family. White rust has been known to cause agricultural losses in fields cultivating members of this family including broccoli, cauliflower, and Indian mustard. Despite the name, it is not considered a true rust.

Albugo laibachii is a species of oomycete, whose genome has recently (2011) been sequenced. It is a plant pathogen of Arabidopsis thaliana. Albugo laibachii also causes the host plant to become more susceptible to other parasites, when it normally would be more resistant, wearing down the host plant's immune system.

<i>Clanculus albugo</i> Species of gastropod

Clanculus albugo is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

<i>Wilsoniana</i> Genus of plant pathogen

Wilsoniana is a genus of plant-parasitic oomycetes segregated from Albugo. The name is in honor of the American mycologist G.W.Wilson
