The distribution and host range of Thecaphora melandrii, with first records for Britain

Abstract: Summary Thecaphora melandrii (Syd.) Vánky & M.Lutz infects species in the Caryophyllacaeae forming sori with spore balls in the floral organs. We report new finds from Britain, supported by phylogenetic analysis, that confirm its occurrence on Silene uniflora Roth. We review published and web accessible records and note the relatively few records of this smut, its sparse distribution, confined to Europe but scattered predominantly from central to eastern Europe. Analysis of the rDNA ITS and 2… Show more

“…The 65 Thecaphora species are ecologically diverse. They infect host plants from 16 dicotyledonous families, in which they produce dusty sori with spore balls, rarely single spores, in leaves, flowers, anthers, ovaries, seeds, pods, or root tubers (Crous et al, 2018; Frantzeskakis et al, 2017; Kruse, Kummer et al, 2018; Smith et al, 2020; Vánky, 2012, 2013; Vánky & Lutz, 2007; Vánky et al, 2008; Vasighzadeh et al, 2014). The causal agent of leaf smut of R. palmatum was classified as Thecaphora schwarzmaniana (Bai & Wang, 1991, 1993; Guo, 2000; Vánky et al, 2008; Wang et al, 2009; Zhuang, 2005).…”
