. DISEASE: Causes stripe smut of grasses. Long chlorotic streaks develop on leaves which develop into sori containing the black teliospores. When these split open the leaves shred and curl back. Some stunting of the host also occurs and flowering is reduced. Sori have been seen in stolons and inflorescences (47, 2184; 49, 2516; 51, 2611). Similar symptons are produced by
Urocystis agropyri
(CMI Descriptions 716) (47, 3477). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: America, Europe, E. Asia, New Zealand. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne spores which contaminate seed, soil and vegetative planting material. The fungus is heterothallic. Teliospores require a dormant period before germination in soil. Infection of seedling coleoptiles and buds or crowns and stolons can occur. The fungus perennates as systemic mycelium in crowns, stolons etc. and can be dispersed in vegetative planting material (49, 3357, 1054).

A description is provided for
Peronospora dianthicola
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST:
Dianthus caryophyllus
. DISEASE: Downy mildew of carnation. Early symptoms are seen on the leaves which have pale green to yellowish transverse bands and may bend at these lesions. Infected plants are stunted and become withered. Infection of the growing point may result in the development of axillary buds giving the plants a bushy appearance. Barthelet describes the shoots which can develop in some resistant varieties as resembling the basal spikes of
Pseudoperonospora humuli
on hops, i.e., shoots with smaller leaves, thickened stem and shortened internodes. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe (Britain*, Denmark, France, Greece, Turkey); N. America (California, USA); S. America (Colombia). *no herbarium material, but recorded by F.A. Mason,
The Naturalist
no. 848: 270, 1927; on leaves of carnation under glass, Duncombe Park, Helmsley, Yorks. (Sept. 1920). TRANSMISSION: Oospores, which are formed abundantly in the tissues of diseased plants, are thought to be important in disease transmission. A small amount of infection is often seen on the plants in the autumn and these foci can allow the pathogen to overwinter until more favourable weather conditions permit the spread of the disease the following spring. Possible weed hosts for the pathogen such as
Cerastium
and
Stellaria
, growing in the vicinity, were examined and found to be infected with a different species of
Peronospora
belonging to the
P. alsinearum
group (33, 230).

, including
R. souliei
×
R. thomsonii, R. croceum, R. stewartianum, R. sinogrande, R. campylocarpum, R. discolor
and species of the
R. sanguineum
series. DISEASE: Leaf spot of chinese rhododendrons. Rhododendron hybrids with
R. souliei
as one parent appear to be particularly susceptible: where a number of seedlings has been grown from such crosses, they do not all show equal susceptibility to the disease, suggesting that resistance to the disease is genetically controlled. In areas where the disease is present, susceptible hybrid progeny of
R. soulici
should not be grown. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (China, India, Nepal, Upper Burma, Tibet), Europe (Great Britain). It is likely that the disease is widespread in Asia in the regions from which susceptible species of
Rhododendron
have been introduced to Britain. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet or humid weather.

A description is provided for
Isthmiella faullii
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Apparently confined to

. DISEASE: Causes a needle blight of
Abies balsamea
. According to Darker (1932), it 'is the commonest and most destructive of the
Hypodermataceae
on
Abies balsamea
in eastern North America'. It is particularly damaging to seedlings and juvenile plants. In northern Ontario, from where the disease was originally identified, infection occurs during the summer, but signs of the disease do not appear until the following spring, when needles become brown and conidiomata develop, conidia being discharged in July, and shortly after this ascomata begin to form, maturing in July of the following year. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Reported from Canada: Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and USA: Michigan and New Hampshire. TRANSMISSION: Through air dispersal of ascospores, which directly infect the leaves (Darker, 1932).

A description is provided for
Clavibacter XYLI subsp. cynodontis
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST:
Cynodon dactylon
, where it is limited to the xylem. It also multiplies in the xylem of sugar cane and a Sudan grass-sorghum hybrid when artificially inoculated, but symptoms are not produced (61, 4328). Further host range not yet recorded. DISEASE: Bermuda grass stunting disease. Natural occurrences so far discovered have been in combination with mycoplasma-like organisms thought to cause white leaf and witches' broom symptoms. The presence of the bacterium causes considerably more severe symptoms. The full ecological significance of this bacterium has not yet been evaluated, but a further stress is usually required to produce noticeable symptoms. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Taiwan, USA (Florida). TRANSMISSION: So far only mechanical transmission, by artificial inoculation, is known. Cutting blades and possibly grazing animals are likely to spread the infection.

A description is provided for
Clavibacter XYLI subsp. XYLI
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST:
Saccharum officinarum
, where it is restricted to the xylem. It produces a characteristic wilting when inoculated into sorghum-Sudan grass hybrid NB280S (61, 5933); also able to multiply in the xylem of various grasses and cereals, including
Brachiaria mutica, B. miliiformis, Chloris gayana, Cynodon dactylon, Echinochloa colonum, Imperata cylindrica, Panicum maximum, Pennisetum purpureum, Rhynchelytrum repens, Sorghum bicolor, S. halepense, S. sudanense, S. verticilliporum, Sporobolus capensis
and
Zea mays
when artificially inoculated, but although it can be transmitted back to sugar cane to produce the disease, it does not produce symptoms in these plants (Gillespie & Teakle, 1989). DISEASE: Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugar cane. The cane makes slower than normal growth and is generally unthrifty. Canes are thinner with shorter internodes than normal and ratoon or stubble crops are particularly affected. Internally, reddish vascular bundles may be seen, especially at the nodes, or in immature cane, the interior of the nodes may be generally a faint pink. Such symptoms are, however, not particularly reliable for diagnosis, as they can result from stress caused by other factors. To confirm the disease it is probably best to observe the bacterium in the vessels by light or electron microscopy, use a serological method or both. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Very widespread due to transmission in planting material. Records include: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Reunion, South Africa (Natal), Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Burma, China, India (Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh), Indonesia (Java), Japan, Malaysia (W.), Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia (NSW, Qd), Fiji, Hawaii, Spain, Mexico, USA (Florida, LA), Antigua, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nevis, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, St. Kitts, Trinidad, Argentina, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela (

Ilex aquifolium, I. aquifolium
f.
aureo-marginata
. DISEASE: Produces a severe die-back disease (leaf and twig blight) of young and mature holly plants; a facultatively necrotrophic plant pathogen. Symptoms consist of black leaf spots, defoliation, twig die-back and berry infection. Limb and trunk cankers develop inside tissues. Leaf fall begins from the lower branches and progresses upwards producing shafts or pyramids of defoliation. The disease develops well in cool, wet weather but is checked during hot, dry periods. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe; UK (England), Netherlands. North America; USA (OR, WA). TRANSMISSION: By sporangia borne on sporangiophores which emerge through stomata on the lower surface of leaves. Sporangia are dispersed by rain-splash or by wind and infect leaves via wounds, or twigs via leaf scars. Growth of the mycelium from twigs extends into branches. Berries are infected in late winter and spring. Oospores are formed in leaf spots and in the cortex of dead twigs. They may act as perennating structures, allowing the fungus to survive over the summer and then germinate in cooler weather.

Additional areas not mapped are: Africa (Egypt, Tunisia); Australasia & Oceania (Australia: South Australia); Europe (Hungary, Switzerland). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by seed borne conidia and ascospores (61, 4438; Jellis & Punithalingam, 1991; 70, 3631). It has been reported that crop debris can be an important way of carryover in Australia and Iraq (Geard, 1962; 63, 1499). Since disease spread has been noticed for up to 200 m in winter crops (60, 4748), the possibility of conidia being dispersed by wind has been suggested. In Canada A.
fabae
did not survive over winter in field plots ploughed down the previous year (57, 3703).

) (72, 5605) and a leaf spot on the a number of orchids including
Cymbidium
spp.,
Dendrobium
sp. and
Paphiopedilum
spp. (66, 4326). The bacterium can also be found in soil, in clinical material, in disinfectant solutions and as an opportunistic pathogen of man and animals. It is gaining in significance as a major pathogen for sufferers of cystic fibrosis (Isles
et al.
, 1984; McKevitt & Woods, 1984; Thomassen
et al.
, 1985). DISEASE: Onion slippery skin; this is a rot of bulb scales, usually occurring at or near maturity, sometimes in storage. The bacterium does not appear to be strongly invasive, attacking plants that are damaged or weakened. Bacteria are thought to gain entry through the neck or leaf blades as the foliage falls over and the epidermis breaks, at maturity (64, 5550). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide.

A description is provided for
Anthracoidea caricis
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Carex pilulifera, Carex montana
and occasionally other species of
Carex
in section
Montanae
. In addition to these, its regular principal and accessory hosts, a few
A. caricis
sori occur rarely on other, probably unrelated, species of
Carex
. DISEASE: Smut of
Carex
. Since the ovaries are destroyed, infected flowers cannot set seed. However, infection is not systemic but is confined to individual florets, often leaving parts of the inflorescence to develop normally; seed production is therefore reduced, not prevented entirely. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece (52, 2856), Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia (European region), Sweden, Switzerland, UK (Scotland); North America: Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, NS, NT, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan); Greenland; USA (Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Massachussetts, ME, Montana, MN, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Wyoming) (Kukkonen, 1963; 69, 2765). TRANSMISSION: Ustilospores and basidiospores are disseminated by wind and rain, possibly also by insects living in the sedge tussocks. Infection occurs in individual inflorescences. It is thought that high latitude and altitude favour infection because a comparatively short vegetation period increases the chances of synchronous anthesis and ustilospore germination and therefore of successful infection. High atmospheric humidity also may be important for infection (Nannfeldt, 1979).
