Abstract

A description is provided for
Xanthomonas fragariae
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Fragaria
×
ananassa
(
Rosaceae
); by artificial inoculation:
Fragaria virginiana, F. vesca, Potentilla fruticosa
and
P. glandulosa
(
Rosaceae
). DISEASE: Angular leaf spot and vascular decline or collapse of strawberry. First described in 1962 in North America. The leaf spot phase appears as minute water-soaked spots on the underside of leaves surrounded by the smallest veins. In the early stages symptoms are only visible on the leaf underside. Spots enlarge, coalesce, penetrate to the upper leaf surface and darken, turning into large, irregular necrotic areas. They have a shiny appearance and are usually covered by bacterial exudate which, when dry, turns brown and appears as gum-like scales. Spots coalesce more frequently along the primary and secondary veins. The dead tissues tear and break off, and the diseased leaf may assume a ragged appearance. Heavy losses may occur with frequent overhead sprinkler irrigation. The conditions favouring infection are moderate to cool daytime temperatures (about 20°C), low night-time temperatures and high humidities (MAAS, 1998). In addition, blossom blight of strawberry has been found in California and is caused by a complex of
X. fragariae
and
Cladosporium cladosporioides
(GUBLER
et al.
, 1999). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: AFRICA: Ethiopia, Réunion. NORTH AMERICA: Canada (New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec), USA (California, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Wisconsin). SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina, Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, Sao Paulo), Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela. ASIA: Taiwan, Israel. AUSTRALASIA: Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria), New Zealand. EUROPE: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy (Sicily), Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine. TRANSMISSION: Rain splash from infested leaf litter in the soil on to young healthy leaves. Penetration occurs through the stomata. Infections of the crowns occur through local wounds or downwards from affected leaves. Bacteria can overwinter in leaf litter and for many years in dried leaf material. Residues of infected leaves and crown infections on runners used for planting are sources of inoculum for primary infections.
Xanthomonas hyacinthi
. [Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria].
Authors: UK, CAB International  , Saddler G. S. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract

A description is provided for
Xanthomonas hyacinthi
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Hyacinthus orientalis
and
Scilla tubergeniana
(
Liliaceae
); by artificial inoculation:
Galtonia candicans, Muscari armeniacum
and
Scilla hispanica
(
Liliaceae
). DISEASE: Yellow disease of hyacinth. Initially, small dark green spots develop on leaves, which may coalesce and develop into streaks, mainly at the leaf margin. Streaks blacken to produce a distinctive 'black rim'. On bulbs, bacterial exudate can be seen between scales, which appear glassy and discoloured. Wet and windy weather, generally followed by dry, hot periods, increases the disease incidence. Similarly, frost, mist and hail can induces similar effects. Bacterial entry into healthy plants is generally through natural openings such as hydathodes and stomata or through wounds. Between 0.7-2.4% of hyacinth bulbs can be infected with yellow disease (VAN DOORN & ROEBROECK, 1993). The disease can be controlled by heat-treating the bulbs (VREERBURG
et al.
, 1986) or the application of bactericidal foliar sprays (KOSTER
et al.
, 1988). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: ASIA: Japan. NORTH AMERICA: USA (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas, Washington). AUSTRALASIA: Australia (New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria). EUROPE: Austria, Denmark, Finland, Former Yugoslavia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Sweden, United Kingdom. TRANSMISSION: By the movement of infected bulbs. Localised spread by the action of wind-blown water droplets, animal movements and the use of infected tools and bulb sorting equipment.

Ascodichaena rugosa

Published: July 2021

Abstract

A description is provided for
Ascodichaena rugosa
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Although generally not regarded as pathogenic, there are some indications that
Ascodichaena rugosa
can act as a parasite. An ultrastructural study (using German material on beech) showed that hyphae of the fungus were distributed solely in phellem cells; cell-to-cell invasion was effected by penetration hyphae, causing no extensive dissolution of the cork wall; finger-like hyphae in the most recently formed layer of cork cells were interpreted as haustoria, suggesting a parasitic relationship; areas of bark infected by the fungus showed increased production of cork cells (BUTIN & PARAMESWARAN, 1980). On oak, the fungus colonizes cork cells and parasitizes the last separated phellem cells by forming finger-like haustoria. A full description of this disease and symptoms was provided by BUTIN (1981

Acer pseudoplatanus

Abstract

A description is provided for
Puccinia pachyderma

Gagea
species only. HOSTS:

(
Liliaceae
). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: ASIA: Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan. EUROPE: Russia (Rostov, Samara, Saratov, Voronezh), Ukraine. TRANSMISSION: No detailed studies have been reported; teliospores are presumably dispersed by air currents and then germinate to produce basidia with basidiospores, which re-infect the host plants; the fungus might also survive in bulbs of the infected plant.
Puccinia punctiformis
. [Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria].
Authors: UK, CAB International  , Tykhonenko Yu. Ya. , Minter D. W. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract

A description is provided for
Puccinia punctiformis
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Rust of
Cirsium
species only. Since 1923 there has been some interest in North America and New Zealand in using
P. punctiformis
as an agent of biocontrol against
Cirsium arvense
, which is a malicious weed in grassland, especially during the change from intensive to extensive management (ecological cropping systems may also increase the incidence of this weed). On its own,
P. punctiformis
does not contain the host, but studies have shown that populations of the host can decline by 95% when the rosette weevil,
Hadroplontus
[
Ceutorhynchus
]
litura
, is also present. The effectiveness is, however, questionable because rhizomes of creeping thistle grow faster than the fungus can pervade them. HOSTS:
Cirsium arvense, C. incanum
(
Compositae
). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: NORTH AMERICA: Canada (British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Québec, rare in the prairies), USA (California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin). ASIA: Afganistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Republic of Georgia, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Russia (East Siberia, Omsk, Primorski krai), Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. AUSTRALASIA: Australia, New Zealand.

TRANSMISSION: The mycelium survives in rhizomes of the infected plant and the next spring spreads up causing systemic infection of the new season's leaves and stems; urediniospores are disseminated by air currents; teliospores hibernate in the dead tissue of the host plant and then germinate to produce basidia with basidiospores, which re-infect the host plants.
