Introduction Diaporthe vaccinii Shear (anamorph Phomopsis vaccinii Shear) is recorded on stems, shoots and leaves of cultivated Vaccinium corymbosum L. (blueberry), V. macrocarpon Aiton (American cranberry), V. vitis-idaea L. (cowberry) and autochtonous species of European V. myrtillus L., (blueberry), V. oxycoccus L. (cranberries). D. vaccinii causes phomopsis canker and dieback, twig blight, viscid rot (fruit rot). It is common in temperate climate areas of North America: Canada (Nova Scotia), USA (in 11 States). There are a few reports of this fungus on plants in Europe: in Romania, UK (eradicated) and Lithuania.

Leaf Spot Characteristics of Phomopsis Durionis on Durian (Durio Zibethinus Murray) and Latent Infection of the Pathogen. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(1): 185–193. A survey of leaf spot disease on durian caused by Phomopsis durionis was conducted in durian growing areas in eastern Thailand, Chanthaburi and Trat provinces. It was found that lesions with yellow halos on both mature and young leaves are variable in sizes (1–10 mm in diameter). In this study, nine morphologically distinct isolates of Phomopsis were obtained from durian leaf spots. Some of them produced small number of pycnidia on potato dextrose agar a er incubation for 30 days. Artifi cial inoculation on wounded leaves of durian seedlings, resulted in the production of browning areas with yellow halos and pycnidium formation at 13 days and 20 days a er inoculation, respectively. Furthermore, red-brown spots with yellow halos on leaf tissues were observed at 32 days a er inoculation. High density of Phomopsis was observed in durian symptomless leaves and fl owers indicated the latent infection of the pathogen in the fi elds. Interestingly, crude extract of durian leaf with preformed substances demonstrated inhibition of spore germination and germ tube growth of the pathogen, Phomopsis sp., on water agar.

The latter include fungal species from the family Diaporthaceae. The aim of our study was to determine Diaporthaceae species present in the woody parts of grapevines sampled from 12 vine-growing coastal and continental areas of Croatia. The fungi were isolated from diseased wood, and cultures analysed for phenotype (morphology and pathogenicity) and DNA sequence (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2). Most isolates were identifi ed as Phomopsis viticola, followed by Diaporthe neotheicola and Diaporthe eres. This is the fi rst report of Diaporthe eres as a pathogen on grapevine in the world, while for Diaporthe neotheicola this is the fi rst report in Croatia. Pathogenicity trials confi rmed Phomopsis viticola as a strong and Diaporthe neotheicola as a weak pathogen. Diaporthe eres turned out to be a moderate pathogen, which implies that the species could have a more important role in the aetiology of GTD.

Bulletin of the National Research Centre (2019) 43:1 Bulletin of the National https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-018-0041-2 Research Centre RESEARCH Open Access Management of strawberry leaf blight disease caused by Phomopsis obscurans using silicate salts under field conditions Farid Abd-El-Kareem, Ibrahim E. Elshahawy and Mahfouz M. M. Abd-Elgawad* Abstract Background: Due to the increased economic and social benefits of the strawberry crop yield in Egypt, more attention has been paid to control its pests and diseases. Leaf blight, caused by the fungus Phomopsis obscurans, is one of the important diseases of strawberry plants. Therefore, effect of silicon and potassium, sodium and calcium silicates, and a fungicide on Phomopsis leaf blight of strawberry under laboratory and field conditions was examined. Results: Four concentrations, i.e., 0, 2, 4, and 6 g/l of silicon as well as potassium, sodium and calcium silicates could significantly reduce the linear growth of tested fungus in the laboratory test where complete inhibition of linear growth was obtained with 6 g/l. The other concentrations showed less but favorable effects. The highest reduction of disease severity was obtained with potassium silicate and calcium silicate separately applied as soil treatment combined with foliar spray which reduced the disease incidence by 83.3 and 86.7%, respectively. Other treatments showed significant (P ≤ 0.05) but less effect. The highest yield increase was obtained with potassium silicate and calcium silicate applied as soil treatment combined with foliar spray which increased fruit yield by 60 and 53.8%, respectively.

  • The Perfect Stage of the Fungus Which Causes Melanose of Citrus1
    THE PERFECT STAGE OF THE FUNGUS WHICH CAUSES MELANOSE OF CITRUS1 By FREDERICK A. WOLF Pathologist, Office of Fruit Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture INTRODUCTION A disease of citrus and related plants to which the common name melanose is applied was ffrst recognized near Citra, Fla., by Swingle and Webber 2 in 1892. Their account of the disease, published in 1896, states that in their opinion it was caused by a " vegetable parasite" which they were not able to isolate in culture. In 1912 a paper by Fawcett3 was published in which he set forth the results of his investigations on a type of stem-end decay of fruits, and he as- cribed the cause of the decay to a previously undescribed organism which he designated PJiomopsis citri. The relationship between this stem-end rot and melanose was not suspected at first. Evidence has been presented by Floyd and Stevens,4 however, and by others who have investigated this problem, which shows that the two forms are undoubtedly caused by one and the same fungus. The rules of proof to establish this relationship have never been completely followed, because thus far it has not been possible for anyone to isolate Pho- mopsis citri from melanose lesions on leaves, twigs, and fruits. In July, 1925, the present writer found, on fallen decaying twigs of lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle), on the grounds of the United States Citrus-Disease Field Laboratory, Orlando, Fia., a species of Diaporthe. Since several species of the form genus Phomopsis are known to have an ascigerous stage belonging to the genus Diaporthe, it was suspected that these specimens were those of the perfect stage of Phomopsis citri.

(Diaporthales, Ascomycetes), evidenced by morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis. Mycosphere 8(5), 817–826, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/5/3 Abstract Diaporthe juglandicola sp. nov, collected from diseased branches of Juglans mandshurica in Beijing, China, is described and illustrated in this paper. Evidence for this new species is provided by its holomorphic morphology and phylogenetic analysis. Morphologically, the asexual morph produces hyaline, aseptate, ellipsoidal, alpha conidia (8.1–8.7 × 2.3–2.9 μm), while the sexual morph produces 8-spored, unitunicate, clavate to cylindric asci and fusoid, 0–1-septate ascospores. The phylogeny inferred from combined multi-locus sequences (CAL, HIS, ITS, TEF1-α, TUB) grouped the isolates of the new species into a distinct lineage. Key words – dieback – molecular phylogeny – new species – taxonomy Introduction The genus Diaporthe (syn. Phomopsis) was established by Nitschke (1870). Species of Diaporthe occur widely in natural ecosystems, comprising endophytes and saprobes, as well as plant pathogens (Uecker 1988, Rehner & Uecker 1994, Rossman & Palm-Hernández 2008, Udayanga et al. 2011, 2012a, b). According to Index Fungorum, there are 977 names in Diaporthe and 980 names in Phomopsis, although the relationships between the asexual and sexual taxa are mostly unclear.

  • Fungal Secretome Profile Categorization of Cazymes
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fungal secretome profle categorization of CAZymes by function and family corresponds to fungal phylogeny and taxonomy: Example Aspergillus and Penicillium Kristian Barrett1, Kristian Jensen2, Anne S. Meyer1, Jens C. Frisvad1,4* & Lene Lange3,4 Fungi secrete an array of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), refecting their specialized habitat- related substrate utilization. Despite its importance for ftness, enzyme secretome composition is not used in fungal classifcation, since an overarching relationship between CAZyme profles and fungal phylogeny/taxonomy has not been established. For 465 Ascomycota and Basidiomycota genomes, we predicted CAZyme-secretomes, using a new peptide-based annotation method, Conserved- Unique-Peptide-Patterns, enabling functional prediction directly from sequence. We categorized each enzyme according to CAZy-family and predicted molecular function, hereby obtaining a list of “EC-Function;CAZy-Family” observations. These “Function;Family”-based secretome profles were compared, using a Yule-dissimilarity scoring algorithm, giving equal consideration to the presence and absence of individual observations. Assessment of “Function;Family” enzyme profle relatedness (EPR) across 465 genomes partitioned Ascomycota from Basidiomycota placing Aspergillus and Penicillium among the Ascomycota. Analogously, we calculated CAZyme “Function;Family” profle-similarities among 95 Aspergillus and Penicillium species to form an alignment-free, EPR-based dendrogram. This revealed a stunning congruence between EPR categorization and phylogenetic/taxonomic grouping of the Aspergilli and Penicillia. Our analysis suggests EPR grouping of fungi to be defned both by “shared presence“ and “shared absence” of CAZyme “Function;Family” observations. This fnding indicates that CAZymes-secretome evolution is an integral part of fungal speciation, supporting integration of cladogenesis and anagenesis.

In this study, isolates from melanose samples were obtained and analyzed. Firstly, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences were used to measure Diaporthe-like boundary species. Then, a subset of thirty-eight representatives were selected to perform the phylogenetic analysis with combined sequences of ITS, beta-tubulin gene (TUB), translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF), calmodulin gene (CAL), and histone-3 gene (HIS). As a result, these representative isolates were identified belonging to D. citri, D. citriasiana, D. discoidispora, D. eres, D. sojae, and D. unshiuensis. Among these species, the D. citri was the predominant species that could be isolated at highest rate from different melanose diseased tissues.

Mycosphere 8(5), 1157–1168, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/5/6 Abstract We describe for the first time the fungus Diaporthe toxicodendri sp. nov., which causes canker disease on the stems and twigs of Toxicodendron vernicifluum. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis using combined multigene sequence data from the rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence and partial genes for calmodulin, histone H3, beta-tubulin, and translation elongation factor 1-alpha. The results indicate that D. toxicodendri occupies a monophyletic clade with high support. Although 10 species are phylogenetically closely related to D. toxicodendri, morphological characteristics of size of alpha conidia and lacking of beta and gamma conidia support the distinction of this fungus from those closely related species. No sexual morphic structures have yet been found for the species. The pathogenicity of this species was confirmed by the inoculation test to T.
