Plant Pathology & Quarantine 6(2), 106–120, Doi 10.5943/ppq/6/2/1 Abstract A checklist of rust fungi belonging to the genus Puccinia was prepared for Himachal Pradesh, India. All Puccinia species published until 2014 are included in this list. A total of 80 species have been reported on 91 plant species belonging to 33 families. The family Poaceae supports the highest number of species (26 species) followed by Ranunculaceae (8), Asteraceae (7), Apiaceae and Polygonaceae (6 each), Rubiaceae and Cyperaceae (3 each), Acanthaceae, Berberidaceae, Lamiaceae and Saxifragaceae (2 each). The other host plant families are associated with a single species of Puccinia. This study provides the first checklist of Puccinia from Himachal Pradesh. Key words – checklist – Himachal Pradesh – Puccinia spp. – rust fungi Introduction Himachal Pradesh is a hilly state situated in the heart of Himalaya in the northern part of India. The state extends between 30° 22’ 40” – 33° 12’ 20” north latitudes and 75° 44’ 55” – 79° 04’ 20” east longitudes. The total area of the state is 55,670 km2, covered with very high mountains to plain grasslands. -

Ray G. Woods, R. Nigel Stringer, Debbie A. Evans and Arthur O. Chater Summary The rust fungi are a group of specialised plant pathogens. Conserving them seems to fly in the face of reason. Yet as our population grows and food supplies become more precarious, controlling pathogens of crop plants becomes more imperative. Breeding resistance genes into such plants has proved to be the most cost effective solution. Such resistance genes evolve only in plants challenged by pathogens. We hope this report will assist in prioritising the conservation of natural ecosystems and traditional agro-ecosystems that are likely to be the richest sources of resistance genes. Despite its small size (11% of mainland Britain) Wales has supported 225 rust fungi taxa (including 199 species) representing 78% of the total British mainland rust species. For the first time using widely accepted international criteria and data collected from a number of mycologists and institutions, a Welsh regional threat status is offered for all native Welsh rust taxa. The results are compared with other published Red Lists for Wales. Information is also supplied in the form of a census catalogue, detailing the rust taxa recorded from each of the 13 Welsh vice-counties. Of the 225 rust taxa so far recorded from Wales 7 are probably extinct (3% of the total), and 39 (18%) are threatened with extinction. Of this latter total 13 taxa (6%) are considered to be Critically Endangered, 15 (7%) to be Endangered and 13 (6%) to be Vulnerable. A further 20 taxa (9%) are Near Threatened, whilst 15 taxa (7%) lacked sufficient data to permit evaluation. -

A New Species of Rust Fungus on the New Zealand Endemic Plant, Myosotidium, from the Isolated Chatham Islands
Phytotaxa 174 (3): 223–230 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.174.4.3 A new species of rust fungus on the New Zealand endemic plant, Myosotidium, from the isolated Chatham Islands MAHAJABEEN PADAMSEE & ERIC H.C. MCKENZIE Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland, New Zealand email: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Pucciniastrum myosotidii sp. nov. is described from plants of the Chatham Island forget-me-not (Myosotidium hortensium), a host plant that has a conservation status of “nationally endangered”. The rust has been found only on cultivated plants and not on wild plants. Although no teliospores were found, LSU and SSU sequence analysis showed that the new rust is closely related to some species of Pucciniastrum and Thekopsora forming a weakly supported clade together with P. boehmeriae, P. epilobii, P. circaeae, P. goeppertianum, P. guttatum, P. pustulatum, T. minima and Melampsorella symphyti. If this rust is endemic to Chatham Islands, then it must be accepted as a species of conservation value since the host plant is under threat from grazing animals and habitat loss. Key words: Boraginaceae, endemic, megaherb, ornamental, phylogenetic analyses, Pucciniastrum symphyti comb. nov. Introduction Plants of the Chatham Island forget-me-not or giant forget-me-not (Myosotidium hortensium (Decne.) Baill.; Boraginaceae), growing in the Chatham Islands, were found to be infected by a rust fungus in January 2007 (Fig. 1 A–B). The rust was common in a garden on established plants and in a nearby nursery (Beever 2007). -

The morphological and microscopical characteristics of this fungus are described and illustrated based on the collected materials. Key words—Malatya, Pucciniales, taxonomy, Turkey Introduction The genus Cyclotrichium (Boiss.) Maden. & Scheng. (Lamiaceae, tribe Mentheae) contains nine species distributed in Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Six Cyclotrichium species have been reported in Turkey, including two endemic species: C. glabrescens (Boiss. ex Rech.f.) Leblebici and C. niveum (Dirmenci et al. 2010, Dirmenci 2012). To our knowledge no rust fungi have previously been described on Cyclotrichium or cited for earlier synonyms of the species. Puccinia menthae is an autoecious, macrocyclic, long-cycle rust recorded on 28 genera of Lamiaceae (Farr & Rossman 2015). In Turkey, Puccinia menthae has been reported on Calamintha, Clinopodium, Mentha, Micromeria, Origanum, and Satureja (Bahçecioğlu & Kabaktepe 2012). Here we present a record of Puccinia menthae on a new host genus, Cyclotrichium, from Malatya province, Turkey. Materials & methods The material on which this study is based was collected from Malatya in 2015. The host specimen was prepared according to established herbarium techniques. -

Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system. -

Plant Pest Diagnostics Center Annual Report 2010
Plant Pest Diagnostics Center Annual Report 2010 Tribulus terrestris L. or puncturevine (Zygophyllaceae) is a C-rated noxious weed pest and Restricted Noxious Weed Seed in California. The fruit consists of five seed-bearing segments that break apart at maturity. Each segment contains 3 to 5 seeds and has two stout spines that can inflict painful injury to humans and animals. The foliage contains saponin compounds that can be toxic to livestock when ingested in sufficient quantity. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region and is considered a noxious weed in most western states. 2010 Plant Pest Diagnostics Center Annual Report 1 Contents Introduction 3 Diagnostics 4 Research 4 Seminar Series 5 California State Collection Of Arthropods: 2010 Report 6 Plant Pest Diagnostics Center 2010 Highlights & Accomplishments 7 Staffing Changes 12 2010 Annual Report of the Botany Laboratory 14 2010 Annual Report of the Entomology Laboratory 23 Taxonomy & Systematics of Coleoptera 24 Mealybug, Scale & Whitefly Research 25 Dipterological Research Activities in 2010 27 The European Grape Vine Moth NOT Found In California: Eupoecilia ambiguella (Hübner) 32 2010 Annual Report of the Nematology Laboratory 35 2010 Annual Report of the Plant Pathology Laboratory 39 Fungal Rust Disease & Selected Profiles of Unique Detections 40 Plum Pox Virus Survey & Citrus Tristeza Virus Detection 45 2010 Asian Citrus Psyllid & Huanglongbing Recap 46 Seed Health Testing 2010 48 The Nursery Annual Survey of Deciduous Fruit Tree, Nut Tree and Grapevine for 2010 49 HLB & Other Testing Activities 2010 50 2010 Annual Report of the Seed Science Laboratory 52 PPDC Scientist Editorial Responsibilities & Scientific Service 60 Publications 62 Presentations 65 Credits Editors: Timothy Tidwell & Megan O’Donnell Layout: Megan O’Donnell All articles were written by PPDC Staff unless otherwise noted. -
