New Collections of Powdery Mildews (Erysiphales) in Poland Polish Botanical Journal 47(2): 215–222, 2002 NEW COLLECTIONS OF POWDERY MILDEWS (ERYSIPHALES) IN POLAND AGATA WOŁCZAN´ SKA & WIESŁAW MUŁENKO Abstract: New hosts and records of powdery mildews (Erysiphales) in Poland are discussed. Erysiphe adunca (Wallr.) Fr. was found on a host new for this fungus: Salix repens L. subsp. arenaria (L.) Hiitonen. Two other species – Golovinomyces cichoracea- rum (DC.) V. P. Gelyuta var. cichoracearum (on Chondrilla juncea L.) and Erysiphe syringae Schwein. (on Ligustrum vulgare L.) – were collected on host plants new for Poland. The anamorphic as well as teleomorphic (cleistothecia with ascospores) state of Erysiphe syringae was observed on Ligustrum vulgare and Syringa vulgaris L.; hitherto this fungus has formed mature cleistothecia only in North America. Erysiphe flexuosa (Peck) U. Braun & S. Takamatsu has been introduced from North America to Europe recently. Aesculus pavia L. and A. × carnea Hayne are new hosts for this fungus in Poland. Golovinomyces cichoracearum var. cichoracearum [on Cirsium canum (L.) All.] and Podosphaera spiraeae (Sawada) U. Braun & S. Takamatsu (on Spiraea cf. japonica L.) are recorded on rare host plants.

These include the uplands of the Clees, Stiperstones and Long Mynd with their associated heath land, forested land such as the Forest of Wyre and the Mortimer Forest, the lowland bogs and meres in the north of the county, and agricultural land scattered with small woodlands and copses. This diversity makes Shropshire unique. The Shropshire Fungus Group has been in existence for 18 years. (Inaugural meeting 6th December 1992. The aim was to produce a fungus flora for the county. This aim has not yet been realised for a number of reasons, chief amongst these are manpower and cost. The group has however collected many records by trawling the archives, contributions from interested individuals/groups, and by field meetings. It is these records that are published here. The first Shropshire checklist was published in 1997. Many more records have now been added and nearly 40,000 of these have now been added to the national British Mycological Society’s database, the Fungus Record Database for Britain and Ireland (FRDBI). During this ten year period molecular biology, i.e. DNA analysis has been applied to fungal classification.

Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 2 Tereshchenkivska St., Kiev, 01601, Ukraine *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract — Erysiphe syringae-japonicae was reported on leaves of Syringa vulgaris for the first time from Turkey. A short description, distribution, and illustrations for this powdery mildew fungus are provided and discussed briefly. Key words — Asia Minor, Erysiphales, invasive species, lilac, Microsphaera Introduction A powdery mildew collected in Japan on the lilac, Syringa amurensis var. japonica [= S. reticulata], was described by Braun (1982) as Microsphaera syringae-japonicae (Erysiphales, Ascomycota). Later, this species was reported from the Russian Far East (Bunkina 1991, as “Microsphaera syringae”) and from Korea (Shin 2000). Microsphaera syringae-japonicae was already known on lilacs in North America and Europe, and was distinguished from M. syringae, mainly by its evanescent mycelium, its larger number of spores in the ascus, and its usually more extensively pigmented chasmothecial appendage bases. In 1988, one of the authors (VP Heluta) critically examined the type specimens of powdery mildews described from the Russian Far East, and showed that one of them, the type specimen of M. aceris on leaves of Acer barbinerve, had chasmothecia identical to those of M. syringae-japonicae. However they were in adherent groups that could have drifted from another host such as aSyringa sp.

  • Disease and Insect Resistant Ornamental Plants: Syringa
    nysipm.cornell.edu 2018 hdl.handle.net/1813/56377 Disease and Insect Resistant Ornamental Plants Mary Thurn, Elizabeth Lamb, and Brian Eshenaur New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, Cornell University SYRINGA Lilac pixabay.com Syringa is a genus of about 30 species of lilac trees and shrubs native to Europe and Asia and widely grown as an ornamental in North America. For many, “lilac” brings to mind the common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, known for its fragrant masses of purple, lavender and white blooms in May. However, the common lilac is susceptible to several diseases and insects, including powdery mildew, bacterial blight, scale and borers. Some disease-resistant cultivars have been reported, and there are other less susceptible species and hybrids available. DISEASES Powdery Mildew is a common disease of lilacs caused primarily by the fungus Erysiphe syringae. Leaves of infected plants develop a whitish coating during the summer, and while it does not usually cause permanent damage, aesthetic quality can be greatly diminished. Cultivars of S. vulgaris are more susceptible than those of most other lilacs (8), and plants in shady sites with poor air circulation are more likely to be severely affected.

The two former were found in 2006, while the latter was first detected in 2008. Chasmothecia (formerly named cleistothecia) were not found on white spirea until 2010. Several locations seemed to have optimal conditions for development of powdery mildew diseases in 2006. That year the long established Sawadaea bicornis on sycamore maple (Acer pseudo- platanus), was found for the first time on tatarian maple (Acer tataricum ssp. ginnala) and one cultivar from hedge maple (Acer campestre ‘Red Shine’). Also several species and cultivars of Rhododendron had massive attacks of powdery mildew in 2006. In 2010, chasmothecia of E. azaleae were found on severely affected R. ‘Magnifica’ in western

Abstract: Erysiphe flexuosa, a powdery mildew parasite of Aesculus species, is believed to have originated in North America where distribution records were confined to regions east of the Rocky Mountains. The fungus recently was found in eastern Washington State and northern Idaho. The fungus can be distinguished readily from other powdery mildews attacking Aesculus species by the presence of two distinctive kinds of chasmothecial appendages. Consistent with previous reports on similar species, observations determined that subulate appendages formed first, on dorsal sides of chasmothecia. The longer, uncinate appendages formed equatorially during later chasmothecial maturation. There are no Aesculus species native to northwest North America that could have hosted an undetected population of the fungus. It appears likely that E. flexuosa became established relatively recently in the inland Pacific Northwest, possibly being introduced on infected host material, similar to the situation in Europe where several reports documented the presence of the fungus beginning in 2000.

  • S-Type Powdery Mildew on Lilac in Australia
    CSIRO PUBLISHING www.publish.csiro.au/journals/apdn Australasian Plant Disease Notes, 2009, 4,21–22 S-type powdery mildew on lilac in Australia J. H. Cunnington A,B and R. W. Brett A ABiosciences Research Division, Department of Primary Industries, Knoxfield, Private Bag 15, Ferntree Gully Delivery Centre, Victoria 3156, Australia. BCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. In 2004, powdery mildew on lilac (Syringa vulgaris) was collected in a home garden in an inner suburb of Melbourne. At that time it could not be identified, but appeared to be the only verifiable record of powdery mildew on lilac in Australia. A recombinant DNA internal transcribed spacer sequence from a 2008 sample, collected from the same garden, revealed that the fungus is the S-type lilac powdery mildew that lacks a clear name. Powdery mildew occurs on lilac (Syringa spp.) in many parts of the world. Braun (1987) recognised two species of powdery mildew fungi; Erysiphe syringae Schwein. ( Microsphaera syringae (Schwein.) H. Magn.) and E. syringae-japonicae U. Braun & S. Takam. ( Microsphaera syringae-japonicae U. Braun). The former occurs in Europe and North America. The latter occurs in Asia. The main morphological difference between the two species is that E. syringae forms four or fives ascospores per ascus, while E. syringae-japonica forms 6–8 spores per ascus. However, Bolay (2005) could not find this difference in ascospore numbers and concluded that they were both the same species. A molecular phylogenetic study was undertaken by Seko et al. (2008) to clarify the status of the two species.
