While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are sphced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and cu;:tinuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. UniversiW Micrdfilms International 300 N.

The species was described as Elsinoë panici from Iowa col­ lections by L. H. Tiffany and J. H. Mathre (1961). This host-pathogen relationship is particularly interesting because the only other reports of species of Elsinoë, or of the closely related genus Myriangium Mont. and Berk., on a member of the Gramineae are of Myriangium bambusae Rick on Phyllostachys puberula Munro near Nanking, China (Tai, 1931), and Elsinoë sacchari (Lo, 1964) on Saccharum offici- narum L. from Taiwan, China. sacchari Lo has also been observed in commercial sugar cane fields in Florida (Todd, 1960). All other hosts listed for Elsinoë spp. are herbaceous or woody dicots. The majority of species described are tropical or subtropical, but some species cause serious diseases on many hosts in temperate zones. Little developmental work has been done on any genus in the loculoascomycetous order, the Myriangiales. Tewari (1969), Tai (1931), Tendulkar (1971) and Miller (1938) examined sexual development in Elsinoë and Myriangium spp. but events leading to ascus formation are still poorly documented. Since E. panici Tiffany and Mathre was first described, it has been observed frequently on switchgrass from numerous prairies in Iowa as well as along roadsides. However, it has never been observed on other grasses, including other species of Panicum growing in the same sites. 2 indicating a high degree of host specificity. Elsinoë panici has not been studied since its description. This study was undertaken to learn more of its life history, development, distribution and host-parasite relationship. This information could be significant in light of recent interest in warm season grasses such as switchgrass for summer and fall forage. A study such as this is essential to provide background information for assessing disease losses and selecting plant material in breeding programs. 3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE Taxonomic Considerations Although Miller (1949) and others recognized differences in asci and development of ascocarp centra among groups of Ascomycetes, Luttrell (19553 more clearly made the association of a bitunicate ascus with an ascostromatic type of ascocarp, characterizing the Loculomycetes and separating them from other Ascomycetes which had unitunicate asci and perithecial walls in the ascocarp. Later (1973), he recognized five orders of this bitunicate group: Dothidiales, Hemisphaeriales, Pleosporales, Hysteriales, and Myriangiales. The order Myriangiales, where Elsinoë is located, was characterized as having globose bitunicate asci in uniascal locules within a multiloculate stroma. Four families were recognized, including the Myriangiaceae with the genus Elsinoë. This family was characterized by pseudoparenchymatous

The family Elsinoaceae (type: Elsinoe canavaliae) is described and its separation from Myriangiaceae is supported. Butleria inaghatahani has characters similar to Elsinoaceae where it should remain. Beelia suttoniae appears to be a superficial biotroph on the surface of leaves and thus Beelia should be placed in Chaetothyriaceae and is most similar to Ainsworthia (= Phaeosaccardinula). Apart from the oblong to ovoid sessile asci in Hyalotheles dimerosperma, its placement in Elsinoaceae seems unwarranted, and Hyalotheles should be placed in Dothideomycetes incertae sedis. Saccardinula guaranitica may be better placed in Microthyriaceae or Brefeldiellaceae, because its ascomata greatly resemble thyrothecia found in Microthyriaceae and have similarities with Brefeldiella. Molecular sequence data from fresh collections is required to solve the problem of familial placement.

Subsequently, it was found in the commercial citrus production areas of Texas and California. Border stations began to intercept infected fruit from Texas at the end of 2010; by early 2011 SOS had also been found in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arizona. A federal domestic quarantine order was enacted by USDA to limit the spread of the disease within the United States. During annual citrus commodity surveys in September 2013, CDFA crews from the Pest Detection Emergency Project branch found SOS in commercial groves within the Imperial County desert. The Federal order was amended in 2016 to cover affected California counties. The risk to California from E. australis is described herein and a permanent rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: Two scab diseases on citrus are now common in many humid citrus growing areas worldwide: sour citrus scab, caused by Elsinoë fawcettii, and sweet orange scab (SOS), caused by E. australis. Multiple pathotypes have been identified for both species. Sour citrus scab has already been widely distributed -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ around the world, whereas sweet orange scab was limited mostly to southern South America, until it was detected in Texas.

    Fungal Diversity Anhellia verruco-scopiformans sp. nov. (Myriangiales) associated to scaby brooms of Croton migrans in Brazil Olinto L. Pereira and Robert W. Barreto* Departamento de Fitopatologia, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36571-000, Viçosa MG, Brazil Pereira, O.L. and Barreto, R.W. (2003). Anhellia verruco-scopiformans sp. nov. (Myriangiales) associated to scaby brooms of Croton migrans in Brazil. Fungal Diversity 12: 155-159. The new fungal species of Anhellia, Anhellia verruco-scopiformans associated with scaby brooms of Croton migrans from a montane grassland site in Brazil, is described and illustrated. Key words: Ascomycota, biodiversity, Euphorbiaceae, taxonomy, tropical fungi. Introduction The genus Anhellia (Myriangiales, Ascomycota) was proposed by Raciborski (1900) based on Anhellia tristis Rac. Later, other taxa described in the genera Agostaea, Ramosiella and Whetzeliomyces were transferred to Anhellia (Arx, 1963). Anhellia is a plant parasitic genus often causing leaf spots and scab on stems. It is characterized by its dark ascomata, bearing many-celled ascospores inside bitunicate asci, borne at different levels in a pseudoparenchima connected with the host by an erumpent pulvinate or discoid hypostroma (Arx and Müller, 1975). The genus, comprises seven, mainly tropical, species. Two species, A. lantanae (Henn.) Arx and A. niger (Viégas) Arx were described from Brazil (Viégas, 1945; Arx, 1963). The latter is responsible for a damaging disease of Chromolaena odorata, a very important pantropical weed. Barreto and Evans (1994) regarded this fungus as a having a high potential as a biocontrol agent for this weed. We report herein a previously undescribed species of Anhellia, parasiting leaves and stems of Croton migrans (Euphorbiaceae) collected in the nature reserve of Caraça, Catas Altas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The identities of the pests are well-established and reliable methods exist for their detection/identification. The pests are listed in Annex IIAI of Directive 2000/29/EC as Elsinoe€ spp. and are not known to occur in the EU. Species and hybrids of citrus (Family Rutaceae) are affected by E. fawcettii and E. australis, with the latter having a more restricted host range and geographical distribution compared to the former. The status of Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) as a host of E. australis is uncertain. The pests could potentially enter the EU on host plants for planting and fruit originating in infested Third countries. The current distribution of the pests, climate matching and the use of irrigation in the EU citrus-growing areas suggest that the pests could establish and spread in the EU citrus-growing areas. Uncertainty exists on whether cultural practices and control methods, currently applied in the EU, would prevent the establishment of the pests.

Of these, six strains morphologically resembled the asexual morphs of Aureobasidium 18S and Hormonema (sexual morphs ?Sydowia), but were phylogenetically distinct. A 28S rDNA phylogeny resolved 28S strains as a distinct clade in Dothideales with families Aureobasidiaceae and Dothideaceae their closest relatives. BenA Further analyses based on the ITS rDNA region, β-tubulin, 28S rDNA, and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit black yeast confirmed the distinct status of this clade and divided strains among two consistent subclades. As a result, we Dothidiomycetes introduce a new genus and two new species as Zalaria alba and Z. obscura, and a new family to accommodate them in ITS Dothideales. Zalaria is a black yeast-like fungus, grows restrictedly and produces conidiogenous cells with holoblastic RPB2 synchronous or percurrent conidiation.

The family has not undergone any recent revision, however, molecular data has shown it to be a well-resolved family closely linked to Elsinoaceae in Myriangiales. Both morphological and molecular characters indicate that Elsinoaceae differs from Myriangiaceae. In Elsinoaceae, small numbers of asci form in locules in light coloured pseudostromata, which form typical scab-like blemishes on leaf or fruit surfaces.
