Even though Stemphylium botryosum is suspected to be the pathogen causing stemphylium blight in lentil around the world, there is no confirmation of the pathogenic species involved in stemphylium blight of lentil in Saskatchewan. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect on lentil seed quantity and quality of S. botryosum infection at the seedling, the early- flowering, the mid-flowering or the podding stages, and to characterize the pathogen or pathogens causing stemphylium blight in Saskatchewan lentil fields. Three field experiments were conducted over two years using green polyethylene low tunnels to create conducive environments and control the timing of infection. Cumulative disease severity, measured as area under the disease progress curve, in lentil treatments inoculated at the seedling stage was higher compared to treatments inoculated at later growth stages or to uninoculated control treatments, in which some stemphylium blight developed due to natural inoculum. Neither the amount of harvested seed, nor seed weight or seed size were reduced compared to the uninoculated control, even though disease severity was higher in inoculated versus uninoculated treatments. Seed infection levels of 2.6 to 3.4% in seed harvested from treatments that were inoculated at the seedling, early and mid-flower stages were significantly higher than those observed in seeds from uninoculated control treatments (0.6%) or from treatments inoculated at podding (1.2%). Field isolates of Stemphylium spp. were compared to the ex-type isolate by morphology, and additionally to sequence data of five Stemphylium spp. and one Alternaria sp. obtained from GenBank by molecular phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribe spacer (ITS) and the glyceraldehyde 3 – phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) gene regions. Morphology of colony and conidia were not informative since features overlapped except for three isolates. Results of the molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that S. botryosum is one of two possible Stemphylium spp. involved in the development of stemphylium blight in lentil. The three isolates with different morphology were also consistently clustered as a species distinct from the Stemphylium species. Although yield loss could not be demonstrated here, further studies on the epidemiology of the pathogens causing stemphylium blight in Saskatchewan lentil fields are warranted in view of the fact that more than one candidate species was identified as the causal agent. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Sabine Banniza for her guidance and support, for sharing her knowledge and for her immense patience during this research.

Mycosphere 10(1), 757–775, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/17 Abstract A new hyphomycete genus, Pleopunctum, is introduced to accommodate two new species, P. ellipsoideum sp. nov. (type species) and P. pseudoellipsoideum sp. nov., collected from decaying wood in Guizhou Province, China. The genus is characterized by macronematous, mononematous conidiophores, monoblastic conidiogenous cells and muriform, oval to ellipsoidal conidia often with a hyaline, elliptical to globose basal cell. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, ITS and TEF1α sequence data of 55 taxa were carried out to infer their phylogenetic relationships. The new taxa formed a well-supported subclade in the family Phaeoseptaceae and basal to Lignosphaeria and Thyridaria macrostomoides.

Six BCAs based on different strains of Trichoderma spp. (Tr1, Tr2) and Bacillus subtilis (Bs1, Bs2, Bs3 and Bs4) were evaluated. Two strategies were tested in controlled experiments: application before (preventative strategy) or after (curative strategy) pear leaf debris colonization by S. vesicarium, evaluating the growth inhibition and sporulation of S. vesicarium and the pseudothecia production of P. allii. When the BCAs were applied preventatively, the efficacy of treatments based on B. subtilis was higher than those based on Trichoderma spp. in controlling the pathogen colonization, but that of controlling the inoculum Citation: Moragrega, C.; production of S. vesicarium and P. allii was similar. However, when the BCAs were applied curatively, Carmona, A.; Llorente, I. Biocontrol Trichoderma based products were more effective. In field trials, Trichoderma spp. Tr1 and B. subtlilis of Stemphylium vesicarium and Bs1 produced a consistent 45–50% decrease in the number of S. vesicarium conidia trapped compared Pleospora allii on Pear by Bacillus to the non-treated control.

    Extension Plant Pathology Update July 2013 Volume 1, Number 6 Edited by Jean Williams-Woodward Plant Disease Clinic Report for June 2013 By Ansuya Jogi and Jean Williams-Woodward The following tables consist of the commercial and homeowner samples submitted to the UGA plant disease clinics in Athens and Tifton for June 2013 (Table 1) and for one year ago in July 2012 (Table 2). The wet weather has been great for plant growth, as well as plant diseases. Various root rots, leaf spots and rusts have been diagnosed on almost all crops. The incidence of bacterial diseases will increase through July, as will Sclerotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia diseases. We also continue to confirm Rose Rosette-associated virus on Knock-Out rose samples. Also, Dr. Little has confirmed Cucurbit Yellow Vine Disease on squash, caused by the bacterium, Serratia marcescens. She has a graduate student working on this disease and wants to know if you are seeing it. See page 7 for her summary of cucurbit diseases, including cucurbit yellow vine disease. Looking ahead with the current weather pattern, we expect to see more leaf and root diseases on all crops. This isn’t a surprise. Warm days, cooler nights, high humidity, wet foliage and saturated soils are the recipe for plant disease development. Again, it is an exciting time to be a plant pathologist.

Invasive plants may benefit from reduced pathogen impact when competing with native plants, but suffer if mutualists are unavailable. Root samples of the invasive dune grass Ammophila arenaria and the native dune grass Leymus mollis were collected from a Californian foredune. We utilised the Illumina MiSeq platform to sequence the ITS and LSU gene regions, with the SSU region used to target arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The two plant species largely share a fungal community, which is dominated by widespread generalists.
