Abstracts of Oral and Poster Presentations Given at the 10Th International Workshop on Grapevine Trunk Diseases, Reims, France, 4–7 July 2017 Phytopathologia Mediterranea (2017) DOI: 10.14601/Phytopathol_Mediterr-21865 ABSTRACTS Abstracts of oral and poster presentations given at the 10th International Workshop on Grapevine Trunk Diseases, Reims, France, 4–7 July 2017 The 10th International Workshop on Grapevine Trunk diseases was held in Reims, France, on July 4–7 2017. This workshop was co-organized with the COST Action FA1303 entitled “Sustainable control of grape- vine trunk diseases” and supported by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV). The meeting was attended by 240 participants from 29 countries and 155 papers were presented either as oral (63) or poster (92) presentations in four sessions: Pathogen characterization, Detection and epidemiology, Micro- bial ecology, Host-pathogen and fungus-fungus competitive interactions and Disease management. A field tour in the champagne vineyard was co-organized by the Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC). Delegates were presented with an overview of the Champagne region focussing on “terroir”, varietal crea- tion and grapevine diseases, especially GTDs. The tour concluded with a visit to Mercier cellar with cham- pagne tasting. The workshop is the 10th organized by the International Council on Grapevine Trunk Diseases (www. icgtd.org) and the 2nd one organised by the members of the COST Action FA1303 (www.managtd.eu).

    Etiology, Epidemiology and Management of Fruit Rot of Deciduous Holly in U.S. Nursery Production Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shan Lin Graduate Program in Plant Pathology The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Dr. Francesca Peduto Hand, Advisor Dr. Anne E. Dorrance Dr. Laurence V. Madden Dr. Sally A. Miller 1 Copyrighted by Shan Lin 2018 2 Abstract Cut branches of deciduous holly (Ilex spp.) carrying shiny and colorful fruit are popularly used for holiday decorations in the United States. Since 2012, an emerging disease causing the fruit to rot was observed across Midwestern and Eastern U.S. nurseries. A variety of other symptoms were associated with the disease, including undersized, shriveled, and dull fruit, as well as leaf spots and early plant defoliation. The disease causal agents were identified by laboratory processing of symptomatic fruit collected from nine locations across four states over five years by means of morphological characterization, multi-locus phylogenetic analyses and pathogenicity assays. Alternaria alternata and a newly described species, Diaporthe ilicicola sp. nov., were identified as the primary pathogens associated with the disease, and A. arborescens, Colletotrichum fioriniae, C. nymphaeae, Epicoccum nigrum and species in the D. eres species complex were identified as minor pathogens in this disease complex. To determine the sources of pathogen inoculum in holly fields, and the growth stages of host susceptibility to fungal infections, we monitored the presence of these pathogens in different plant tissues (i.e., dormant twigs, mummified fruit, leaves and fruit), and we studied inoculum dynamics and assessed disease progression throughout the growing season in three Ohio nurseries exposed to natural inoculum over two consecutive years.

Mostert1, P.W. Crous1,2, P.H. Fourie1,3 Key words Abstract The genus Phaeoacremonium is associated with opportunistic human infections, as well as stunted growth and die-back of various woody hosts, especially grapevines. In this study, Phaeoacremonium species were Diaporthales isolated from necrotic woody tissue of Prunus spp. (plum, peach, nectarine and apricot) from different stone fruit molecular systematics growing areas in South Africa. Morphological and cultural characteristics as well as DNA sequence data (5.8S pathogenicity rDNA, ITS1, ITS2, -tubulin, actin and 18S rDNA) were used to identify known, and describe novel species. From Togninia β the total number of wood samples collected (257), 42 Phaeoacremonium isolates were obtained, from which 14 Togniniaceae species were identified. Phaeoacremonium scolyti was most frequently isolated, and present on all Prunus species sampled, followed by Togninia minima (anamorph: Pm. aleophilum) and Pm. australiense. Almost all taxa isolated represent new records on Prunus. Furthermore, Pm. australiense, Pm. iranianum, T. fraxinopennsylvanica and Pm. griseorubrum represent new records for South Africa, while Pm. griseorubrum, hitherto only known from humans, is newly reported from a plant host. Five species are newly described, two of which produce a Togninia sexual state. Togninia africana, T. griseo-olivacea and Pm. pallidum are newly described from Prunus armeniaca, while Pm. prunicolum and Pm. fuscum are described from Prunus salicina.

Summerbell1, Walter Gams1 and Pedro W. Crous1 1Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, P.O. Box 85167, 3508 AD Utrecht, The Netherlands; 2Current address: Department of Plant Pathology, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, Stellenbosch 7602, South Africa *Correspondence: Lizel Mostert, [email protected] Abstract: The genus Togninia (Diaporthales, Togniniaceae) is here monographed along with its Phaeoacremonium (Pm.) anamorphs. Ten species of Togninia and 22 species of Phaeoacremonium are treated. Several new species of Togninia (T.) are described, namely T. argentinensis (anamorph Pm. argentinense), T. austroafricana (anamorph Pm. austroafricanum), T. krajdenii, T. parasitica, T. rubrigena and T. viticola. New species of Phaeoacremonium include Pm. novae-zealandiae (teleomorph T. novae-zealandiae), Pm. iranianum, Pm. sphinctrophorum and Pm. theobromatis. Species can be identified based on their cultural and morphological characters, supported by DNA data derived from partial sequences of the actin and β-tubulin genes. Phylogenies of the SSU and LSU rRNA genes were used to determine whether Togninia has more affinity with the Calosphaeriales or the Diaporthales. The results confirmed that Togninia had a higher affinity to the Diaporthales than the Calosphaeriales. Examination of type specimens revealed that T. cornicola, T. vasculosa, T. rhododendri, T. minima var. timidula and T. villosa, were not members of Togninia. The new combinations Calosphaeria cornicola, Calosphaeria rhododendri, Calosphaeria transversa, Calosphaeria tumidula, Calosphaeria vasculosa and Jattaea villosa are proposed. Species of Phaeoacremonium are known vascular plant pathogens causing wilting and dieback of woody plants.

Neonectria has been divided into informal groups on the basis of combined morphology of anamorph and teleomorph. Previously, Cylindrocarpon was divided into four groups defined by presence or absence of microconidia and chlamydospores. Molecular phylogenetic analyses have indicated that Neonectria sensu stricto and Cylindrocarpon sensu stricto are phylogenetically congeneric. In addition, morphological and molecular data accumulated over several years have indicated that Neonectria sensu lato and Cylindrocarpon sensu lato do not form a monophyletic group and that the respective informal groups may represent distinct genera. In the present work, a multilocus analysis (act, ITS, LSU, rpb1, tef1, tub) was applied to representatives of the informal groups to determine their level of phylogenetic support as a first step towards taxonomic revision of Neonectria sensu lato. Results show five distinct highly supported clades that correspond to some extent with the informal Neonectria and Cylindrocarpon groups that are here recognised as genera: (1) N.

Réblová1* and K.A. Seifert2 1Department of Taxonomy, Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences, CZ – 252 43, Průhonice, Czech Republic; 2Biodiversity (Mycology and Botany), Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0C6, Canada *Correspondence: Martina Réblová, [email protected] Abstract: Sterigmatobotrys macrocarpa is a conspicuous, lignicolous, dematiaceous hyphomycete with macronematous, penicillate conidiophores with branches or metulae arising from the apex of the stipe, terminating with cylindrical, elongated conidiogenous cells producing conidia in a holoblastic manner. The discovery of its teleomorph is documented here based on perithecial ascomata associated with fertile conidiophores of S. macrocarpa on a specimen collected in the Czech Republic; an identical anamorph developed from ascospores isolated in axenic culture. The teleomorph is morphologically similar to species of the genera Carpoligna and Chaetosphaeria, especially in its nonstromatic perithecia, hyaline, cylindrical to fusiform ascospores, unitunicate asci with a distinct apical annulus, and tapering paraphyses. Identical perithecia were later observed on a herbarium specimen of S. macrocarpa originating in New Zealand. Sterigmatobotrys includes two species, S. macrocarpa, a taxonomic synonym of the type species, S. elata, and S. uniseptata. Because no teleomorph was described in the protologue of Sterigmatobotrys, we apply Article 59.7 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. We epitypify (teleotypify) both Sterigmatobotrys elata and S. macrocarpa to give the genus holomorphic status, and the name S.
