New Powdery Mildew on Tomatoes
NEW POWDERY MILDEW ON TOMATOES Heather Scheck, Plant Pathologist Ag Commissioner’s Office, Santa Barbara County POWDERY MILDEW BIOLOGY Powdery mildew fungi are obligate, biotrophic parasites of the phylum Ascomycota of the Kingdom Fungi. The diseases they cause are common, widespread, and easily recognizable Individual species of powdery mildew fungi typically have a narrow host range, but the ones that infect Tomato are exceptionally large. Photo from APS Net POWDERY MILDEW BIOLOGY Unlike most fungal pathogens, powdery mildew fungi tend to grow superficially, or epiphytically, on plant surfaces. During the growing season, hyphae and spores are produced in large colonies that can coalesce Infections can also occur on stems, flowers, or fruit (but not tomato fruit) Our climate allows easy overwintering of inoculum and perfect summer temperatures for epidemics POWDERY MILDEW BIOLOGY Specialized absorption cells, termed haustoria, extend into the plant epidermal cells to obtain nutrition. Powdery mildew fungi can completely cover the exterior of the plant surfaces (leaves, stems, fruit) POWDERY MILDEW BIOLOGY Conidia (asexual spores) are also produced on plant surfaces during the growing season. The conidia develop either singly or in chains on specialized hyphae called conidiophores. Conidiophores arise from the epiphytic hyphae. This is the Anamorph. Courtesy J. Schlesselman POWDERY MILDEW BIOLOGY Some powdery mildew fungi produce sexual spores, known as ascospores, in a sac-like ascus, enclosed in a fruiting body called a chasmothecium (old name cleistothecium). This is the Teleomorph Chasmothecia are generally spherical with no natural opening; asci with ascospores are released when a crack develops in the wall of the fruiting body. -

Erysiphe salmonii (Erysiphales, Ascomycota), another East Asian powdery mildew fungus introduced to Ukraine. Ukr. Bot. J., 2017, 74(3): 212–219. Abstract. In 2015, a powdery mildew caused by a fungus belonging to Erysiphe sect. Uncinula was recorded on two species of ash, Fraxinus excelsior and F. pennsylvanica (Oleaceae), from Ukraine (Kyiv, two localities). Based on the comparative morphological analysis of Ukrainian specimens with samples of Erysiphe fraxinicola and E. salmonii collected in Japan and the Far East of Russia, the fungus was identified as E. salmonii. This identification was confirmed using molecular phylogenetic analysis. This is the first report of E. salmonii not only in Ukraine but also in Europe. It is suggested that the records of E. fraxinicola from Belarus and Russia could have been misidentified and should be corrected to E. salmonii. In 2016, the fungus was found not only in Kyiv but also outside the city. The development of the fungus had symptoms of a potential epiphytotic disease. Thus, it may become invasive in Ukraine and spread to Western Europe in the near future. -

E. Bendek, P. A. Campbell, R. Torres, A. Donoso and B. A. Latorre* Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal. Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Casilla 306. Santiago. Chile Abstract Powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) is a major disease of grapevines (Vitis vinifera) in Chile. Severe outbreaks have occurred recently despite the use of strict fungicide programs to control it. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the infection risk assessment index (RAI), to predict conditions for E. necator infection, and to study the effect of temperature (T), relative humidity (RH) and free moisture (FM) on conidial germination and disease development. Conidial germination was affected by T, RH, and FM. There were significant (p < 0.001) interactions between E. necator isolates and T and between isolates and RH. Conidial germination was optimal at 25°C. There was no germination at 5°C and 35°C. At 20°C, conidia germinated at a low RH (33-35%). Germination increased at a RH between 47 and 90% but decreased at higher RHs. Powdery mildew development on Carmenere, Chardonnay, and Merlot vines increased linearly from 6°C to 23°C. These grape cultivars were all equally susceptible to E. necator. Incubation periods varied. It was 13 to 14 d at 20°C or 23°C, 19 to 24 d at 10°C, and more than 23 d at 6°C. -

Accepted: July 19, 2010) ABSTRACT The studies refer to the phenomenon of hyperparasitism in the municipal environment. The paper presents the occurrence of fungi of the genus Ampelomyces on Erysiphales – important group of phytopathogenic fungi. For the first time in Poland analyzed degree of infestation of Erysiphales mycelium by Ampelomyces and effect of the hyperparsites on the degree of infestation plants by Erysiphales . The high participation of the Ampelomyces was noted in each year of the study. Substantial differences were noted in the occurrence of Ampelomyces depending on the developmental stage of the host fungi and considerable differences in the prevalence of the hyperparasites on particular Erysiphales species. In all cases examined , the mean index of infestation of host plants by Erysiphales was higher than the mean degree of infestation of powdery mildew mycelium by Ampelomyces . The results indicate that under natural conditions they do not play any significant role in the reduction of the degree of infestation of host plants by Erysiphales and do not disturb drastically their life cycle.

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 -

Notes on the Powdery Mildews of Ohio
NOTES ON THE POWDERY MILDEWS OF OHIO. BRUCE FINK, Miami University. My interest in the powdery mildews dates from 1884, when I was a student of the first class-room teacher of mycology, the late Dr. T. J. Burrill, of the University of Illinois. My first publication on fungi dealt with this group, and my interest has never abated. My collecting in Ohio began shortly after entering the State in the summer of 1906, and two of my students, Mr. E. E. Duncan and Miss Esther Young, have spent a considerable amount of time in studying the group in my laboratory. Miss Freda M. Bachman and Mr. W. G. Stover have also aided considerably with the, collecting and determinations. Mr. A. D. Selby published "The Ohio Erysipheas" in a Bulletin of the Ohio Agricultural Experimental Station for 1893, and Mr. W. C. O'Kane published "The Ohio Powdery Mildews" in THE OHIO NATURALIST for May, 1910. The last paper follows the nomenclature of E. S. Salmon and furnishes keys and short diagnoses. This publication will still be found useful in studying the powdery mildews of Ohio, and I only hope, in the present paper, to supplement it by additions of localities, hosts, and species not previously reported from Ohio. The mycelia of powdery mildews usually occur on the leaves or the small stems or twigs of seed plants, and these fungi are easily collected by those who are accustomed to observe small fungi, provided that the mycelia are fairly con- spicuous. In summer and autumn, these parasites may be observed on the leaves of goldenrods, asters, sunflowers, yard grass, ragweeds, verbenas, roses, willows, oaks, lilacs, and other herbs, shrubs, and trees. -
