    Persoonia 33, 2014: 61–82 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158514X684212 Stilbosporaceae resurrected: generic reclassification and speciation H. Voglmayr1, W.M. Jaklitsch1 Key words Abstract Following the abolishment of dual nomenclature, Stilbospora is recognised as having priority over Prosthecium. The type species of Stilbospora, S. macrosperma, is the correct name for P. ellipsosporum, the type Alnecium species of Prosthecium. The closely related genus Stegonsporium is maintained as distinct from Stilbospora based Calospora on molecular phylogeny, morphology and host range. Stilbospora longicornuta and S. orientalis are described as Calosporella new species from Carpinus betulus and C. orientalis, respectively. They differ from the closely related Stilbospora ITS macrosperma, which also occurs on Carpinus, by longer, tapering gelatinous ascospore appendages and by dis- LSU tinct LSU, ITS rDNA, rpb2 and tef1 sequences. The asexual morphs of Stilbospora macrosperma, S. longicornuta molecular phylogeny and S. orientalis are morphologically indistinguishable; the connection to their sexual morphs is demonstrated by Phaeodiaporthe morphology and DNA sequences of single spore cultures derived from both ascospores and conidia. Both morphs rpb2 of the three Stilbospora species on Carpinus are described and illustrated. Other species previously recognised in systematics Prosthecium, specifically P. acerophilum, P. galeatum and P. opalus, are determined to belong to and are formally tef1 transferred to Stegonsporium. Isolates previously recognised as Stegonsporium pyriforme (syn. Prosthecium pyri­ forme) are determined to consist of three phylogenetically distinct lineages by rpb2 and tef1 sequence data, two of which are described as new species (S. protopyriforme, S. pseudopyriforme). Stegonsporium pyriforme is lectotypified and this species and Stilbospora macrosperma are epitypified.

  • Distribution and Severity of Alder Phytophthora in Alaska1
    Proceedings of the Sudden Oak Death Fourth Science Symposium Distribution and Severity of Alder 1 Phytophthora in Alaska G.C. Adams,2 M. Catal,2 and L. Trummer3 Abstract In Alaska, an unprecedented dieback and mortality of Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia has occurred which stimulated an effort to determine causal agents of the disease. In Europe, similar dieback and mortality of Alnus incana and Alnus glutinosa has been attributed to root rot by a spectrum of newly emergent strains in the hybrid species Phytophthora alni. The variable hybrids of P. alni were grouped into three subspecies: P. alni ssp. alni (PAA), P. alni ssp. multiformis (PAM), and P. alni ssp. uniformis (PAU). From 2007 to 2008, we conducted a survey of Phytophthora species at 30 locations with stream baiting as used in the 2007 national Phytophthora ramorum Early Detection Survey for Forests in the United States. Additionally, Phytophthora species from saturated rhizosphere soil beneath alder stands were baited in situ using rhododendron leaves. We discovered PAU in rhizosphere soils in 2007 at two sample locations in unmanaged stands hundreds of miles apart, on the Kenai Peninsula and near Denali National Park. PAA was reported to be the most aggressive and pathogenic to alders and PAM and PAU were significantly less aggressive than PAA, though still pathogenic. To ascertain whether PAU was of restricted distribution due to recent introduction, or widespread distribution, we extended the survey in 2008 to 81 locations. Intensive sampling was conducted at five alder stands exhibiting dieback and 10 alder genets per location were excavated to expose nearly the entire root system for evaluation of the severity of root rot, ELISA detection of Phytophthora in diseased roots, and isolation of Phytophthora species.

Richter An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University Program in Ecology in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright by Michelle Heather Hersh 2009 Abstract Fungal pathogens likely play an important role in regulating populations of tree seedlings and preserving forest diversity, due to their ubiquitous presence and differential effects on survival. Host-specific mortality from natural enemies is one of the most widely tested hypotheses in community ecology to explain the high biodiversity of forests. The effects of fungal pathogens on seedling survival are usually discussed under the framework of the Janzen-Connell (JC) hypothesis, which posits that seedlings are more likely to survive when dispersed far from the parent tree or at low densities due to pressure from host-specific pathogens (Janzen 1970, Connell 1971).

Two fresh specimens associated with canker and dieback of Betula platyphylla were made in Beijing, China in 2015. Morphological and multi-gene, combined, phylogenetic analyses (ITS, tef1-α and β-tub) support these speciemens as a distinct and new species of Cryptosporella, from a unique host, Betula platyphylla. Cryptosporella platyphylla sp. nov. is introduced with an illustrated account and differs from similar species in its host as- sociation and multigene phylogeny. Key words: Diaporthales, Disculina, Gnomoniaceae, systematics, taxonomy Introduction Cryptosporella was introduced by Saccardo (1877) and was distinguished from Cryptospora based on the morphology of the ascospores. The genus subsequently entered a long period of confusion with the gnomoniaceous genera Ophiovalsa Petr. and Winterella (Sacc.) O.

  • Anthracnose Common Foliage Disease of Deciduous Trees
    Anthracnose Common foliage disease of deciduous trees Pathogen—Anthracnose diseases are caused by a group of morphologically similar fungi that produce cushion-shaped fruiting structures called acervuli (fig. 1). Many of the fungi that cause anthracnose diseases are known for their asexual stage (conidial), but most also have sexual stages. Taxonomy is con- tinually being updated, so scientific names can be confusing. A list of common anthracnose diseases in the Rocky Mountain Region and their hosts is provided in table 1. Hosts—A variety of deciduous trees are susceptible to anthracnose diseases, including ash, basswood, elm, maple, oak, sycamore, and walnut. These diseases are common on shade trees. Marssonina blight of aspen (see the Marssonina Leaf Blight entry in this guide for more information) is an anthracnose-type disease. The fungi that cause anthracnose diseases are host-specific such that one particular fungus can generally only parasitize one host genus. For example, Apiognomonia errabunda causes anthracnose only on species of ash, and A. quercina causes anthracnose only on oaks. Figure 1.

Characterization of the strawberry pathogen Gnomonia fragariae , and biocontrol possibilities. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7120-6 The strawberry root rot complex or black root rot is common and increasing problem in perennial strawberry plantings worldwide. In many cases the causes of root rot are not detected or it is referred to several pathogens. During the survey on strawberry decline in Latvia and Sweden the root rot complex was found to be the major problem in the surveyed fields. Isolations from diseased plants showed that several pathogens such as Cylindrocarpon spp., Fusarium spp., Phoma spp., Rhizoctonia spp. and Pythium spp. were involved. Among these well known pathogenic fungi a poorly studied ascomycetous fungus, Gnomonia fragariae , was repeatedly found in association with severely diseased plants. An overall aim of the work described in this thesis was then to characterize G. fragariae as a possible pathogen involved in the root rot complex of strawberry, and to investigate biological control possibilities of the disease caaused. In several pathogenicity tests on strawberry plants G. fragariae was proved to be an aggressive pathogen on strawberry plants. The pathogenicity of G. fragariae has been evidently demonstrated for the first time, and the disease it causes was named as strawberry root rot and petiole blight.
