First Report of Powdery Mildew on Cornus florida in Connecticut Caused by Microsphaera pulchra

first report of powdery mildew of rosa persica caused by leveillula taurica from iran

during the study of powdery mildew related to erysiphaceae family from abardeh region in mashhad (khorasan-e-razavi province), one species of rose (rosa persica michx.ex juss, summer 2006) with symptoms of powdery mildew was collected. the symptoms observed with the naked eye including the dense cottony shape mycelia infected the leaf surfaces as well as some parts of the stem. mycelia were den...

Spore Germination, Infection Structure Formation, and Colony Development of Erysiphe pulchra on Dogwood Leaves and Glass Slides

Flowering dogwood (Cornus florida L.) is used as an important ornamental tree in North America, Japan, and Europe. Since 1995, epidemics of powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe pulchra (Cooke and Peck) U. Braun & S. Takamatsu (syn. Microsphaera pulchra Cooke and Peck) have impeded production of flowering dogwood throughout much of the eastern United States. The fungus is an obligate parasite and g...

Genetics of resistance to powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa) in Brazilian soybean populations

Crosses between resistant and susceptible soybean cultivars were performed and the F2 populations were obtained to study the inheritance of soybean resistance to powdery mildew and to estimate the number and action of genes related to resistance. The reaction to powdery mildew was studied in a greenhouse and pots carrying plants with symptoms were distributed among the pots carrying the genotyp...

PCR-based identification of Erysiphe pulchra and Phyllactinia guttata from Cornus florida using ITS-specific primers

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA and the intervening 5.8S rRNA gene for the powdery mildew fungi Erysiphe (sect. Microsphaera) pulchra and Phyllactinia guttata were amplified using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols and the universal primer pairs, ITS1 and ITS4. PCR products for ITS were analysed by electrophoresis in a 1.5% agarose gel and sequenced. The si...
