Conidial germination of Botryosphaeria dothidea Mough.: Fr (Ces. & De Not.) and histological alterations on stems of pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus H.) (Haworth) Britton & Rose

Conidial germination of Botryosphaeria dothidea (anamorph: Fusicoccum) in sterile distilled water and 1% sterile dextrose solution was evaluated at 4, 6, 12, 24 and 36 h after incubation. Also, it was described the anatomical changes on pitahaya stems induced by this fungus, collected in the field and artificially inoculated in the laboratory. Conidial germination was less than 30% in water and it was improved when 1% dextrose was added to the water. In 1% dextrose solution the germination was 90% after 4h of incubation and 100% at 6 h. Pathogen germ tubes had entered through wounds and sometimes through stomata and hyphae colonized intra and intercellularly in the parenchyma-chlorenchyma tissues. On naturally and artificially diseased stems the main alterations were: destruction of cuticle, hyperplasia of epidermal and collenchymatous hypodermal cells and conform the advance of the pathogen a layer of lignified periderm was formed surrounding the damaged tissues; however, it couldn't stop the advance of the pathogen and the cells that surrounded the lesion suffered necrosis.

Fungi associated with Asphondylia (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae) galls on Sarcocornia quinqueflora and Tecticornia arbuscula (Chenopodiaceae)

Galls induced by the gall-forming midges Asphondylia floriformis and A. sarcocorniae on Sarcocornia quinqueflora, and A. tecticorniae and A. peelei on Tecticornia arbuscula, were collected from two sites nearMelbourne, Victoria. Microfungi belonging to a broad range of families were found to be associated with external surfaces of galls and Journal Articles of Sarcocornia quinqueflora. However, only Botryosphaeria dothidea was isolated from the fungal mycelium lining gall-midge larval chambers of all four Asphondylia species, on both host plants

Suscetibilidade de três espécies cítricas à Dothiorella gregaria Sacc. em função do estado nutricional

O comportamento da tangerineira Ponkan, da tangoreira Murcot e da laranjeira Valência inoculadas artificialmente com dois isolados de Dothiorella gregaria foi avaliado sob diferentes épocas do ano, estados nutricionais e fenológicos. No período compreendido entre os meses de novembro a dezembro, em fase posterior à colheita dos frutos, as plantas mostraram-se mais afetadas pelos isolados do fungo. Ponkan mostrou-se mais afetada, seguida por Murcot e Valência, observando-se a mesma suscetibilidade das espécies nos diferentes períodos, porém com maior severidade da doença sob condições de elevada precipitação e umidade relativa. As plantas que apresentaram menores teores de Ca e Zn atingiram maiores índices de lesão, ocasião em que se encontravam em fase posterior à colheita. Os resultados indicam o efeito da época de inoculação na severidade da gomose causada por D. gregaria e confirmam a predisposição de plantas mais debilitadas nutricionalmente.

Endophytic yeasts and filamentous fungi associated with southern Brazilian apple (Malus domestica) orchards subjected to conventional, integrated or organic cultivation

Endophytic fungi were isolated from leaves, flowers and fruit of healthy apple trees (Malus domestica, BORKH.) growing in southern Brazilian orchards under three different cultivation systems (conventional, integrated and organic), during two vegetative cycles. The greatest total number of endophytic isolates was obtained from the orchards under organic cultivation when compared to integrated and conventional cultivation systems. Filamentous fungi from the genera Colletotrichum, Xylaria and Botryosphaeria were the most frequent ones and the most representative yeast genera were Sporobolomyces, Rhodotorula, Debaryomyces and Cryptococcus. It is suggested that some isolates may be used as indicators of the different management systems. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

First report of Tubercularia lateritia as the causal agent of canker on macadamia

Tubercularia lateritia was recorded for the first time as causing canker, characterised by a sunken centre surrounded by galls or callus, on macadamia. The fungus was isolated and inoculated on young macadamia trees in the glasshouse and produced characteristic disease symptoms from which the fungus was successfully reisolated.
