Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora anemones. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Anemone coronaria, A. globosa. DISEASE: Downy mildew of anemones. Infected leaves lose their natural bloom, appearing dull green, almost grey in colour and are often down curled giving the plant a rounded appearance. As the disease progresses, leaf colour may change to shades of pink or purple with necrotic areas appearing on the older leaves. Invasion by secondary organisms (e.g. Botrytis cinerea) is common, especially after frost or storm injury, and this accelerates plant death. In favourable conditions conidiophores develop forming a whitish-grey down on the lower leaf surface, on the bracts and, less frequently, on the petioles. It is not uncommon for affected plants to show little or no sporulation and in these cases the presence of extensive intercellular mycelium and, later in the season, oospores in petioles and peduncles helps diagnosis. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australasia (New Zealand); Europe (England, Jersey, France, Italy, Netherlands). TRANSMISSION: Primary infection is caused by oospores in plant debris in the soil. Tramier (1963) was unable to germinate oospores and thus work out precise details of the conditions affecting their germination but he showed evidence that regular and prolonged rain encouraged germination. Conidia, which cause secondary infections, are dispersed by rain and during harvesting of the flowers. Wind is thought to be unimportant in their dissemination as shown by glass slides covered with vaseline and placed near an infected crop (Tramier, 1965).

Abstract A description is provided for Basidiophora entospora. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Aster chilensis, A. cordifolius, A. douglasii, A. novae-angliae, A. novi-belgii, A. oblongifolius, A. puniceus, A. sagittifolius, Callistephus chinensis, Conyza bonariensis, C. canadensis, Erigeron philadelphicus, Felicia bergeriana, Rudbeckia speciosa, Solidago rigida. DISEASE: Downy mildew of asters. Seedlings in flats and plants in the open may be attacked. On Aster novae-angliae the fungus tends to infect along the midrib and the adjacent lamina becomes yellow and finaly brown. All lower leaves on these plants may die. The sporangiophores develop on the undersurface of these leaves and form a sparse white covering. The degree and type of infection differs with the host plant and on a variety of Aster novi-belgii the disease symptoms were recorded as lesions which spread diffusely over the leaf surface and showed very little necrosis (24, 5). Laboratory inoculations with spores of B. entospora showed it to be very pathogenic on leaves and stems of King asters (Callistephus chinensis) while flowers were not infected. The foliage of Chrysanthemum morifolium 'White Iceberg' was not susceptible to B. entospora (48, 328). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (Iraq); Australasia (New Zealand); Europe (Britain, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania); N. America (Canada, USA); S. America (Ecuador). TRANSMISSION: No reports, but presumably by resting spores, which are formed freely in infected leaves, being carried in plant debris to the soil. In Canada the pathogen is found on the wild Aster cordifolius which may act as a reservoir of infection.

Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora manshurica. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: soyabean (Glycine max). DISEASE: Downy mildew of soyabean. Small discrete pale to bright yellow spots (2-8 mm diam.) are formed on the upper leaf surface. The size of the spots varies both with the severity of the attack and with the race of pathogen involved (33, 525). In a heavy infection the whole leaf area is affected and shrivels and dies. The conidiophores form a greyish-purple down on the lower leaf surface beneath these spots. Pods can become infected, without showing external symptoms, and the seeds invaded. Oospores develop on the seed surface and appear as a milky white crust consisting of a mass of the hyaline spherical resting spores. Plants developing from oospore encrusted seed may be systemically infected, remain small and stunted and die early. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: CMI Map No. 268, ed. 3, 1979. Latvia (Serzane, 1962), Ryukyu Islands (Nuttonson, 1952) and Sweden (Gustavsson, 1959) should be added. TRANSMISSION: Usually by seed infected with oospores which form a crust on the seed coat or, very rarely, on the cotyledons. The pathogen can also be spread by oospores remaining on plant debris in the soil. Systemically infected plants develop and the conidia which form on their leaves initiate infection in the surrounding crop. Method of detecting oospores on soyabean seed are described by Pathak et al. (57, 5214). Their studies also indicate that oospores on the seed may remain viable foe to 8 years.

Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora jaapiana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Rheum officinale, R. palmatum, R. rhaponticum, R. undulatum. DISEASE: Downy mildew of rhubarb. Seedlings in cold frames and plants in the field may be attacked and heavy losses caused in cold, wet seasons. The fungus causes a severe spotting and eventual destruction of the leaves. Plants may be almost completely defoliated. The earliest symptoms are conspicuous yellowish spots of 1 cm or more diameter which appear on the upper leaf surface. These areas are at first delimited by the veins but in severe attacks they soon spread causing the veins to break and the leaves then fall to pieces. With age the leaf spots become dry and brown and very brittle. The condiophores which may be seen on the under surface of the leaves beneath the yellow spots in the earlier phases of the disease were sparingly produced in the material seen (IMI 251354) and resembled the downy mildew of rose, Peronospora sparsa, in this respect. They are reported as forming a grey to fawn downy growth in Australia when conditions are moist. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (USSR (Estonia, Latvia)); Australasia (Australia, New Zealand); Europe (Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Switzerland); N. America (Canada, USA). TRANSMISSION: No oospores have been reported for this species and the pathogen is said to perennate as mycelium in the young shoots of propagating roots (Chupp & Sherf, 1960). The hyphae of P. jaapiana contain unusually large amounts of glycogen which enables them to overwinter in decaying leaf material on the ground (Magnus, 1910).

Abstract A description is provided for Pseudoperonospora humuli. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Humulus lupulus. DISEASE: Downy mildew of hops. The first sign of infection, seen early in the year, is the development of spindly, stunted, shoots with pale, crowded and down-curled, leaves. These are known as 'primary basal spikes' and are shoots with a systemic infection developed from mycelium which has overwintered in the rootstock. The undersurfaces of the leaves of these shoots bear large crops of sporangia which in moist and humid conditions can soon spread the disease in the growing crop. Secondary infections may occur on leaves, growing tips, flowers and cones. On the leaves they are seen either as small discrete spots or larger, more angular, brown areas. The diseased shoots arising from secondary infections and depending upon the position of the infected bud are known as 'terminal' or 'lateral' spikes. They resemble basal spikes in appearance. Infection of the flowers can inhibit cone production. If cones do develop, and become infected, the brown spots and lesions of the fungus can make them unsaleable. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: CMI Map No. 14, ed. 4, 1976, with the addition of Belorussia, Estonia, India, Kinghizia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Ukraine and Uzebekistan. TRANSMISSION: Ware (1926) demonstrated the presence of mycelium in diseased rootstocks but its significance in the overwintering of the pathogen was not fully recognized until Coley Smith (1962) showed that the primary basal spikes which develop in spring originate from infected buds on the rootstocks. Oospores, which are often produced in abundance, were at one time thought to be responsible for infection of the shoots in spring but there is no convincing evidence to support this theory.
