Alternaria Linicola

Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria linicola. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Linum usitatissimum, L. grandiflorum. DISEASE: Damping off of flax seedlings. Seedlings develop a moist rot as a result of infection from the seed coat. The fungus starts by infecting the sepals and petals and is transferred to seed from the moribund flower parts. It may inhibit germination or retard debilitated seedlings. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Kenya, Tanzania. Europe: Denmark, France. UK. North America: Canada. TRANSMISSION: It is essentially a seedborne disease, but infection of the flowers must be due to airborne conidia.

Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria zinniae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Ageratum, Aster, Bidens, Calendula, Callistephus, Chrysanthemum, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Dahlia, Gaillardia, Galinsoga, Gerbera, Helianthus, Notonia, Parthenium, Sphaeranthus indicus, Tagetes, Tithonia, Volutarella, Xanthium, Zinnia. Also recorded are a number of non-compositae hosts such as bean (50, 3295), rape (43, 1212b), Clarkia, Hibiscus esculentus (66. 4729), pawpaws (66. 4729) and seeds of tobacco (64, 1748) but these reports should be regarded with some doubt. Simmons (1982) also reports other hosts like Gentiana, Papaver and Reseda. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Zinnia. The fungus attacks the leaves, stems of its host and can cause damping-off of seedlings where both the root and the stems of the plant may be affected. In older plants the fungus attacks the older leaves and then spreads to the younger leaves, and when the attack is severe the spots may become confluent. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mauritius, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Asia: Brunei, China (Liaoning). India, Indonesia (Borneo), Korea, Nepal, Pakistan. Australasia & Oceania: Australia. Europe: Cyprus. Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, The Netherlands. Central & North America: Bermuda, Canada, Jamaica, USA (Hawaii, Illinois, South Dakota). TRANSMISSION: On seeds by wind dispersal of airborne conidia.

Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Cucumis melo. DISEASE: Causes a destructive wilt of muskmelon and cantaloupe. The casaba or winter melon is resistant (e.g. var. Honey Dew). Infection occurs on seedlings (pre-emergence and post-emergence damping-off) and older plants (leaf chlorosis, stunting and generai wilt). Streaks appear on the stems up to 0.6 m long; they become necrotic and bear the salmon-pink sporulating masses. In some cases stem cracks develop and a brownish exudate forms. The vascular elements become orange-red and the fruit is much reduced in size. The formae speciales of F. oxysporum from muskmelon and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) will each attack the seedlings of both hosts, but older plants are susceptible only to their own f.sp. Generally the virulence of a given isolate is greater on its original host (12: 744; 27: 307; 31: 473; Leach, 1936). Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and marrow (Cucurbita pepo) are resistant (39: 117). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Generai in North America (U.S.A., Canada) and Europe. Also reported from Asia (Formosa, Iraq, Japan, Philippines) and Australasia (Australia). TRANSMISSION: Through soil and seed (Leach, 1936).

Abstract A description is provided for Macrophomina phaseolina. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Plurivorous; Young (1949) lists 284 hosts. DISEASES: Charcoal rot, ashy stem blight. The most frequent symptoms are a dry or wet, dark rot of the lower stem. In maize and sorghum this usually occurs near maturity; the cortex is destroyed, lodging may take place and numerous sclerotia are found on the vascular fibres (16: 310; 24: 96; 25: 109). Leaf lesions also occur on jute and legumes (4: 349; 23: 107; 26: 139). Stem rot and canker can be severe in potato, cotton and groundnut (15: 148; 24: 202, 228, 503; 34: 541; 47, 378). In conifers and many crops the fungus causes damping-off (13: 344; 17: 115; 21: 275; 26: 139; 35: 42; 38: 550; 40: 193; 45, 2846; 48, 2030). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread in the tropics and subtropics. TRANSMISSION: Through plant debris in soil. Seed-borne spread may be important in some crops. Both sclerotia and pycnidia can occur on the seed surface and under the seed coat (18: 82; 27: 71). Sclerotia are probably the main source of infection which also occurs through conidia (26: 139). Sclerotia showed no loss in viability after 8 months and the fungus was recovered from cotton stubble after 24-42 weeks (25: 56; 35: 607).
