Abstract A description is provided for Podosphaera myrtillina. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Powdery mildew of plants belonging to the Vacciniaceae only. Infected plants usualy change colour, Ascomata form a brown layer on damaged green parts of host. Development of the disease can by epiphytotic, in which case the crop of berries can be significantly reduced. HOSTS: Arctostaphylos alpina (?), Ledum groenlandicum (?), Vaccinium angustifolium (V. pennsylvanicum), V. × intermedium (V. myrtillus × vitis-idaea), V. membranaceum, V. myrtillus, V. oxycoccos (Oxycoccus palustris, O. quadripetalus), V. uliginosum, V. vitis-idaea. [Type species - Vaccinium myrtillus] GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (temperate areas only): Republic of Georgia, Russia (all Russian far east including Kamchatka; west, south and east Siberia including Yakutia). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Russia (western and northwestern areas of European part, Moscow oblast'), Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, former Yugoslavia. North America: Canada, USA (including Alaska). TRANSMISSION: Probably by wind-dispersed conidia. The rôle of ascospores in disease transmission is unknown, although it has been supposed that they can cause the initial stage of the disease. Infection can also, however, occur from colonies surviving in host buds. In addition, ascomata of Podosphaera myrtillina, especially of var. major, intertwine their appendages to form clusters which are dispersed by rain or wind.

Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora sparsa. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Cultivated roses and the following species, Rosa californica, R. centifolia, R. canina, R. chinensis, R. rubiginosa. DISEASE: Downy mildew of rose. Bright red to purple or, less frequently, brown spots develop on the leaves which fall very readily especially if the bushes are shaken gently. A non-parasitic defoliation of unknown origin termed a 'false mildew' has been reported from France (Tramier, 1962). The necrotic spots formed on the leaves are similar at a certain stage to those caused by P. sparsa. Conidiophores and conidia develop on the under surface of the downy mildew spots in high relative humidity. In Europe their production is sparse but in California it is reported as copious (Baker, 1953). In heavy infections stems and flowers (both calyx and petals) become diseased and badly infected and young stems often die back. Flowers and flower buds can be retarded and malformed by the pathogen without visible damage to the leaves (53, 3523). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Egypt, Morocco, S. Africa, Zimbabwe); Asia (Brunei, Iran, Israel, Japan, Mauritius, Philippines); Australasia (Australia, New Zealand); Europe (Austria, Britain (incl. Jersey), Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, USSR); N. America (Canada, USA); S. America (Argentina, Brazil). TRANSMISSION: As dormant mycelium in cuttings and plants. It is reported that mycelium can overwinter within infected stems both from warmer countries such as Australia (57, 2154) and Brazil (19, 98) and also from Northern Europe (53, 3523). The role of oospores in disease transmission is less certain. They have been found in leaves and stems (Baker, 1953; Fraymouth, 1956) and flowers (Cuboni, 1888) but their occurrence seems to be sporadic and they do not appear to be of great importance in carrying over the pathogen. The possibility that the disease may be seed borne was suggested by a worker in Poland (7, 325). In 1926 downy mildew was discovered in a commercial nursery near Lublin on one-year-old seedlings of Rosa canina. The seedlings had been raised from seed imported from Vienna and the inference was that the disease came with the seed especially as all seedlings of local origin were healthy. Peronospora sparsa is not listed as a seed pathogen by Neergaard (1977).
