Togninia minima is an important pathogen causing esca and grapevine declines worldwide. Although perithecia of T. minima have been produced in the laboratory, their presence in diseased vineyards has not been shown. In our study, perithecia of T. minima were found on grapevines in the field in five California counties. Perithecia were clustered on dead vascular tissue in deep cracks along trunks and cordons or on the surfaces of decayed pruning wounds. Field-collected perithecia were characteristic of T. minima perithecia previously produced in vitro and molecular sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA additionally confirmed their identity. Ascospores from perithecia germinated on agar medium and formed colonies typical of T. minima. This is the first report of T. minima perithecia in diseased vineyards and suggests ascospores as an additional source of inoculum for new grapevine infections.

A New Species

A new species of Trogia (Marasmiaceae, Basidiomycota) is described from West Bengal, India. Analysis of the molecular sequence (nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region) data suggests that T. benghalesis is phylogenetically distinct from its closely related species. Comprehensive description based on macro- and microscopic characters, photographs and comparisons with morphologically similar and phylogenetically related species are provided.

Fusarium wilt disease on banana has been known as panama disease one of the main diseases that cause huge losses for banana farmers. It is caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp cubense (Foc), which is very hard control because it is saprophytic in the soil. The mold infiltrates the root to vascular tissue that induces yellowing on the leaf, so this pathogen can attack the root, stem dan leaf. The research aimed to search bacteria from the banana rhizosphere that have an antifungal activity to inhibit Foc growth. Bacteria was isolated by serial dilution then was spread on King’s B agar medium incubation 28oC (room temperature). Four quadrants in vitro test on PDA medium used twenty bacterial from isolation, from the test was obtained six isolates have the potential to inhibit the growth of Foc. Based on percentage inhibition radial growth four isolates that have inhibition 50% over which TR2 was the highest at 79.07%. The in vitro test confirmed that bacteria from the banana rhizosphere have potential as biocontrol agent because it was able to inhibit the Foc growth.

Hohenbuehelia (Agaricales, Pleurotaceae) and Nematoctonus (Hyphomycetes) are the names for the sexual and asexual stages of a genus of nematode-destroying fungi (Basidiomycota). We obtained partial sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA, including the internal transcribed spacer region and the 5′ end of the large subunit, of 37 isolates of Hohenbuehelia and Nematoctonus representing 13 of the 16 described species in Nematoctonus. Phylogenetic analyses support Hohenbuehelia–Nematoctonus as a monophyletic clade of the Pleurotaceae, within which the species were placed in five main subclades. Exclusively predatory species ( Nematoctonus brevisporus Thorn & G.L. Barron, Nematoctonus campylosporus Drechsler, Nematoctonus robustus F.R. Jones, and Nematoctonus sp. UAMH 5317) appear to be basal. In these species, adhesive knobs to capture prey are produced on their hyphae but not on their conidia. A single mycelial individual may feed on many nematodes. From these have arisen both exclusively parasitoid species ( Nematoctonus cylindrosporus Thorn & G.L. Barron, Nematoctonus leiosporus Drechsler, Nematoctonus leptosporus Drechsler, Nematoctonus pachysporus Drechsler, Nematoctonus tylosporus Drechsler), and species that we call intermediate predators ( Nematoctonus angustatus Thorn & G.L. Barron, Nematoctonus concurrens Drechsler, Nematoctonus geogenius Thorn & GL. Barron, Nematoctonus hamatus Thorn & G.L. Barron, and Nematoctonus subreniformis Thorn & G.L. Barron). Exclusively parasitoid species have conidia that germinate to form sticky knobs that attach to passing nematodes but lack adhesive knobs on the hyphae. Each mycelial individual feeds on only one nematode. Intermediate predators have adhesive knobs both on hyphae and on germinated conidia and can act in both predatory and parasitoid modes. Most morphospecies are resolved as monophyletic, but sequences of additional gene regions are required to clarify species limits within the N. angustatus – N. geogenius group.
