Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln. is a common ornamental houseplant. Although powdery mildew is a major disease of this species, there are no published reports of it in the Pacific Northwest. In August, 2002, powdery mildew was observed on six indoor K. blossfeldiana plants in an office and adjacent laboratory at the Puyallup Research and Extension Center.

In December 1996 and January 1997, powdery mildew was observed on potted poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch) plants in Monterey County, CA. Mycelia were observed on stems, petioles, mature and immature leaves, and bracts. Severely diseased leaves became twisted and bent and senesced prematurely. The white mycelia were conspicuous, epiphytic, and amphigenous; hyphae measured 4.6 to 6.9 μm in diameter. Growth initially was in patches but eventually became effused. Appressoria were slightly lobed to lobed and sometimes opposite. Conidiophore foot cells were cylindrical, sometimes bent at the base, and slightly flexuous to flexuous. Foot cells measured 30.0 to 46.2 μm × 5.8 to 6.9 μm and were followed by one to two shorter cells. Conidia were cylindrical to slightly doliform and measured 25.4 to 32.3 μm × 11.6 to 18.5 μm. The length-to-width ratios of conidia generally were greater than 2.0. Conidia were produced singly, placing the fungus in the Pseudoidium-type powdery mildew group. Conidia germinated at the ends, and no fibrosin bodies were observed. Cleistothecia were not found. The fungus was identified as an Oidium species. Pathogenicity was demonstrated by gently pressing infected leaves having abundant sporulation onto leaves of potted poinsettia plants (cvs. Freedom Red, Peter Star Marble, and Nutcracker White), incubating the plants in a moist chamber for 48 h, and then maintaining plants in a greenhouse. After 12 to 14 days, powdery mildew colonies developed on the inoculated plants, and the pathogen was morphologically identical to the original isolates. Uninoculated control plants did not develop powdery mildew. This is the first report of powdery mildew on poinsettia in California. This fungus appears similar to Microsphaera euphorbiae but has longer, slightly flexuous foot cells that do not match the description for M. euphorbiae (1,2). An alternative identification would be Erysiphe euphorbiae; however, there are no available mitosporic descriptions for morphological comparisons (1,2). In the United States, powdery mildew of poinsettia previously has been reported in various states in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and Northeast. References: (1) U. Braun. Beih.

California poppy is an annual species grown widely in the Pacific Northwest. Once established, populations are self-seeding and require little care. During an ongoing study of Erysiphales, a powdery mildew fungus was collected repeatedly on this species in Seattle, WA. The fungus was determined to be Erysiphe cruciferarum Opiz ex Junell, a species not reported previously on this host in North America. This report documents the occurrence of the disease and provides information on the morphology and identification of the causal agent. Accepted for publication 8 November 2006.

Kalanchoë Blossfeldiana

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln., belonging to the Crassulaceae, is a common ornamental houseplant with many cultivars. In May 2010, powdery mildew was observed on about 50% of 3,000 potted kalanchoe ‘Rose Queen’ plants in plastic greenhouses located in Yongin city of central Korea. Farmers producing potted kalanchoes in Yongin region stated that powdery mildew on kalanchoes was mild without causing problems for the last several years. The disease became severe from April 2010 and caused economic losses. The economic and esthetic value was reduced by the unsightly appearance of infected plants with most being unmarketable. Damage due to powdery mildew infections on kalanchoes appeared every year. A representative specimen was deposited in the Korea University herbarium (Accession No. KUS-F24911). Mycelial colonies were white, conspicuous and epiphytic on leaves and stems. Hyphae were septate, branched, and 3 to 6 μm wide. Appressoria on the hyphae were well developed, lobed, and mostly positioned in pairs. Conidiophores were cylindrical, 70 to 145 × 7 to 11.5 μm, and composed of three to four cells. Foot-cells of conidiophores were straight, cylindrical, and 28 to 48 μm long. Conidia produced singly were variable in shape, oval to cylindrical, oval or oblong-elliptical, 30 to 55 × 14 to 24 μm, lacked distinct fibrosin bodies, and showed angular/rectangular wrinkling of outer walls. Germ tubes were produced on the perihilar position of conidia. No chasmothecia were found. The morphological characteristics were consistent with descriptions of Erysiphe sedi U. Braun (1). To confirm the identity of the causal fungus, the complete ITS region of rDNA from KUS-F24911 was amplified with primers ITS5 and P3 as described by Takamatsu et al. (4) and directly sequenced. The resulting sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. JX173288). A GenBank BLAST search using the present data revealed that the ITS sequence shares 100% (552/552 bp) similarity with those of E. sedi on Sedum spp. (Accession Nos. JX173289, JX173290). Pathogenicity was confirmed through inoculation by gently pressing diseased leaves onto leaves of five healthy potted kalanchoe plants. Five non-inoculated plants served as controls. Plants were maintained in a greenhouse at 22 ± 2°C. Inoculated plants developed signs and symptoms after 7 days, whereas the control plants remained symptomless. The fungus present on the inoculated plants was morphologically identical to that originally observed on diseased plants, fulfilling Koch's postulates. E. sedi is also known to infect Kalanchoe pinnata (Lam.) Pers. (= Bryophyllum calycinum Salisb.) in Romania (1,2) and other crassulaceous plants including Sedum spectabile in North America (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. sedi infections of K. blossfeldiana in Korea. This disease seems to be a serious threat to the commercial production of kalanchoe plants which are cultivated under plastic greenhouses of poor ventilation and low light levels in Korea.
