<p>Micromycetes inhabiting the leaves of 20 cultivars of climbing roses (<em>Rosa</em> L.), grown in Botanic Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow was investigated in the three successive years of research. Sixty-five taxa of of micromycetes was recorded with a few species dominating: <em>Alternaria alternata</em>, <em>Epicoccum nigrum</em>, <em>Pestalotia rosae</em>, <em>Penicillium brevicompactum</em> and <em>Sordaria fimicola</em>, accompanied by various other microfungi. A high abundance of rose black spot caused by <em>Diplocarpon rosae</em> was also observed. The affected leaves revealed advancing necrosis, substantially enhancing at the end of the growing season. Defoliation took place from June to October. Micromycetes inhabiting the leaves of climbing roses in Botanic Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow considerably deteriorated the decorative aspect of the plants.</p>

In May and October 2010–2012, mycological studies were conducted on 10 cultivars of rhododendron bushes growing in containers in the nursery of ornamental plants. Out of 3000 specimens of infested leaf fragments, 2566 fungal colonies belonging to 41 species were isolated. The following species colonizing the leaves and causing their necrosis were extracted in the largest number of colonies: <em>Alternaria alternata</em>, <em>Aspergillus niger</em>, <em>Epicoccum nigrum</em>, <em>Humicola grisea</em>, <em>Pestalotiopsis sydowiana</em>, <em>Phoma pomorum</em>, <em>Sordaria fimicola</em>, <em>Trichoderma koningii</em>, <em>Trichoderma polysporum</em>, <em>Truncatella truncata</em>, <em>Umbelopsis isabellina</em> and others. The research showed that the micromycetes colonies colonizing and damaging rhododendron leaves varied in species composition and number of colonies in different years and at different times. The study determined which rhododendron cultivars were characterized by good health and which had the greatest susceptibility to infection by micromycetes.

<p>Rhododendrons (<em>Rhododendron</em> L.) are shrubs whose attractiveness is determined by their multi-coloured flowers and evergreen leaves. Necroses visible on the leaves of rhododendron cuttings diminish the suitability of nursery material for marketing. These symptoms are most frequently caused by fungi. The investigations were conducted in 2010–2011 in an ornamental shrub nursery to identify fungi colonizing the phyllosphere of rhododendron cuttings and causing leaf necroses. The material for analysis consisted of leaves of 11 rhododendron cultivars. 550 leaves were collected from 110 half-year-old cuttings for mycological analysis. Over 350 fungal colonies belonging to 15 species were isolated from the leaves of rhododendron cuttings. The dominants included: <em>Pestalotiopsis</em> <em>sydowiana</em>, <em>Trichoderma koningii</em> and <em>Alternaria alternata</em>. The influents included: <em>Aspergillus brasiliensis</em>, <em>Mucor hiemalis</em> f. <em>hiemalis</em>,<em> Epicoccum nigrum</em>, <em>Sordaria fimicola</em> and <em>Umbelopsis isabellina</em>. A large majority of the fungi preferred the phyllosphere environment of Yakushima rhododendron (<em>R. yakushimanum</em>) cultivars ‘Sneezy’ and ‘Golden Torch’ as well as of the large-flowered cultivars ‘Flautando’, ‘Dominik’, and ‘Simona’. The phyllosphere of the large-flowered cultivars ‘Bernstein’, ‘Nova Zembla’, and ‘Goldbuckett’ was a reservoir for many fungal colonies and fungi species. The cultivars less susceptible to colonization by fungi and the most promising for planting in green areas and home gardens are the large-flowered cultivars ‘Bernstein’, ‘Nova Zembla’, ‘Goldbuckett’, ‘Rasputin’, and ‘Roseum Elegans’.</p>

Fungicides were evaluated for their efficacy against black spot of rose, caused by Diplocarpon rosae, when applied during winter months to hybrid tea rose plants in two studies. One study, conducted at two Auburn University campus sites, consisted of applications of horticultural oil, chlorothalonil plus an antitranspirant, and cyproconazole, along with nontreated plants; one site included triforine applications. Rose canes were treated two and three times between late October and February in 1996-97 and 1997-98, respectively; then plants were examined every 2 to 4 days beginning in mid-February for onset of symptoms of black spot. In both years, winter applications of fungicides (chlorothalonil, cyproconazole, and triforine) delayed disease onset compared with treatments without fungicides (nontreated and oil applications). Decreased plant defoliation, as well as improved plant vigor, were observed through the 1998 growing season following fungicidal winter treatments at campus sites; winter treatments with oil did not suppress disease compared with no treatment. In a second study started in November 1997, at a site near Shorter, AL, three systemic fungicides (myclobutanil, cyproconazole, and triforine) were applied to rose canes during the winter; nontreated plants were included. Decreased disease symptoms and defoliation of rose plants were observed early in the 1998 and 1999 seasons following winter applications of cyproconazole and triforine compared with myclobutanil or nontreated plants. Winter treatments with these fungicides did not consistently provide season-long reduction of black spot. However, season-long plant vigor and flower production on plants were improved at the Shorter site following winter applications of any of the above systemic fungicides compared with nontreated plants.

Epicotripeptin (1), a new cyclic tripeptide along with four known cyclic dipeptides (2–5) and one acetamide derivative (6) were isolated from seagrass-associated endophytic fungus Epicoccum nigrum M13 recovered from the Red Sea. Additionally, two new compounds, cyclodidepsipeptide phragamide A (7) and trioxobutanamide derivative phragamide B (8), together with eight known compounds (9–16), were isolated from plant-derived endophyte Alternaria alternata 13A collected from a saline lake of Wadi El Natrun depression in the Sahara Desert. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined based on the 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data, HRESIMS data, and a comparison with the reported literature. The absolute configurations of 1 and 7 were established by advanced Marfey’s and Mosher’s ester analyses. The antimicrobial screening indicated that seven of the tested compounds exhibited considerable (MIC range of 2.5–5 µg/mL) to moderate (10–20 µg/mL) antibacterial effect against the tested Gram-positive strains and moderate to weak (10–30 µg/mL) antibacterial effect against Gram-negative strains. Most of the compounds exhibited weak or no activity against the tested Gram-negative strains. On the other hand, four of the tested compounds showed considerable antibiofilm effects against biofilm forming Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains.
