Abstract A description is provided for Greeneria uvicola. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) are most susceptible; other grapes (Vitis vinifera, V. bourquina, V. labrusea, V. munsoniana) appreciably susceptible. Also recorded on apple (37, 241). Shown to be capable of invasion of fruits of apple, cherry, peach, strawberry, blueberry and banana (Ridings & Clayton, 1970). DISEASE: Bitter rot, ripe rot of grape, necrotic fleck of grapevine. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe (Greece); Asia (India, Hong Kong); North America (USA); Central America (Costa Rica); South America (Brazil); Africa (South Africa); Australia (Queensland). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne conidia. No information has been traced on the role of infected debris in spread and perennation of this fungus but the pathogen can carry over on infected first few internodes of the vine (5, 471).

Abstract A description is provided for Podosphaera leucotricha. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Malus spp., chiefly on M. pumila (apple), peach (Prunus persica), quince (Cydonia ualgaris) and Photinia spp. also attacked (Hirata, 1966). Also reported on almond fruit (43, 2544). DISEASE: Powdery mildew of apple. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (? Kenya, Rhodaia, South Africa, Tanzania); Asia (China, India, Israel, Japan, U.S.S.R.); Australia and New Zealand, Europe (widely distributed) North America (Canada and U.S.A.); South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru). (CMI map 118). TRANSMISSION: Overwinters on host as dormant mycdium in blossom buds. The role of deistothecia in overwintering is doubtful. Spread by wind-borne conidia (Anderson, 1956).

Abstract A description is provided for Diplocarpon earliana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Fragaria. DISEASE: Strawberry leaf scorch. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Throughout temperate zones and extending into the tropics in Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia and New Guinea; Africa (Rhodesia, Zambia, South Africa, Canary Islands); Europe (except Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Russia); North America (Canada, USA, Jamaica); South America (Brazil, Uruguay); Asia (Armenia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, W. Malaysia). Appears to be most important in USA and eastern Europe (CMI Map 452, ed. 1, 1969). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by splash dispersal of conidia from infected leaves. Ascospores appear to be unimportant and in some regions (Poland; 46, 2074) where the perfect state has not been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Cintractia axicola. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Fimbristylis species, including F. annua, F. autumnalis, F. complanata, F. dichotoma, F. diphylla, F. exilis, F. globulosa, F. obtusispora, F. squarrulosa, F. tenera and F. thonningiana; occasionally other Cyperaceae. DISEASE: Smut of Fimbristylis. Dikaryotic hyphae ramify intercellularly and intracellularly in the epidermis, cortex, medulla and vascular tissues of infected peduncles and form a white fungal covering; within this covering the fungal stroma with sporogenous pockets develops. Eventually the smut forms conspicuous black spore masses around the peduncles, whilst the spikelets are little altered morphologically. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. Africa: Gabon, Ghana, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe; Asia: Burma, China, India, Indo-China, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan; Australasia and Oceania: Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, North America: Mexico, USA; South America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela; Central America: Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Thomas, St. Vincent, Tobago, Trinidad, Virgin Is. (IMI Distribution Map 626, 1991). TRANSMISSION: Infection occurs in individual inflorescences. Ustilospores (and basidiospores) are disseminated by wind and rain. Ustilospore germination on peduncle surfaces and direct penetration of the epidermis have been observed (48, 3370).
