Greeneria uvicola. [Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria].
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).
