Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora rubi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Rubus arcticus, R. caesius, R. canadensis, R. canescens, R. chamaemorus, R. cissiburiensis, R. cissoides, R. corylifolius egg. (R. caesius × tereticaulis, R. nemorosus), R. flagellaris, R. fruticosus egg. (R. bregutiensis, R. buschi, R. glandulosus, R. hirtus, R. menkei, R. seebergensis, R. tereticaulis, R. vulgaris), R. idaeus, R. laciniatus, R. leucodermis, R. × loganobaccus (orursinus × ideaus), R. occidentalis, R. parviflorus, R. plicatus, R. procerus, R. spectabilis, R. strigosus, R. sulcatus, R. tuberculatus, R. villosus, R. vitifolius, and certain hybrids, e.g. 'Tayberry' (blackberry cv. Aurora × tetraploid red raspberry), 'Tummelberry' (a 'Tayberry' interspecific cross) and 'Youngberry'. DISEASE: Downy mildew of cane fruits (Rubus spp.), especially blackberry (R. fruticosus agg.), boysenberry (a blackberry × red raspberry cross: the name R. × loganobaccus covers this plant) and raspberry (R. idaeus). The fungus, an obligately biotrophic plant pathogen, occurs on leaves in summer to autumn, producing small, conspicuous, irregularly shaped patches on upper leaf surfaces, starting near the petiole, then following leaf veins. Patches are initially yellow, becoming carmine-red, vinaceous or purple and are bordered by venation. The undersurface of the leaf shows only a pale area with a brownish edge, and brownish discoloration near and alongside veins. Sporophores are sometimes difficult to detect in the dense mat of leaf hairs, but are heaviest on lowest leaves, close to ground level, forming a buff-grey felt. In wild-growing European species of Rubus the fungus occurs exclusively on the leaves. In North America it attacks leaves of cultivated raspberry bushes, and in New Zealand the fruits, sepals and pedicels of boysenberry, causing the fruit to become dry and shrivelled (dryberry disease). Downy mildew has recently become a problem on certain berry cultivars in Eastern England (McKeown, 1988). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: South Africa. Asia: USSR (Azerbaijan). Australasia & Oceania: New Zealand. Europe: Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany (GFR, GDR), Norway, Poland, Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USSR (Latvia). North America: Canada (British Columbia), USA (IL, MD, OR, WA, WI). See CMI Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases 598. TRANSMISSION: Determined for boysenberry in New Zealand only (61, 4245), where it is a systemic disease confined to the outer cortex parenchyma, keeping pace with cell division at apical meristems. Systemic cane infection is often indicated by red streaking of stems and petioles linking successively diseased leaves on a shoot. Unfolding leaves are invaded during warm wet weather causing typical leaf symtoms. Stores produced on diseased shoots initiate secondary infections of flowers and developing berries. These berries then become an important source of inoculum for new cycles of the disease. They go largely unnoticed, since spores are partially hidden on the split berry surfaces or covered by the sepals. After harvest, infection of developing primocanes continues by internal mycelial growth and spore infection. Oospores form on root surfaces in dead cortex cells and leaves. Soilborne oospores may infect healthy plants established in former sites of infected root crowns.

Abstract A description is provided for Valsa sordida. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Valsa sordida is usually associated with Valsa canker of poplar twigs. Wounded trees, and trees injured by insects or attacked by other pathogens are more susceptible to infection. Development of Valsa canker is affected by environmental stress (Guyon, 1996; Tao et al., 1984). Poplar canker caused by V. sordida has been studied in different countries (CMI Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases, 1977; Worrall, 1983; Wang et al., 1981) The fungus can be often found in declining poplar stands together with another pathogen of poplar trees, Leucostoma niveum. Valsa sordida may also cause necrosis of willow twigs. HOSTS: Populus spp., Salix spp. and, more rarely, other woody angiosperms. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Morocco. Asia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan. Kazakhstan, Korea, Russia (Tatarstan), Turkey, Turkmenia, Uzbekistan. Australasia: Australia (Victoria), New Zealand. Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine, former Yugoslavia. North America: Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Québec, Saskatchewan). USA (California, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota). South America: Chile. TRANSMISSION: Both conidia and ascospores are air-borne, especially under humid conditions. Yellow or orange exudation of conidia from conidiomata can be often seen after rain.

Abstract A description is provided for Gloeotinia granigena. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Chief host: Lolium perenne, but also infects other pasture grasses including Lolium multiflorum, Lolium temulentum, Bromus spp., Elytrigia spp., Festuca spp., Secale cereale. DISEASE: Blind seed disease of ryegrass and other grasses. Once the grass flower is infected the endosperm is permeated by the fungal mycelium and the embryo is frequently killed, resulting in failure to germinate. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australasia: Australia (NSW, SA, Tas., Vic.), New Zealand; Europe: Denmark, Eire, England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, USSR, Wales, North America: Canada (Quebec), USA (OR) (see CMI Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases, No. 315). TRANSMISSION: Fungus overwinters in fallen infected seed; apothecia produced in spring coincidentally with flowering of host plant; ascospores forcibly discharged and carried by air currents to open flowers. Macroconidia may also infect additional flowers.

Abstract A description is provided for Phytophthora pseudotsugae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pseudotsuga menziesii. DISEASE: Root rot of Douglas fir; the fungus is a facultatively necrotrophic plant pathogen. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America: USA (OR, WA). See CMI Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases 600. TRANSMISSION: Unknown. Presumably soil-borne by zoopores released in favourable conditions.

Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora violae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Viola acutifolia, V. arvensis, V. biflora, V. calarata, V. canina, V. cornuta, V. kitaibeliana, V. palustris, V. reichenbachiana, V. riviniana, V. silvestris, V. tricolor, V. tricolor var. arvensis, V. wittrockiana. DISEASE: Downy mildew of Viola spp. (violet and pansy); the fungus is an obligately biotrophic plant pathogen. In the early stages of the disease, a light covering of sporophores may be seen on the undersurface of individual leaves, unaccompanied by a colour change in the leaf. Later yellow patches appear on the upper surface of leaves covering a part of, or the whole lobe corresponding with patches of grey down on the leaf undersurface. Infected leaves eventually turn brown and die. Not all shoots are infected. Mildew first appears in October and progresses rapidly in November if the climate is mild and damp, or more slowly if dry. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia: USSR (Khazakhstan). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany (GDR, GFR), Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USSR (Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, White Russia), Yugoslavia. See CMI Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases 599. TRANSMISSION: Boudier (1987) states that 'spectacular attacks of mildew follow sprinkler watering in dry autumn weather', suggesting that dispersal of spores may occur by a water splash mechanism. No other reports have been published.
