Abstract A description is provided for Xanthomonas populi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Populus balsamifera, P. deltoides, P. euamericana, P. tremula, P. tremuloides and P. trichocarpa × P. deltoides (Salicaceae). DISEASE: Bacterial canker of poplar. First visible on young branches which swell and crack producing a bacterial exudate. Large cankers may develop at these sites over several seasons, or other organisms may invade and cause rapid death of the distal part of the branch. The pathogen gains entry into the plant through wounds, e.g. leaf and stipule scars, insect punctures and frost cracks. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: ASIA: China, Pakistan. EUROPE: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia. TRANSMISSION: The disease can be spread by the actions of wind and rain.

Abstract A description is provided for Pestalozziella subsessilis, a colonizer of living leaves, causing leaf spot symptoms leading to leaves fading and dying. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, economic impacts, infraspecific variation and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (USA (Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Wisconsin), Kazakhstan, Russia, New Zealand, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Ukraine, and United Kingdom), hosts (Geranium carolinianum (leaf), G. collinum (leaf), G. columbianum (leaf), G. columbinum (leaf), G. macrorrhizum (leaf), G. maculatum (leaf), G. palustre (leaf), G. pratense (leaf), G. pusillum (leaf), G. pyrenaicum (leaf), G. robertianum (leaf), G. sanguineum (leaf), G. sylvaticum (leaf), G. wlassovianum (leaf), Geranium sp., and Oxypolis rigidor [Tiedemannia rigida]) and associated fungi Chaetomella raphigera.

Abstract A description is provided for Aplanobacter populi[Xanthomonas populi]. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Populus spp. DISEASE: Bacterial canker of poplar. 'Chancre suitant' of Ride. First visible on young branches as slightly swollen areas with superficial cracks from which may ooze a dense, mucous, greyish exudate in sparing. Large cankers may develop at these sites over several seasons, or other organisms may invade and cause rapid death of the distal part of the branch. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe (CMI Map 422). Recently reported from East Germany (46, 2843). A different bacteriosis has been reported in Italy (Ride, pers. comm., 1970). TRANSMISSION: The disease can spread rapidly in the direction of the prevailing wind in susceptible plantations (47, 3227), suggesting spread by wind-blown rain splashes. Insects such as the cambium miner, Dendromyza carbonaria, are probably also involved. Dissemination into new areas occurs when infected material is planted. The pathogen gains entry into the plant through wounds, e.g. leaf and stipule scars, insect punctures, and frost cracks.

Abstract A description is provided for Cercospora bizzozeriana, which sometimes causes severe damage to Cardaria and Lepidium leaves. Some information on its interactions and habitats, economic impacts, intraspecific variation, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Tunisia, Canada (Manitoba), USA (Montana), Venezuela, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, American Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Moldova, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine and United Kingdom) and hosts (Lepidium draba, Cardaria sp., L. campestre, L. latifolium, L. virginicum and Lepidium sp.).

Abstract A description is provided for Arthrocladiella mougeotii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Powdery mildew of Lycium species only. The mycelium, conidiophores, conidia and ascomata form first white, then dirty-grey patches on damaged green parts of the host. Infected parts are deformed slightly and, in cases of high infection, plants can lose their ornamental qualities. Damaged leaves can fall prematurely. HOSTS: Lycium barbarum (= L. europaeum), L. chinense, L. dasystemum, L. halimifolium, L. ovatum, L. potaninii, L. rhombifolium, L. ruthenicum. [Type host - Lycium barbarum] GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Canary Islands. Asia (temperate areas only): Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Korea, Russia (Russian far east), Tadzhikistan, Taiwan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Australasia: New Zealand (introduced). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine (southern), former Yugoslavia. North America: USA (introduced). TRANSMISSION: By wind-dispersed conidia. The rôle of ascospores in disease transmission is unknown, although it has been supposed that they can cause the initial stage of the disease.
