Abstract A description is provided for Leptosphaeria doliolum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts.

Abstract A description is provided for Ramularia armoraciae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Pale leaf spot of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). HOSTS: Alliaria petiolata, Arabis sp., Armoracia rusticana (= A. lapathifolia; Cochlearia armoracia[Armoracia rusticana]; Nasturtium armoracia; Rorippa armoracia), Barbarea orthoceras, B. praecox, B. vulgaris, Brassica vulgaris, B. stricta, B. elongata, B. nigra, B. rapa, Bunias orientalis, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Cochlearia officinalis, Farsetia sp., Hesperis matronalis, H. sibirica, H. tristis, Raphanus raphanistrum, Rorippa palustris, Thlaspi sp. (Brassicaceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: AFRICA: Kenya. NORTH AMERICA: Canada (Alberta, British Colombia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan), USA (Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming). ASIA: Afghanistan, Armenia, Republic of Georgia, India (Jammu & Kashmir), Japan (www.nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases), Kabardino-Balkaria, Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Russia (Far East; Siberia), South Korea (SHIN & BRAUN, 1996), Turkey [= Asia Minor].

TRANSMISSION: By wind and rain-splash dispersal of conidia. The fungus overwinters as sclerotia in the dead leaves or in leaf material that falls from the leaves resulting in shot-holes. The sclerotia produce new conidiophores and conidia in the spring (CHUPP & SHERF, 1960; DRING, 1961).

Abstract A description is provided for Leptosphaeria cylindrospora. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Although the fungus appears on dry stems of its host, it is not known to cause any pathological symptoms. HOSTS: Epilobium (Onagraceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: NORTH AMERICA: Canada (Manitoba), USA (Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Washington). ASIA: Kazakhstan (VASYAGINA et al., 1987). EUROPE: Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Romania (BONTEA, 1955), Sweden, Switzerland. TRANSMISSION: Ascospores are dispersed by wind and rain-splash; the fungus presumably overwinters on dead host tissue and the ascospores are dispersed in the next favourable season.

Abstract A description is provided for Ustilago syntherismae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Digitaria spp., including D. filiformis, D. ischaemum, D. sanguinalis. DISEASE: Loose smut of Digitaria. Infection sometimes dwarfs the host and causes it to branch more profusely than usual (36, 657); it is also reported that vegetative vigour is much prolonged in infected plants compared with uninfected (30, 432). Surface contamination by the large number of ustilospores when shed may result in some discolouration of the entire inflorescence including sheaths and leaf blades. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: 'Congo', Gambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe; Asia: Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, India, Japan, Pakistan, Russia (central Asia, far east); Australasia: Australia: NSW (31, 225); Europe: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark (39, 284), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (European region), Ukraine (52, 354); North America: Canada (Ontario; 46, 3383), Mexico, USA (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Washington DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, IA, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, MD, ME, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, MS, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia; 69, 2765); South America: Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay. (33, 634; 40, 209; 48, 2203; 50, 2756; 64, 4163). TRANSMISSION: No detailed studies have been reported; ustilospores are presumably disseminated by air currents and infection is thought to be systemic.

Abstract A description is provided for Moesziomyces bullatus. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Echinochloa crus-galli. DISEASE: Seed smut of Echinochloa. The small number of sori in any infected inflorescence renders the disease inconspicuous and it is probably frequently overlooked. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia: Azerbaijan, China (Beijing, Chengtu), Kazakhstan, Japan, Russia (Far East, Siberia), Uzbekhistan; Australasia: New Zealand (57, 649); Europe: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal (39, 555), Romania, Russia (European region), Ukraine; North America: Canada (NS, Ontario; 46, 3383), Mexico, USA (eastern states, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, MD, North Carolina, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wisconsin; 69, 2765). TRANSMISSION: No detailed studies reported.
