Ixoras (Ixora L.) growing in calcareous sandy soils are highly susceptible to a reddish leaf spot disorder. Symptoms appear on the oldest leaves of a shoot and consist of irregular diffuse brownish-red blotches on slightly chlorotic leaves. Symptoms of K deficiency, P deficiency, and both K and P deficiency were induced in container-grown Ixora `Nora Grant' by withholding the appropriate element from the fertilization regime. Potassium-deficient ixoras showed sharply delimited necrotic spotting on the oldest leaves, were stunted in overall size, and retained fewer leaves per shoot than control plants. Phosphorus-deficient plants showed no spotting, but had uniformly brownish-red older leaves and olive-green younger foliage. Plants deficient in both elements displayed symptoms similar to those observed on landscape plants. Symptomatic experimental and landscape ixoras all had low foliar concentrations of both K and P.

The number of <i>Septoria lycopersici</i> pycnospores necessary for inducing tomato infection was reported. In addition to this, the influence of inoculum concentration and site of tomato infection as well as the influence of air humidity and temperature on diseasee expression have been researched. Studies upon the character of <i>S. lycopersici</i> penetration and host-plant parasite interaction were made with the susceptible Bounty tomato under greenhouse conditions. The results of observations concerning the appearance and development of septoria leaf spot in the fields of central Poland were also described.

Abstract A description is provided for Ascochyta sorghi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Sorghum bicolor and wild sorghums. DISEASE: Rough leaf spot of sorghum. On leaves symptoms appear as small circular to oblong light coloured spots with well defined reddish margin. Older lesions become broadly elliptic, greyish to yellow brown or purplish red, reaching 4-9 × 8-14 mm. Lesions often merge with one another to form large irregular necrotic areas up to 12.5 × 2.5 cm and the whole leaves may be killed. The variety of host plant mostly determines whether the leaf spots have a distinct red margin or an indistinct margin (Tarr, 1962; Edmunds & Zummo, 1975). Lesions may also occur on leaf sheaths and sometimes on leaf stalks. The disease appears to be severe on young plants whilst older plants have been reported to be resistant to attack (13, 746). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Eritrea, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Zaire); Asia (Burma, India); Europe (Italy); N. America (USA, Alabama, Georgia); USSR. TRANSMISSION: Infection has been claimed to be spread by air-borne conidia in wet weather or heavy dews and also by insects (Singh et al., 1951; Tarr, 1962; Edmunds & Zummo, 1975). The fungus has been reported to be carried over on crop residues of sorghum and debris in the soil (Singh et al., 1951; Edmunds & Zummo, 1975).

The resultus of this study have indicated a lack of physioloigical specialization of <i>Septoria lycopersici</i> in Poland. The susceptibility of tomato plants to this fungus depending on the age of host plant and its variety, was also studied out.

Abstract Background Due to its high damaging potential, Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by Cercospora beticola is a continuous threat to sugar beet production worldwide. Breeding for disease resistance is hampered by the quantitative nature of resistance which may result from differences in penetration, colonization, and sporulation of the pathogen on sugar beet genotypes. In particular, problems in the quantitative assessment of C. beticola sporulation have resulted in the common practice to assess field resistance late in the growth period as quantitative resistance parameter. Recently, hyperspectral sensors have shown potential to assess differences in CLS severity. Hyperspectral microscopy was used for the quantification of C. beticola sporulation on sugar beet leaves in order to characterize the host plant suitability / resistance of genotypes for decision-making in breeding for CLS resistance. Results Assays with attached and detached leaves demonstrated that vital plant tissue is essential for the full potential of genotypic mechanisms of disease resistance and susceptibility. Spectral information (400 to 900 nm, 160 wavebands) of CLSs recorded before and after induction of C. beticola sporulation allowed the identification of sporulating leaf spot sub-areas. A supervised classification and quantification of sporulation structures was possible, but the necessity of genotype-specific reference spectra restricts the general applicability of this approach. Fungal sporulation could be quantified independent of the host plant genotype by calculating the area under the difference reflection spectrum from hyperspectral imaging before and with sporulation. The overall relationship between sensor-based and visual quantification of C. beticola sporulation on five genotypes differing in CLS resistance was R2 = 0.81; count-based differences among genotypes could be reproduced spectrally. Conclusions For the first time, hyperspectral imaging was successfully tested for the quantification of sporulation as a fungal activity depending on host plant suitability. The potential of this non-invasive and non-destructive approach for the quantification of fungal sporulation in other host–pathogen systems and for the phenotyping of crop traits complex as sporulation resistance is discussed.

Abstract A description is provided for Phyllachora bakeriana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Known from Cassia fistula, C. hoffinanseggiana and C. inaequilatera. DISEASE: Causes a leaf spot of Cassia species. The disease is not significant in economic terms; it appears to be unsightly and not seriously damaging to the host plant. Little is known of its ecology. Being a tropical species it probably does not show marked seasonality, but ascomata seem to be most often mature in January or February. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Central America: Grenada, Jamaica, Puerto Rico. South America: Brazil; probably more widespread. TRANSMISSION: This has not been studied, but ascospores are probably dispersed in the air and directly infect leaves, in common with other Phyllachora species.
