Abstract A description is provided for Eremothecium ashbyi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Gossypium hirsutum and also on other species of Gossypium. DISEASE: Stigmatomycosis or cotton boll rot and staining of the lint. The lint becomes discoloured and the seed coat is stained brown in spots (30: 124). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Sudan, South Africa and U.S.A. (Tarr, 1955). TRANSMISSION: Mechanical transmission by hemipterous insects.

Abstract A description is provided for Nematospora coryli. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On seeds of Gossypium hirsutum. Also on Anacardium occidentale, Citrus spp., Coffea spp., Corylus avellana, Crotalaria juncea, C. striata, Cajanus cajan, Dolichos lablab, Phaseolus atropurpureus, P. acutifolius, P. lunatus, P. vulgaris, Tephrosia wegelii and Vigna sinensis[Vigna unguiculata] (5: 390; Leach, 1940; Pearson & Maxwell Darling, 1958). DISEASE: Yeast spot of bean and a large number of other seeds, Internal Boll Rot or Cotton staining or Stigmatomycosis. Cotton lint becomes dirty yellow and seeds are shrivelled. Spots mostly on the fruit and other fleshy parts or on the seed. On Lima bean cotyledons the lesions are a dark brown, sunken, wrinkled areas. After infection, beans cease developing and later become dwarfed or die. The earlier the attack, the more injury the bean sustains (Chupp & Sherf, 1960). Infection occurs only when the fruits are young and the atmosphere humid. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Mostly in Africa and Asia but has been reported from U.S.A. and Europe (4: 90; 26: 93; CMI Map 163, ed. 3, 1959). TRANSMISSION: Mechanically transmitted from plant to plant by pentatomid bugs of the genera Antestiopsis, Nezara and Dysdercus nigrofasciatus. The yeast always enters through insect punctures (5: 390; 14: 507; 23: 207). Its dissemination is favoured by bright sunny days which facilitate the movement of the carrier from one plant to another (Chupp & Sherf, 1960).

Abstract Field experiments and supporting laboratory work were conducted to characterize the ability of the verde plant bug, Creontiades signatus (Distant), a boll-feeding sucking bug, to transmit a cotton seed and boll rot bacterial pathogen, Serratia marcescens (Bizio) (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae). Serratia marcescens was originally isolated from bolls infested with verde plant bug in south Texas, and a Rifampicin resistant S. marcescens strain was used in transmission and retention experiments. Serratia-exposed and nonexposed adult verde plant bugs from a laboratory colony were placed individually on 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-d-old bolls (postanthesis). The bacterial acquisition process did not apparently affect insect vigor based on similar average boll injury ratings observed across both exposed and nonexposed bugs. Cotton bolls caged with Serratia-exposed verde plant bugs had significantly greater presence of S. marcescens and cotton boll rot symptoms than bolls caged without bugs (no-insect controls) or nonexposed bugs. Transmission of the disease agent by verde plant bug was confirmed across all boll ages assayed. Incidence of diseased locules on 5- and 6-d-old bolls was the same or greater than on 7- and 8-d-old bolls. Verde plant bug was able to harbor the disease agent from 24- to 96-h postinfection, and transmission efficiency rates ranged from 54 to 62% during initial transmission and retention (transmission across two bolls fed upon consecutively) studies. Along with photographic evidence, the experimental data supported that boll damage associated with verde plant bug infestations was magnified when insects transmitted the cotton pathogen S. marcescens as demonstrated in this 2-yr field experiment.
