32Golovinomyces (U. Braun) Heluta [type species: Erysiphe
33cichoracearum DC. (Golovinomyces cichoracearum (DC.)
34Heluta)] is a genus of powdery mildew having polyascal ascoma
35(chasmothecia) with mycelioid appendages and catenescent co-
36nidia without fibrosin bodies (Braun and Takamatsu 2000;
37Matsuda and Takamatsu 2003). This genus is divided into two
38sections, sect. Golovinomyces and sect. Depressi (U. Braun) U.
39Braun. Golovinomyces is a large genus comprising 45 species
40(Braun and Cook 2012) with an almost worldwide distribution.
41The host range of this genus is mostly restricted to herbaceous
42plants, including up to 2283 species from 58 families such as the
43Asteraceae, Boraginaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Cucurbitaceae
44(Amano 1986). The taxonomic history of the genus was de-
45scribed in Braun and Cook (2012) in detail. Investigations of
46powdery mildews in Southeast Asia in the past 14 years, in
47particular in Thailand, have contributed to the discovery of new
48taxa and new records mainly belonging to the tribe Erysipheae
49(for example, Meeboon et al. 2016; Meeboon and Takamatsu
502016,2017a,b,c,d). In this paper, three hosts of powdery mil-
51dews are reported that are new worldwide, one new combination
52is introduced, and 11 host-fungus combinations of the powdery
53mildew species (Golovinomyces ambrosiae,G. cynoglossi,
54G. orontii,G. sonchicola,andG. sordidus)newforThailand
55are listed. The identifications of the species concerned were ver-
56ified by phylogenetic methods, i.e. molecular sequence analyses.

61 examined using a light microscope with phase contrast 10×,
62 20× and 40× objectives. Herbarium samples were rehydrated
63 before examination by boiling a small piece of infected leaf
64 with the fungal mycelium downwards in a drop of lactic acid
65 on a slide (Shin and La 1993). After boiling, the rehydrated
66 mycelium was scraped off and studied in lactic acid using a
67 light microscope. Thirty conidia and conidiophores were mea-
68 sured for each specimen. Herbarium specimens were deposit-
69 ed at Mie University Mycological Herbarium (TSU-MUMH),
70 Japan.
71 The nucleotide sequences of the rDNA internal transcribed
72 spacer (ITS) region including 5.8S rDNA were determined in
73 accordance with Meeboon and Takamatsu (2015b).
74 Representative new sequences determined in this study were
75 deposited in DNA Data Base of Japan (DDBJ) under the ac-
76 cession numbers LC306656LC306669. These sequences
77 were aligned with closely related sequences of the
78 Erysiphaceae using MUSCLE (Edgar 2004)implementedin
79 MEGA version 6 (Tamura et al. 2013). Alignment was further
80 manually refined using MEGA, and deposited in TreeBASE
81 (http://www.treebase.org/) under the accession number
82 S21253. Phylogenetic trees were obtained from the datasets
83 by using the maximum parsimony (MP) method implemented
84 in PAUP* 4.0b10 (Swofford 2002) according to the proce-
85 dures of Meeboon and Takamatsu (2016).
86 Molecular phylogeny
87 Whole cell DNAwas extracted from mycelia using the chelex
88 method (WalshQ3 et al. 1991) as described in Hirata
Q
4=and
89 Takamatsu (1996). The respective primer pairs of PM5/ITS4
90 and ITS5/PM6 (TakamatsuQ5 and Kano 2001) were used to am-
91 plify ITS fragment 1 and fragment 2, respectively. PCR reac-
92 tion was conducted using KOD FX NeoDNA polymerase
93 (Toyobo, Japan) according to the manufacturer's protocol.
94 The PCR product was sent to SolGent Co. Ltd. (Daejeon,
95 South Korea) for sequencing using primer pair of ITS1 and
96 ITS4 (WhiteQ6 et al. 1990).
97 New representative sequences determined in this study
98 were deposited in DNA Data Base of Japan (DDBJ) under
99 the accession numbers LC163909, LC163911, LC163913,
100 LC163917 and LC163922. Sequences generated in this study
101 were aligned with other sequences of Golovinomyces re-
102 trieved from DNA databases (DDBJ, EMBL, NCBI) using
103 MUSCLE (Multiple Sequence Comparison by Log
104 Expectation) (Edgar 2004) implemented in MEGA 6
105 (Tamura et al. 2013). The alignments were deposited in
106 TreeBASE (http://www.treebase.org/) under the accession
107 number S20344.
108 Phylogenetic trees were obtained from the data set using
109 the maximum parsimony (MP) method performed in PAUP*
110 4.0b10 (Swofford 2002) with the heuristic search option using
111 the tree bisection reconstruction (TBR) algorithm. This search
112was repeated 100 times with different random starting points,
113using the stepwise addition option to increase the likelihood of
114finding the most parsimonious tree. All sites were treated as
115unordered and unweighted, with gaps treated as missing data.
116Tree scores, including tree length, consistency index (CI),
117retention index (RI) and rescaled consistency index
118(RC), were calculated. The strength of the internal
119branches of the resulting trees was tested with bootstrap
120(BS) analysis (Felsenstein Q71985) using 1000 replications
121with the stepwise addition option set to simple and a
122maximum tree number of 100.
123Results
124Phylogenetic analyses
125Fourteen ITS sequences of Golovinomyces species deter-
126mined in this study were aligned with other Golovinomyces
127sequences retrieved from DNA databases. Arthrocladiella
128mougeotii (Lév.) Vassilkov (AB329690) was used as outgroup
129taxon. Of the 510 total characters, 376 were constant, 46 were
130variable but parsimony-uninformative, and 88 were parsimo-
131ny-informative. The MP analysis produced about 115K equal-
132ly parsimonious trees with 284 steps. Topologies were almost
133consistent among the trees except for branching orders of the
134terminal branches and branch length. A typical tree is shown
135in Fig. 1.

169 Notes Ocimum tenuiflorum, commonly known as holy
170 basil,is an aromatic plant which is native to the Indian sub-
171 continent and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout the
172 Southeast Asian tropics. It is used in Thai cuisine as Thai holy
173 basil (kaphrao). Golovinomyces biocellatus (Ehrenb.) Heluta
174 was reported to occur on many host species of Lamiaceae,
175 including Ocimum spp., in Europe, Asia, North and South
176 America (Braun and Cook 2012Q9 ). Narayanaswami and
177 Ramakrishnan (1967) described Oidium ocimi on
178 O. tenuiflorum (= O. sanctum) from India. The original de-
179 scription is rather brief and too insufficient to determine the
180taxonomic position of this asexual powdery mildew.
181Therefore, Braun Q10(1987) listed O. ocimi under Anamorphs
182of uncertain position. Bappammal et al. (1995) collected
183additional Indian specimens of O. ocimi and provided a
184more detailed description and illustration, suggesting a
185close affinity of this species to Golovinomyces biocellatus.
186This illustration was again published in Hosagoudar and
187Agarwal (2009). Furthermore, Amano (1986) listed
188O. tenuiflorum (= O. sanctum) as host species of Erysiphe
189biocellata from India. Therefore, Braun and Cook (2012)re-
190duced O. ocimi to synonymy with G. biocellatus. Identification
191and application of the name O. ocimi require a clarification of
192this species via lecto- and epitypification. Type material of this
193species could not be traced and is probably not preserved.
194Bappammal et al. (1995) also failed to locate and examine type
195material. Therefore, the original illustration published in
196Narayanaswami and Ramakrishnan (1967), which is part of
197the original material in the sense of the ICN, has to be taken
198into consideration for lectotypification (see Art. 9.2, 9.3). An
199epitype (new material with corresponding sequence data) is
200proposed to allow a phylogenetic analysis of O. ocimi which

201 is essential for a taxonomic reassessment of this species.
202 The G. biocellatus complex has recently been divided
203 into four species (Scholler et al. 2016), viz, G. biocellatus,
204 G. monardae,G. neosalviae,andG. salviae. The present col-
205 lections from Thailand on Ocimum tenuiflorum are morpho-
206 logically similar to these Golovinomyces species but differ in
207 having relatively short conidiophores foot cells, 2742 μm
208 long, vs. 40100(140) μm long in G. monardae,55
209 100(130) μm long in G. biocellatus,30100(120) μmlong
210 in G. salviae,4575(115) μm long in G. neosalviae.
211 Furthermore, two sequences retrieved from powdery mildew
212 on O. tenuiflorum formed a distinct monophyletic clade. This
213 clade grouped with the clades of G. biocellatus,G. monardae,
214 G. neosalviae,andG. salviae with 100% BS value. The num-
215 ber of nucleotide differences of Golovinomyces on
216 O. tenuiflorum was 3/486 characters (99.3% similarity, not
217 including gaps) from G. biocellatus on Glechoma hederacea
218 (LC076805), 3/485 characters (99.3 % similarity) from
219 G. monardae on Monarda citriodora (LC076809), 4/485
220 characters (99.1 % similarity) from G. neosalviae on Salvia
221 lavandulifolia (LC076838), and 4/486 characters (99.1 %
222 similarity) from G. salviae on Salvia nemorosa (LC100001).
223 These results suggest that the powdery mildew on
224 O. tenuiflorum represents a species of its own morpholog-
225 ically and phylogenetically different from the allied
226 Golovinomyces species on Glechoma,Mentha,Origanum,
227Rosmarinus,Salvia and Thymus, supported by the
228phylogenetic-taxonomic affinity and position of the host
229plant within the Lamiaceae [subfam. Nepethoideae tribe
230Ocimeae] (Walker et al. 2004). ICN (International Code
231of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants), Art. 59.1, is
232applicable to this fungus. Thus, although its sexual morph is
233still unknown, it is assignable to Golovinomyces, which has
234priority over the anamorph-typified genus Euoidium that is
235now a heterotypic synonym of Golovinomyces (Rossman
236et al. 2016), and the name Oidium ocimi is used for this
237species (see above).
238The Golovinomyces ambrosiae clade (III sensu
239Takama t s u e t a l. 2013)
240This genetic assemblage is heterogeneous and unresolved. It
241comprises at least two morphologically distinguishable taxa
242that have been described as Golovinomyces ambrosiae,con-
243fined to Ambrosia,Helianthus,Iva, and Rudbeckia spp. as
244well as Zinnia angustifolia, all belonging to the composite
245tribe Heliantheae (Braun and Cook 2012). This species is
246characterized by having broadly ellipsoid-ovoid, doliiform to
247limoniform conidia, 2545 × 1527 μmwhenfresh,witha
248length/width ratio < 2, 1.31.9, mosty 1.41.6, and dimorphic
249germ tubes with a high percentage of longitubus pattern within
250the Euoidium type. The other taxon involved in this clade has

251been referred to as Golovinomyces spadiceus, which differs
252from G. ambrosiae in having narrower conidia, 2540 × 14
25320 μm, with a length/width ratio of 1.52andaEuoidium type
254of the conidial germination, lacking longitubus pattern germ
255tubes. G. spadiceus occurs on many hosts belonging to tribe
256Heliantheae, including species of the genera Coreopsis,
257Dahlia,Xanthium,andZinnia, but is undoubtedly plurivorous
258with various hosts belonging to genera of other composite
259tribes and possibly even to some non-composite hosts. The
260situation is further complicated by the fact that some of the
261hosts involved in this complex are colonized by several
262Golovinomyces species, e.g., Dahlia spp. and Helianthus
263spp. are also hosts of G. orontii and Zinnia spp. are known
264to be hosts of G. ambrosiae as well as G. spadiceus (Braun
265and Cook 2012). It cannot be excluded that even Helianthus
266spp. might be hosts of G. spadiceus. Lineage III in Takamatsu
267et al. (2013) is probably a complex of several species. ITS
268sequences are not sufficient for a reliable resolution and dif-
269ferentiation on species level. Furthermore, the application of
270the species names involved can only be considered to be ten-
271tative since Erysiphe ambrosiae and E. spadicea were de-
272scribed from North America on Ambrosia sp. and Xanthium
273sp., respectively, but reference sequences and epitypes based
274on North American samples are not yet available. The appli-

285 tentatively be assigned to G. ambrosiae and G. spadiceus
286 just based on morphology, as for instance done by Dugan
287 (2013) in the case of Golovinomyces on Coreopsis.Inthis
288 sense, Golovinomyces specimens recently collected in
289 Thailand on Dahlia pinnata,D. ×hortensis, and Laggera
290 crispata canbeassignedtoG. spadiceus, and collections on
291 Helianthus annuus to G. ambrosiae.Golovinomyces on
292 Ver b en a ×hybrida can only tentatively be assigned to
293 G. spadiceus (conidiophores and conidia of the sample from
294 Thailand are barely distinguishable from G. verbenae, but
295 comparative sequence data retrieved from North American
296collection on Ve r b en a are not yet available, i.e. the phyloge-
297netic position of the latter species is still unknown). The iden-
298tity of Golovionomyces on Ageratum conyzoides and Bidens
299pilosa in Thailand is unclear, since they are clearly different
300from G. ambrosiae andprobablyalsodistinctfrom
301G. spadiceus, and can currently only be classified as
302Golovinomyces sp. Further research is necessary. For the fun-
303gus on Ageratum conyzoides (Eupatorieae), the name
304Euoidium agerati (J.M. Yen) U. Braun & R.T.A. Cook, de-
305scribed on this host from Taiwan, is available (Braun and

324 Notes Golovinomyces ambrosiae and G. orontii have
325 been recorded on Helianthus spp. (Braun and Cook 2012).
326 These two species differ from each other by the shape of foot
327 cells; G. ambrosiae has straight in the base of foot cells,
328 G. orontii has curved foot cells. The morphological
329 characteristics of the current specimen are more similar
330 to G. ambrosiae than to G. orontii due to having straight foot
331 cells and broad conidia, 2540 × (10)1523(25) μmin

416 The asexual morph of the powdery mildew found in Thailand
417 on L. indica having conidiophores arising laterally and from the
418 upper surface of hyphae. However, some previous reports men-
419 tioned that the conidiophores of G. orontii obtained from
420 Lactuca spp. are only arising laterally, thus producing curved
421 foot cells (Braun and Cook 2012;Parketal.2015;Choetal.
422 2016). In addition, the identification as G. orontii has been
423 confirmed by means of molecular sequence analyses (see Fig.
424 1). Vági et al. (2007)reportedGolovinomyces sp. on Tor e n i a
425 fournieri from Hungary. The morphology of the specimen on
426 Torenia fournieri from Thailand is similar to the fungus col-
427 lected in Hungary, and a sequence retrieved from this collection
428 clusters within G. orontii group 3 according to Takamatsu et al.
429 (2013). Vigna umbellata was previously unknown as host of
430 Golovinomyces spp. The sequences of the powdery mildews
431 from C. grandis and V. umbellata belong to the big G. orontii
432 complex and form a clade of its own with 94% BS support
433 (Fig. 1). These hosts are new to Thailand.

619 Notes Golovinomyces cichoracearum s. lat. has been
620 recorded on the asclepidaceous hosts Asclepias syriaca L.
621 and A. tuberosa L. and G.orontii on A. incarnata L. and
622 Hoya carnosa (L.) R.Br. (Farr and Rossman 2017), but
623 Lygisma inflexum has not yet been listed as host of any
624 Golovinomyces species (Braun and Cook 2012). This is the
625 first record of powdery mildews on L. inflexum. Although
626 DNA isolation of this specimen failed, based on conidial
627 chains with sinuous edge lines and conidia without fibrosin
628 bodies, this powdery mildew is assigned to the genus
629 Golovinomyces.

The Golovinomyces cichoracearum complex is morphologically highly variable and causes powdery mildew on a wide range of Compositae, including Hieracium spp. and Lapsana communis. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Golovinomyces, published in 2013, revealed that G. cichoracearum s. str. was confined to Scorzonera and Tragopogon spp. as hosts (Compositae, tribe Lactuceae, subtribe Scorzonerinae). To clarify the phylogeny and taxonomy of Golovinomyces on Hieracium spp. (Compositae, tribe Lactuceae, subtribe Hieraciinae), which is common in Asia and Europe, morphology and phylogenetic analyses of ITS + 28S rDNA sequences were conducted for 57 powdery mildew specimens of Hieracium spp. and Lapsana communis. Golovinomyces on Hieracium spp. in Asia and Europe, previously referred to as G. cichoracearum, is a previously undescribed, cryptic species, which is described here as Golovinomyces hieraciorum sp. nov.. Since a sequence retrieved from a powdery mildew on Lapsana communis in Switzerland clustered in sister position to the G. hieraciorum clade, numerous German specimens identified as G. cichoracearum were included in the present examinations. All the re-examined collections of “G. cichoracearum” on L. communis were misidentified, and were shown to belong to Neoërysiphe nevoi or Podosphaera ergerontis-canadensis.

Information on the record of Phyllactinia moricola, a new in Ukraine alien powdery mildew fungus, is reported. The teleomorph of the fungus was collected in October–December 2020 on Morus alba in Odesa. The description and illustrations of the studied material are provided. The disease caused by this species can significantly reduce the ornamental properties of mulberry, a popular plant that is often used in greenery in the settlements of Ukraine. It is noted that the fungus can spread to Southern Europe, where it may cause significant damage to horticulture and silk production.
... Golovinomyces is characterized by having chasmothecia with mycelioid appendages, several, mostly 2spored asci, an asexual morph with catenescent conidia that lack fibrosin bodies, and mostly nipple-shaped appressoria. Golovinomyces currently encompasses 57 species and 5 varieties [1,[8][9][10][11][12][13]. Erysiphe cichoracearum [14] included nearly all of the species that are now assigned to Golovinomyces. ...
... The morphological differences used to differentiate the species include above all, much broader conidia and dimorphic germ tubes belonging to the longitubus pattern within the Euoidium type of conidial germination in G. ambrosiae than in G. spadiceus [1]. Additional research has found G. spadiceus to be extremely plurivorous, occurring on hosts of the Heliantheae and other tribes of Asteraceae, e.g., Aster and Chrysanthemum [19], Chrysogonum [28], as well hosts of various other plant families, including Abelmoschus (Malvaceae) [29], Crotalaria (Fabaceae) [13], Persicaria (Polygonaceae) [11,13,30], Solanum (Solanaceae) [13], and Verbena (Verbenaceae) [13]. The taxonomic interpretation of the inclusion of a sequence obtained from a Japanese collection of powdery mildew on Eupatorium chinense in lineage III [19] caused an additional problem and raised the question whether the name G. circumfusus, originally described from Europe on Eupatorium cannabinum, is included in this species complex. ...

Background: Previous phylogenetic analyses of species within the genus Golovinomyces (Ascomycota, Erysiphales), based on ITS and 28S rDNA sequence data, revealed a co-evolutionary relationship between powdery mildew species and hosts of certain tribes of the plant family Asteraceae. Golovinomyces growing on host plants belonging to the Heliantheae formed a single lineage, comprised of a morphologically differentiated complex of species, which included G. ambrosiae, G. circumfusus, and G. spadiceus. However, the lineage also encompassed sequences retrieved from Golovinomyces specimens on other Asteraceae tribes as well as other plant families, suggesting the involvement of a plurivorous species. A multilocus phylogenetic examination of this complex, using ITS, 28S, IGS (intergenic spacer), TUB2 (beta-tubulin), and CHS1 (chitin synthase I) sequence data was carried out to clarify the discrepancies between ITS and 28S rDNA sequence data and morphological differences. Furthermore, the circumscription of species and their host ranges were emended. Results: The phylogenetic and morphological analyses conducted in this study revealed three distinct species named, viz., (1) G. ambrosiae emend. (including G. spadiceus), a plurivorous species that occurs on a multitude of hosts including, Ambrosia spp., multiple species of the Heliantheae and plant species of other tribes of Asteraceae including the Asian species of Eupatorium; (2) G. latisporus comb. nov. (≡ Oidium latisporum), the closely related, but morphologically distinct species confined to hosts of the Heliantheae genera Helianthus, Zinnia, and most likely Rudbeckia; and (3) G. circumfusus confined to Eupatorium cannabinum in Europe. Conclusions: The present results provide strong evidence that the combination of multi-locus phylogeny and morphological analysis is an effective way to identify species in the genus Golovinomyces.

In March 2021, severe signs of powdery mildew were observed on leaves and stems of Coccinia grandis in the Manchar, Pune District, Maharashtra state, India. Based on morphological examination, phylogenetic analyses, and pathogenicity test, the causal agent of powdery mildew on Coccinia grandis was identified as Golovinomyces tabaci. To our knowledge, this is the first record of G. tabaci infecting C. grandis in India. Previously, G. tabaci had only been reported on C. grandis from Taiwan and Thailand.

Cucurbitaceae is the vegetable family enriched with numerous vitamins and minerals. In early rainy season cucurbits are the host of different fungal pathogens. In present study, four fungal diseases dominant on three members of cucurbitaceae family are observed in Bhoranj block of District Hamirpur, lie in lower foot hills of Himachal Pradesh. Four fungal diseases along with host plants are leaf spot of Lagenaria siceraria, downy mildews of Cucumis sativus, powdery mildews of Coccinia grandis and powdery mildews of Cucumis sativus. Among all these diseases, Disease Incidence and Disease Severity of Powdery mildews of Coccinia grandis are most dominant i.e. 40.3±1 and 51.2±1 respectively. Disease Incidence and Disease Severity of Leaf spot of Lagenaria siceraria is least i.e. 12.5±1 and 1.1±1, respectively.
... Golovinomyces bolayi on Lactuca spp. is common and widespread in Europe and parts of Asia (according to the geographical distribution of their host plants); e.g. it has been recently described in Thailand (Meeboon et al., 2018), on L. sativa var. ramosa in China , and on L. sativa in Korea . ...

The present work summarizes important new information and results focused on powdery mildew occurring on the genus Lactuca from a growing body, including long-term research. This plant genus is host to at least three biologically and ecologically different genera of powdery mildew: Golovinomyces (U. Braun) Heluta, Podosphaera Kunze, and Leveillula G. Arnaud. The taxonomy, distribution, morphology, and biology of Golovinomyces bolayi, Podosphaera xanthii, Leveillula lactucae-serriolae, and L. lactucarum are also discussed, along with the threat they pose to Lactuca spp., as well as methods of control. A deeper understanding has only been obtained in the Lactuca spp. – Golovinomyces bolayi pathosystem. The results of 20 years of study into the occurrence of G. bolayi in wild L. serriola populations in the Czech Republic found that the percentage of L. serriola populations infected by G. bolayi (disease incidence) varied considerably between 29 and 75.2% over the reporting period. Although this powdery mildew appears to prefer warmer temperatures (about 20 °C) and lower precipitation, it is hard to discern a direct relationship between meteorological data and disease occurrence. Study of the pathogenic variability of G. bolayi isolates from the Czech Republic between 2008 and 2017 (on a unified and stable differential set of 13 genotypes of genus Lactuca spp.) confirmed that G. bolayi isolates represented different combinations of reaction patterns on the Lactuca spp. differential set. However, isolates virulent on all 13 genotypes (i.e. super-race) were recorded very sporadically. Moving forward, studies of the mechanisms and genetics of resistance are greatly needed.
... Many powdery mildew species have recently been identified by using a combination of morphological examinations of the asexual morph and molecular analyses in Thailand (e.g. Takamatsu 2015, 2016;Meeboon et al. 2017Meeboon et al. , 2018Takamatsu 2016, 2017a, b, c, d). Previous studies revealed that the asexual morph of E. quercicola may occur on a wide range of woody plants including various tropical fruit trees (Baiswar et al. 2015;Cardoso et al. 2017;Cho et al. 2018;Desprez-Loustau et al. 2017;Fonseca et al. 2019;Kirschner and Liu 2014;Limkaisang et al. 2006Limkaisang et al. , 2005Siahaan et al. 2016;Takamatsu et al. 2018;Tam 2017). ...

Between 2002 and 2017, asexual morphs of powdery mildews (Erysiphales) were collected in Thailand from the following hosts: Cassia fistula, Castanopsis argyrophylla, Durio zibethinus, Jatropha curcas, Kydia calycina, Hevea brasiliensis, Hodgsonia macrocarpa, Mallotus philippinensis, Mimosa pudica, Nephelium lappaceum, Tamarindus indica and Ziziphus jujuba. Combined molecular and morphological analyses revealed that all these specimens belong to Erysiphe quercicola. Sequences retrieved from these powdery mildews are nested within the E. quercicola clade. These results show that Erysiphe quercicola may form its asexual morph on a very broad range of hosts belonging to various plant families, particularly in the tropics, in contrast to its sexual morph which is confined to oak species (Quercus, Fagaceae). Cassia fistula, Castanopsis argyrophylla, J. curcas, K. calycina, H. macrocarpa, M. philippinensis, M. pudica, T. indica and Z. jujuba are new host records for E. quercicola worldwide.

Powdery mildews are important obligate biotrophic ectoparasites that cause severe damage to various plant species in Southeast Asia. So far, 14 genera and 96 species of powdery mildew have been reported in Southeast Asia, with Thailand having the most number of recorded species. Of the 14 genera reported, Oidium sp. had the most recorded host, including several important species of vegetables, fruits, vines, herbs, field crops, ornamentals, and tree species. This paper briefly reviews the knowledge of powdery mildew disease in Southeast Asia, focusing on the pathogens' host range, impact, and some sources of resistance to powdery mildew.

A novel powdery mildew disease was observed on chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Brazil. The morphological features of fungal colonies and conidia were in agreement with those typical for the genus Leveillula. The total DNA of three field‐collected samples were used as template in PCR assays with the pair of primer PMITS1 and PMITS2, targeting the internal transcribed space (ITS) region of Erysiphales isolates. Amplicons were Sanger sequenced and their BLAST analysis revealed 100% identity with a large number of L. taurica (lato sensu, Clade 1) isolates from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the pathogen identification. Equivalent symptoms were observed on chickpea seedlings after controlled inoculation, fulfilling the Koch's postulates. Leveillula taurica (lato sensu, Clade 1) isolates have been reported infecting Fabaceae hosts worldwide, including chickpeas in North America, Africa and Asia. However, this is the first record of L. taurica infecting this crop in Brazil and South America.

Powdery mildews are a monophyletic group of obligate plant pathogenic fungi in the family Erysiphaceae. Powdery mildews are economically important in that they cause damage to many agriculturally significant crops and plants in ecologically important habitats. In this contribution, we introduce a new series of publications focusing on the phylogeny and taxonomy of this group, with an emphasis on specimens collected from North America. The first part of the series focuses on the genus Golovinomyces and includes a section detailing the powdery mildew species concept. We conducted analyses of Golovinomyces spp. with available rDNA sequence data from GenBank and supplemented the data set with rDNA (ITS, 28S, IGS) as well as protein-coding (GAPDH) data from 94 North American collections. Many of the species evaluated are included in phylogenetic and morphological analyses for the first time, including the American species G. americanus, G. brunneopunctatus, G. californicus, G. greeneanus, G. hydrophyllacearum, and G. sparsus. A special emphasis was placed on acquiring ex-type or ex-epitype sequences or presenting reference sequences for phylogenetic-taxonomic purposes. Three new species, G. eurybiarum, G. galiorum, and G. malvacearum, are described, and the new combinations G. fuegianus, G. mutisiae, and G. reginae are introduced. Ex-holotype sequences of Erysiphe sparsa (≡ G. sparsus) reveal that it should be reduced to synonymy with G. ambrosiae, and ex-epitype sequences of G. valerianae reveal that it should be reduced to synonymy with G. orontii. Multiple epitypes are designated with ex-epitype sequences.

A new powdery mildew record and a new species from Thailand are reported in this paper. A fungus found on Eucalyptus camaldulensis has an internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence identical to Erysiphe elevata recorded on Catalpa spp. in North America and Europe. Conidia produced singly with Pseudoidium-type germ tubes, and kinked foot cells of conidiophores are also consistent with the morphology of asexual stage of E. elevata. This is the first record of E. elevata on Eucalyptus and from Asia. A new species Phyllactinia lagerstroemiae is proposed for the fungus found on Lagerstroemia spp. based on combinations of morphological data and molecular phylogeny inferred from ITS and 28S rRNA gene sequences.

With the change to one scientific name for fungal species, numerous papers have been published with recommendations for use or protection of competing generic names in major groups of ascomycetes. Although genera in each group of fungi were carefully considered, some competing generic names were overlooked. This paper makes recommendations for additional competing genera not considered in previous papers. Chairs of relevant Working Groups of the ICTF were consulted in the development of these recommendations. A number of generic names need protection, specifically Amarenographium over Amarenomyces, Amniculicola over Anguillospora, Balansia over Ephelis, Claviceps over Sphacelia, Drepanopeziza over Gloeosporidiella and Gloeosporium, Golovinomyces over Euoidium, Holwaya over Crinium, Hypocrella over Aschersonia, Labridella over Griphosphaerioma, Metacapnodium over Antennularia, and Neonectria over Cylindrocarpon and Heliscus. The following new combinations are made: Amniculicola longissima, Atichia maunauluana, Diaporthe columnaris, D. liquidambaris, D. longiparaphysata, D. palmicola, D. tersa, Elsinoë bucidae, E.caricae, E. choisyae, E. paeoniae, E. psidii, E. zorniae, Eupelte shoemakeri, Godronia myrtilli, G. raduloides, Sarcinella mirabilis, S. pulchra, Schizothyrium jamaicense, and Trichothallus niger. Finally, one new species name, Diaporthe azadirachte, is introduced to validate an earlier name, and the conservation of Discula with a new type, D. destructiva, is recommended.

The Golovinomyces biocellatus complex consists of powdery mildew (Erysiphales) species restricted to hosts of the family Lamiaceae. Previous authors used minor morphological features of the sexual state and host range data to split the complex. The data, however, were not sufficient to define a convincing species concept. Our taxonomic study is based on molecular phylogenetic and asexual state morphology data. For morphological studies, mainly features of the asexual morph (conidiophores, conidia, germination patterns) were studied using light and scanning electron microscopy. Detailed line drawings of asexual state features are provided. For phylogenetic analyses, two markers (rDNA: ITS, LSU) of 64 specimens were applied. The phylogeny resulted in two major clades. Clade I consists of specimens with Lamiaceae hosts and three specimens of Verbena. Clade II consists of two sister groups, the first (IIa) with Salvia spp. and the second (IIb) with Lycopus europaeus (the type host G. biocellatus) and Glechoma. Clades I and IIb and two subclades of IIa with Salvia hosts are characterized by specific morphological traits (differences in conidiophore length, conidial shape, width, and germination patterns). Based on these data, we suggest to consider specimens of clades I (including specimens on Verbena) and IIb and the two subclades of IIa as distinct species, namely G. monardae, G. biocellatus, G. salviae, and G. neosalviae sp. nov. A key for the identification of species based on asexual state features is provided. The results are discussed with respect to host range, jumps, co-evolutionary aspects, and distribution patterns.

The recently-developed statistical method known as the "bootstrap" can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies. It involves resampling points from one's own data, with replacement, to create a series of bootstrap samples of the same size as the original data. Each of these is analyzed, and the variation among the resulting estimates taken to indicate the size of the error involved in making estimates from the original data. In the case of phylogenies, it is argued that the proper method of resampling is to keep all of the original species while sampling characters with replacement, under the assumption that the characters have been independently drawn by the systematist and have evolved independently. Majority-rule consensus trees can be used to construct a phylogeny showing all of the inferred monophyletic groups that occurred in a majority of the bootstrap samples. If a group shows up 95% of the time or more, the evidence for it is taken to be statistically significant. Existing computer programs can be used to analyze different bootstrap samples by using weights on the characters, the weight of a character being how many times it was drawn in bootstrap sampling. When all characters are perfectly compatible, as envisioned by Hennig, bootstrap sampling becomes unnecessary; the bootstrap method would show significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

During autumn 2014, powdery mildew with ∼5% disease incidence was found on leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) grown in polyethylene-film-covered greenhouses in Seoul, Korea. Infections caused leaf distortions, withering, and reduced growth. Mycelia were amphigenous, thinly effuse, initially forming indistinct white patches, finally covering whole leaf surfaces and stems. Appressoria on the mycelium were nipple-shaped or occasionally moderately lobed. Conidiophores were 100 to 260 × 10 to 12 μm, arising laterally from hyphal mother cells, and produced 2 to 6 immature conidia in chains with a sinuate outline, followed by 2 to 3 cells. Foot-cells of the conidiophores were 35 to 65 μm long, and characterized by having a distinctly curved base. Conidia were hyaline, ellipsoid to ovate, 30 to 43 × 13 to 18 μm with a length/width ratio of 1.7 to 3.2, and lacked distinct fibrosin bodies. Germ tubes were produced on the perihilar or lateral position of conidia. No chasmothecia were observed. Three voucher specimens were deposited in the Korea University Herbarium (Accession Nos. KUS-F28522, F28575, and F28576). The morphological characteristics were typical of the Euoidium anamorph of the genus Golovinomyces. The measurements and morphology were consistent with G. orontii (Castagne) V.P. Heluta (Braun and Cook 2012). To confirm the identification, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA of isolate KUS-F28576 was amplified with universal primers ITS1/ITS4 and sequenced directly. The resulting 682-bp sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. KT964904). A BLAST search of this sequence revealed >99% similarity with the ITS sequences of G. orontii isolates on L. sativa from Japan (AB769447) and L. serriola from Korea (KP260660). Pathogenicity was confirmed by gently dusting a diseased leaf onto leaves of five healthy potted leaf lettuces. Five noninoculated plants served as controls. Plants were maintained in a greenhouse at 24 to 30°C. Inoculated plants developed signs and symptoms after 4 days; control plants remained symptomless. The fungus from the inoculated plants was identical morphologically to that observed from initially diseased plants. Association of L. sativa with Golovinomyces powdery mildews has been known in many European countries, South Africa, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Australia, Israel, and Japan (Farr and Rossman 2015). To our knowledge, this is the first report of powdery mildew caused by G. orontii on L. sativa in Korea. Previously, Podosphaera xanthii (syn. P. fusca) has been known to be associated with powdery mildew infections of leaf lettuce with economic losses in Korea (Jee et al. 2006; Shin et al. 2006). Therefore, lettuce powdery mildew disease in Korea could be caused by one or both of the two mildew fungi, although G. orontii is comparatively rare. This information may help lettuce growers and breeders in disease monitoring. © 2016, American Phytopathological Society. All rights reserved.
