Phloeospora mori (Lév.) Sacc. 1884

Notes

Records in the herbarium, Plant Diseases Division, Auckland, show that this fungus occurs on mulberry leaves throughout the North Island. It may cause early defoliation of the trees.

Phloeospora maculans (Berenger) Allesch. 1900 [1901]

Description

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata acervular, gregarious, subepidermal, pustulate, more or less circular, brown, up to 0.2 mm in diameter; on greyish to yellowish leaf spots with brown margins, on the upper surfaces of leaves. Conidia cylindrical, straight, 2–4-septate, 29–55 × 4–5 μm, tapered towards the apex, smooth, hyaline.

Distribution

Distribution: Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Wanganui, Nelson.; 1st Record: Brien & Dingley (1955: as Mycosphaerella alba).

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: A leaf spot having little significance in New Zealand. It is of concern in countries where silkworm culture is an important industry because silkworms will not eat mulberry leaves infected by the fungus.; Host(s): Morus alba, M. nigra.

Notes

Notes: This genus is introduced to accommodate the species Phloeospora maculans that is not congeneric with the type of Phloeospora, Phloeospora ulmi, and clusters in a single strain lineage in the phylogenetic analyses performed in this study (Fig. 1, clade 55; Fig. 2, clade 19). Morphologically, Neophloeospora can be distinguished from Phloeospora by the subhyaline to pale brown conidia constricted at the septum.
