Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of ascomycete fungi in the order Erysiphales . Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as the signs of the causal pathogen are quite distinctive.
Erysiphe platani, also known as sycamore powdery mildew, is a fungus native to North America that now infects sycamore tree species worldwide. [2] Infections may spread rapidly in urban settings with large groups of young trees or in plant nurseries. [3] This mildew thrives when there are high humidity conditions during the growing season.

A study of ribosomal DNA from 33 samples of oak powdery mildew from Europe showed that E. alphitoides contains identical sequences to Oïdium mangiferae, a major disease of mango in several tropical regions and Oïdium heveae, an economically important pathogen of the para rubber tree.
That’s powdery mildew, a fungus that affects a wide range of fruits, vegetables and flowers, coating their leaves, stems, blossoms and, in severe cases, entire plants. It isn’t pretty.
Oidium mangiferae is a plant pathogen that infects mango trees causing powdery mildew. [1] Powdery mildew of mango is an Ascomycete pathogen of the Erysiphales family that was initially described by Berthet in 1914, using samples collected from Brazil. [2]
Powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) – P. pannosa produces a very fine, powdery coating on the surface of buds and leaves. Significant cases have stems and particularly thorns, infected. Significant cases have stems and particularly thorns, infected.
Ampelomyces quisqualis is a mycoparasite of powdery mildews. It overwinters or survives in the absence of a suitable host as pycnidia. Raindrops cause conidia to be expelled from ripe pycnidia and these may splash onto nearby powdery mildew. Infection is favoured by humid conditions and temperatures in the range 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F) and ...
Many of them cause tree diseases, such as Dutch elm disease and apple blights. Some of the plant pathogenic ascomycetes are apple scab, rice blast, the ergot fungi, black knot, and the powdery mildews. The yeasts are used to produce alcoholic beverages and breads. The mold Penicillium is used to produce the antibiotic penicillin.
