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 ...
A mycoparasite is an organism with the ability to parasitize fungi. Mycoparasites might be biotrophic or necrotrophic, ...
Downy mildew on hops is caused by the pathogen Pseudoperonospora humuli, an oomycete protist. P. humuli is an obligate biotrophic pathogen, meaning that it can only live and grow in living host tissue. P. humuli, like most downy mildews, is highly host-specific and thus will only infect hop (Humulus lupulus) and also Japanese hop (Humulus ...
Erysiphales are obligate parasites on leaves and fruits of higher plants, causing diseases called powdery mildews. Most attempts to grow them in culture have failed. [3] Erysiphales have a nearly cosmopolitan distribution, [4] and have developed fungicide resistance just as widely. [5] Total loss of function has resulted in some cases. [5]
Some downy mildew genera have a more restricted host range, e.g. Basidiophora, Paraperonospora, Protobremia and Bremia on Asteraceae; Perofascia and Hyaloperonospora almost only on Brassicaceae; Viennotia, Graminivora, Poakatesthia, Sclerospora and Peronosclerospora on Poaceae, and Plasmoverna on Ranunculaceae.
Microfungi or micromycetes are fungi—eukaryotic organisms such as molds, mildews and rusts—which have microscopic spore-producing structures. [1] They exhibit tube tip-growth and have cell walls composed of chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine.
Erysiphe cruciferarum is a plant pathogen of the family Erysiphaceae, which causes the main powdery mildew of crucifers, including on Brassica crops, such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. [3]
Meliolales is a fungal order in the class Sordariomycetes. [1] Meliolales, also known as black mildews, are obligate parasitic ascomycetous fungi that are found in the tropics and subtropics on leaves, twigs, and sometimes fruit of vascular plants.
