Short Communication: Some additions to powdery mildews (Erysiphales: Fungi) of Northwestern Himalayas
No full textGautam AK, Avasthi S. 2017. Short Communication: Some additions to powdery mildews (Erysiphales: Fungi) of Northwestern Himalayas. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 52-56. During the regular mycological collections, between October to December 2015 in North-West Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, four powdery mildews parasitic on higher plants were gathered. After study they were found to be Pseudoidium cryptolepidis on Cryptolepis buchanani, Erysiphe trifoliorum on Trifolium repentis, Podosphaera xanthii on Coreopsis lanceolata and Podosphaera euphorbiae-hirtae on Euphorbia hirta. All the powdery mildew fungi are additions to Himachal Pradesh as well as north-west Himalayas.</jats:p
Fungi associated with Pistacia integerrima with a description of a new species and one new record from India
No full textPistacia integerrima is a deciduous tree species belonging to the family Anacardiaceae. The plant possesses numerous phytochemicals of ethno-medicinal importance. In a routine mycological survey carried out from July 2013 to June 2014, leaves of P. integerrima were found infected with fungi causing rust and blight diseases. The morphological and microscopic observations revealed three fungi, namely Skierka himalayensis, Pestalotiopsis sp., and Pileolaria pistaciae, which were found to cause rust and blight diseases. One new species of rust fungi, namely Skierka himalayensis sp. nov., and Pestalotiopsis sp. are reported for the first time from India. The detailed descriptions and illustrations of these three phytopathogenic fungi are provided in this paper
Discovery of Puccinia tiliaefolia (Pucciniales) in Northwestern Himalayas, India
No full textAbstract
A rust infection was recently observed on Grewia tiliifolia Vahl during an exploration of rust fungi in Himachal Pradesh, India, in October 2015. An examination identified the rust fungus as Puccinia tiliaefolia T. S. Ramakr. & Sundaram. This finding represents a new record for the northwestern Himalayas and the first finding of Puccinia tiliaefolia in India in the last 46 years. A geographical distribution map of P. tiliaefolia is presented.</jats:p
Ampelomyces quisqualis Ces. – a mycoparasite of Euphorbia hirta powdery mildew in Himachal Pradesh, India
No full textMycoparasitism is defined as the association of two fungi where one acts as parasite over the other. In October 2015, a powdery mildew infection was observed on Euphorbia hirta during the routine mycological survey in district Mandi the central region of Himachal Pradesh, India. During the course of microscopic examinations infection was found mixed with another unknown fungus. Upon morphological and microscopic examinations of infection on leaves, Podosphaera euphorbiae-hirtae was identified as powdery mildew fungus mixed with a mycoparasite Ampelomyces quisqualis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of mycoparasitism of Ampelomyces quisquali on powdery mildew of Euphorbia hirta in India
Book of Abstracts: 2022 Poster Sessions. 9th Annual Conference of the Marie Curie Alumni Association, March 25-27, 2022, Lisbon, Portugal
No full textThis book collects the posters and their abstracts presented at the Annual Conference of the Marie Curie Alumni Association which took place in Lisbon (Portugal) and online on 26-27 March 2022.
Proposals that passed selection were categorised and divided into different areas approximately corresponding to the MSCA panels, which were integrated by two topics of great relevance for the MCAA. Since the conference was organised as a hybrid event, authors had the possibility to either present in person or online. The presential panel included posters from all the areas. As for the online panels, some topics were merged into a single panel or spread over two panels for better organisation. The final distribution was the following:
Presential
Engineering
Chemistry & Physics
Social Sciences & Humanities
Life Sciences
Environmental Sustainability, Economics, Sustainable Research Practice
Humanities and Arts, Career Development, Sustainable Research Practice
Each panel corresponds to a macro-section of this book. Within each macro-section, a poster page includes an abstract, an image of the poster, and information about the author(s) and their organisation(s).

First report of Cladosporium sphaerospermum causing leaf spot disease of Aloe vera in India
No full textFirst report of leaf spot disease of Aloe vera caused by Fusarium proliferatum in India
No full textSevere leaf spot disease was observed on Aloe vera plants in the winters of 2011 and 2012
during a survey of various nurseries of Gwalior, India. Irregular, sunken, dark creamish
brown spots having reddish brown margin were noticed on both surfaces of the leaves. The
causal organism was consistently isolated from symptomatic leaves on potato dextrose agar
media (PDA). A total 59 isolates of fungi were recovered from diseased A. vera leaves, and
37 isolates were identified as belonging to the genus Fusarium. On the basis of morphological
characteristics and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA amplified using
the primers ITS4/ITS5 the pathogen was identified as Fusarium proliferatum (Matsushima)
Nirenberg and pathogenicity of the isolate was confirmed by using Koch’s postulates. To
the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of leaf spot disease caused by Fusarium
proliferatum on A. vera plants in India
