Infection studies of Stemphylium vesicarium on onion leaves

ITS-based comparison of endophytic mycota in twigs of native Populus nigra and cultivated P. x euramericana (cv. I-214) stands in Northern Spain

“…However, three species (S. vesicarium, C. chrysosperma and B. mediterranea) can also be regarded as weak pathogens detected during latency. S. vesicarium is known as a pathogen able to cause severe damage to pear (Rossi and Pattori 2009) and onion (Aveling and Snyman 1993) amongst other species but has not previously been reported from poplar. B. mediterranea is generally known to occur in healthy living trees as an endophyte, occasionally becoming invasive under water stress conditions (Nungent et al 2005).…”

First Report of <i>Stemphylium vesicarium</i> Causing Onion Stemphylium Leaf Blight in Ethiopia

“…Stemphylium leaf blight was first identified from India in 1975 on garlic, Rao and Pavgi [8] and has subsequently been recorded in USA, Shishkoff and Lorbeer [9], South Africa, Aveling and Naude [10]; Aveling and Snyman [11], Spain, Basallote et al [12], Brazil, Boiteux et al [13] and Turkey, Polat et al [14]. The genus Stemphylium comprises 28 phylogenetically distinguished plant pathogenic species, Woudenberg et al [15].…”

Pathogenicity of Stemphylium vesicarium from different hosts causing brown spot in pear

“…Stemphylium vesicarium (teleomorph, according to current taxonomy, Pleospora allii) is a filamentous fungus able to cause disease on a range of different hosts, such as asparagus (Falloon et al 1987), garlic (Prados-Ligero et al 1998), and onion (Aveling and Snyman 1993). The morphologically-related species S. botryosum (teleomorph: P. tarda) has been found as a pathogen on several crops including asparagus (Leuprecht 1990), alfalfa (Cowling et al 1981) and spinach (Koike et al 2001).…”
