“…The chronology of reports in Europe is consistent with a natural spread of this rust from northern European countries across Central-East and Southern Europe, down to Turkey [5][6][7][8]. This sudden migration through continental Europe, across latitudinal and altitudinal gradients, was probably facilitated by the wide occurrence of broadleaf and conifer pathogen hosts that may have favored its survival and further dispersal.…”

Melampsoridium hiratsukanum is an alien rust fungus which has spread pervasively throughout several European countries following introduction into North Europe at the end of the 20th century. The authenticity of several records of the Melampsoridium species infecting alder (Alnus spp.) in the northern hemisphere is questionable, due to the misidentification and confusion that surround many of the older reports. Given this complicated taxonomic history, and since a M. hiratsukanum-like rust is strongly impacting Alnus incana stands in the Alps, probably affecting the bank protection role of this species along rivers, the unambiguous identification of this pathogen was a pressing epidemiological and ecological issue. In this study, field surveys, light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and molecular characterization were put together in an attempt to solve the conundrum. Field monitoring data, LM and SEM analyses of key taxonomic traits (length of ostiolar cells of uredinium, uredinio-spore shape and size, spore echinulation, number and position of germ pores) and ITS-rDNA sequence-based identification, convergently and unambiguously connected the rust that is causing the current epidemic to the non-native M. hiratsukanum. We documented the completion of the M. hiratsukanum life cycle on its two taxonomically unrelated broadleaf/conifer hosts. This is the first report of M. hiratsukanum from naturally infected Larix decidua in Europe.

“…New species of phytopathogenic fungi from the order Pucciniales as well as new hosts for this group of parasitic fungi have been increasingly noted in recent years in Europe, including Poland [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. It results from the intensification of research addressing parasite microfungi and factors that facilitate the spreading of this group of plant pathogens onto new areas and new hosts.…”

Puccinia passerinii (Pucciniales) on Thesium ebracteatum in the Biebrza National Park – new data on its distribution in Central Europe

2017

This work provides a morphological description of a parasitic fungus Puccinia passerinii Schroet. discovered in the Biebrza National Park on bractless toadflax Thesium ebracteatum Hayne, a host plant listed in Appendix II of the Habitat Directive and strictly protected in Poland. Puccinia passerinii was recorded in 1916 within the borders of current-day Poland, however, owing to a lack of herbarial materials it was not included into the checklist of Polish microscopic fungi. This work is the first report, after 100 years, on the appearance of this species in Poland, which enlarges the list of microfungi in this country and particularly in the Biebrza National Park. Moreover, a common parasite of rust fungi -Sphaerellopsis filum (Biv.) B. Sutton is reported for the first time on P. passerinii.

An invasive East Asian rust fungus Melampsoridium hiratsukanum, obligate biotroph belonging to Pucciniastraceae, Pucciniales (Basidiomycota) is found widely spread on leaves of Alnus incana in eastern, central and southern parts of Lithuania. On Alnus glutinosa this fungus is rare, sometimes occurring with an alder leaf pest, a microscopic eriophyid gall mite Acalitus brevitarsus. Information on the distribution patterns, ecological and morphological characters of this neomycete is given.
