Orobanche laxissima Uhlich & Rätzel (Orobanchaceae) is a polyphagous root parasitic plant distributed in the Caucasus Mountains and Transcaucasia; especially Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, N.E. Turkey (Piwowarczyk et al. 2019). It infects many wild or sometimes cultivated trees and shrubs, such as Betulaceae, Oleaceae, Fagaceae, Aceraceae, Cornaceae, usually Fraxinus L., Fagus L., Carpinus L. (Piwowarczyk et al. 2019, 2020). Punica granatum L. (Lythraceae), commonly known as pomegranate, is native to the Caucasus, the Himalayas in North Pakistan and Northern India, and is widely cultivated, e.g. in USA and throughout the Mediterranean. Pomegranate is one of the first domesticated fruits and have been used in folk medicine or as a food for centuries. Fruit, seed, leaves, flower, root, or barks extracts have extensive medicinal properties (Shaygannia et al. 2015). Field surveys conducted in south-eastern Georgia in May 2019 revealed extensive infestations of O. laxissima on the roots of P. granatum in onplastid gene rbcL (rubisco large subunit) was sequenced and amplified as described in Piwowarczyk et al. (2015). The sequence (1231 bp) was deposited in GenBank (MN384886). BLAST search found that it was most similar to (Query Cover 100%, Per Ident. 100%) O. laxissima (KR260928). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a O. laxissima parasitizing P. granatum. O. laxissima appearing in large numbers on singles pomegranate shrubs can weaken the plants, and reduce flowering and fruiting. In the Caucasus region, O. laxissima was observed in mesophilic forests and shrubs, but our report suggests the possibility of a potential spread to neighboring cultivated areas, especially fruit trees and shrubs. Until now, only one report of pathogenic plants was documented for P. granatum, included Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel and O. crenata Forssk. in Israel (Dor et al. 2014).Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus (Rupr. & Maxim.) S. Y. Hu, Araliaceae), is a perennial medicinal plant that is widely cultivated in China. Leaf spot was observed in 2- and 3-year-old Siberian ginseng in Zuojia County (126°05'23.2″E, 44°03'09.5″N), northeast China, in August 2019. Polygonal or irregular black spots ranging from 2 to 9 mm in diameter were found on infected leaves, and each leaf had dozens of spots. The green color around the lesions gradually faded. As the disease progressed, the spots withered and multiple lesions merged into large disease spots, causing leaf wilting (Fig. 1). More than 38% of plants in one 25-ha field were infected in 2019. Fifteen diseased leaves were collected from those plants and cut into 5-mm pieces. The pieces were surface-disinfected by immersion in 1% NaOCl for 2 min and then rinsing twice with sterile distilled water. The leaf pieces were placed on acidified potato dextrose agar (PDA, pH 4.7) in Petri plates, and incubated in the dark at 25°C. Nineteewere used to maintain high humidity. After 7 days, the inoculated plants showed lesions on the leaves, similar to those observed in the field. The control plants remained symptomless. The pathogen was reisolated and identified by sequencing. This is the first report of B.linicola causing Siberian ginseng leaf spot, and a new record of this species in China. This disease poses a threat to production and management strategies should be developed.Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) has been extensively cultivated (about 165728 hm2 recorded in 2017) and postharvest rot diseases have caused severe losses to the industry in China. In October 2019, fruit (n=60) of cv. Xuxiang (A. deliciosa) were obtained from a farm (120.62°E, 28.92°N) in Pan'an county, Zhejiang province, China. After the fruit were stored at 24 °C and 70% relative humidity (RH) for 10 days, soft lesions (20 to 45 mm in diameter) with sour odor and white mycelium were observed on ~20% of fruits (Fig. 1a). Irregular lesions were produced on the mesocarp were off-white to pale yellow (Fig. 1b). Small pieces (4×4 mm) from the lesion margins were excised, surface disinfested in 70% ethanol for 1 min and 10% NaOCl for 5 min, washed, dried, plated on PDA and incubated at 25°C for 7 days. A total of seven pure fungal colonies were obtained, and included two isolates of Nigrospora sphaerica (Li et al. 2018) and five unknown isolates. The remaining five isolates produced thin, flat, white to cream and feater, control group remained disease-free (Fig. 1j, o & p). The fungus could penetrate into fruit peel and produce spores that were visualized by scanning electron microscope (Fig.1q & r). For both isolates, the incidence of wounded fruit were 100%, and the incidence of unwounded fruit was 80%. The fungi were re-isolated from diseased tissues and re-identified as G. selleck inhibitor candidum based on morphology and sequences analyses. G. candidum causes sour rot on many hosts and similar symptom have been previously reported in other regions(Pennycook et al.1989; Horita et al. 2016; Ma, et al. 2018; Zhang et al. 2018; Khan et al. 2019; Halfeld-Vieira et al. 2020), but this is the first report of G. candidum on kiwifruit in China.Hazelnut (Corylus avellana) is widely grown in Italy, which is the second largest producer worldwide with 132,700 tonnes harvested from 78,593 hectares (FAOSTAT, 2018 ). Powdery mildew caused by Phyllactinia guttata has been reported in Italy and in other European countries, but recently in Austria, Switzerland and in central Europe a new species was discovered (Voglmayr et al., 2020; Beenken, 2020). During summer 2020, in Villar Fioccardo (Torino province, Piedmont, Italy) on hazelnut (cv. 'Tonda Gentile') growing on the edges of private gardens and parks, an extensive colonization of the adaxial side of the leaves with white powdery mycelium covering more than 80% of the surface was observed. Also, the abaxial side of the leaves showed the scattered presence of powdery, white, and thin mycelium. The powdery fungal pathogen collected from leaves had amphigenous, hyaline, branched, septate 1.5 to 3.7 μm wide mycelium; lobed, solitary hyphal appressoria; vertically elevated above the mycelium 53 to 82 μm long and 5 to 12 μm wide conidiophores (n = 30); hyaline, ellipsoid, ovoid to doliform conidia, solitary on conidiophores, 21 to 36 μm long, 15 to 21 μm wide (average 28 to 18 μm) (n = 50).
