Differential Resistance to Botryosphaeria ribis Among Cercis Taxa

The eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis L.) is a popular woody ornamental plant native to eastern North America that is planted in the landscape chiefly for its showy early spring bloom. The genus Cercis (family Fabaceae) contains, depending on author, 7 to 13 species or subspecies that occur in North America, Europe, and Asia (4,7,8). Species range in size from small shrubs to trees, tolerate fu...

First record of Botryosphaeria ribis associated with leaf spots on Magnolia aff. candollei in Brazil

A leaf spot disease was observed attacking some Magnolia aff. candollei plants grown in a private garden in the city of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Such leaf spots coalesced and led to extensive blight of foliage. A fungus was clearly associated to the disease symptoms and was identified as Botryosphaeria ribis. Its anamorph, Fusicoccum ribis, was also present, although less abundant than the t...

The Role of Endogenous Phenolics in Host Plant Resistance Among Malus Taxa to Japanese Beetles

Nature of Work: Japanese beetles (JB), Popillia japonica Newman, are destructive, highly polyphagus herbivores that show a general preference for plants in the Rosaceae family. Although Malus taxa are often found to be susceptible to JB, there are substantial differences in resistance among Malus species and cultivars (1,2). In a prior study, total phenolic levels in Malus were not correlated w...
