Golovinomyces longipes (Noordel. & Loer.) L. Kiss on Matricaria chamomilla L.: another host range expansion

Abstract Golovinomyces longipes is a widespread powdery mildew on Solanaceae ( Nicotiana , Petunia and Solanum spp.). In the past, it has been reported only once Verbena Verbenaceae ), non-solanaceaous host. Recently, this found composite Matricaria chamomilla . The identification of species unusual host proved by morphological studies DNA sequence analysis. Both datasets coincide with characteristic data for G. First inoculation experiments further composites resulted in an infection Brachyscome hybrid ‘Surdaisy’. To our knowledge, first report lonigpes hosts belonging to important family Asteraceae additional proof broader range beyond
