First Report of Powdery Mildew on Dollar-plant (Crassula ovata) Caused by an Oidium sp

Dollar-plant (Crassula ovata) is a perennial, succulent ornamental grown worldwide. In 1998, powdery mildew colonies were observed on the adaxial leaf surfaces of a 4-year-old specimen maintained outdoors. Symptoms included necrosis of the infected tissues and defoliation 2 months after the appearan...

520 |a Dollar-plant (Crassula ovata) is a perennial, succulent ornamental grown worldwide. In 1998, powdery mildew colonies were observed on the adaxial leaf surfaces of a 4-year-old specimen maintained outdoors. Symptoms included necrosis of the infected tissues and defoliation 2 months after the appearance of the first colonies. Conidia were produced in chains on unbranched conidiophores. Hyphal appressoria were lobed to multi-lobed, mostly opposite or spread. Conidia were ellipsoid to cylindrical, measured 34 to 48 μm × 17 to 26 μm, and contained no fibrosin bodies. On water agar, conidia produced a single germ tube from the end of the conidium. Germ tubes were either very short with lobed appressoria, or were two to three times longer than conidia, and terminated in lobed or unlobed appressoria. Cleistothecia were not produced. The pathogen was identified as an Oidium sp. belonging to the genus Erysiphe sect. Galeopsidis (1). To confirm pathogenicity, small, potted C. ovata plants were placed near the diseased plant in the laboratory. After 2 weeks, powdery mildew appeared on the small plants, and the pathogen was morphologically identical to the original fungus. This is the first report of a powdery mildew fungus on C. ovata, and it is different from both species of the Erysiphaceae identified on other Crassula spp. (1,2). Infected C. ovata leaves were deposited at the Department of Botany of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest under the accession number BP 91732. References: (1) U. Braun. 1995.
