The pathogen Podosphaera xanthii was identified infecting the native Australian plant Elatostema reticulatum, marking the first record of powdery mildew infection on this plant species. This powdery mildew species has a worldwide distribution and broad host range.
Powdery mildew-infected rainforest spinach (Elatostema reticulatum) plants were found in Queensland, Australia. Based on morphology and nrDNA ITS sequence analyses, the pathogen was identified as Podosphaera xanthii, a powdery mildew species with a worldwide distribution and a broad host range. This is the first record of P. xanthii infecting E. reticulatum, and the first powdery mildew infection recorded for this native Australian plant.
