Abstract

On August 2018, an Ailanthus altissima plant showing typical symptoms of powdery mildew disease was found in a private garden in Pisa, Italy. Morphological characteristics of the anamorph and molecular sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA verified the fungus as Erysisphe platani. This is the first report of E. platani causing powdery mildew on ailanthus in the Mediterranean basin. This pathogen does not get any chance to be usable as biological control agent against the invasive tree-of-heaven.

Keywords
