Records of phytopathogenic fungal species on native plants new to Croatia

In the period 2007-2012, the occurrence of phytopathogenic fungi on native plant species in natural ecosystems and urban environments was investigated in diff erent locations of Croatia (national parks, nature parks etc.). Identification of fungal plant pathogenic species was performed on the basis of morphological charactericsof their spore-bearing structures and spores. A relatively great number of plant pathogenic fungal species was determined (over 150 species), out of which 12 species were determined for the first time in Croatia. These were the following: Cercospora bolleana, Cercospora violae, Cercospora scandens, Coniothyrina agaves, Erysiphe aquilegiae, Erysiphe sedi, Erysiphe buhrii, Hainesia lythri, Microsphaeropsis hellebore, Pseudocercospora ceratoniae, Septoria cyclaminis and Septoria primulicola. Considering the relatively limited data on the occurrence of phytopathogenic fungi in Croatia, these findings present a significant contribution to the knowledge of the biodiversity of fungi in Croatia. Some of the plant species like Helleborus odorus and H. atrorubens are recorded as new host plants for certain species of fungi.
