Didymella applanata??
hannie wijers, 26-03-2013 12:54
Hello,

I hope anyone can help me with my "problem"
 On the branches of a blackberry bush I found this little black pimples. Under the microscope, I got the next results. Could this be a Didymella applanata? The spores were 12-16x6 uM at large magnification of 1000x


Thanks

Hannie

Hi,

no, this is a member of Amphisphaeria, please check ascus apical structures for reaction with Lugol.

regards,
björn

Re : Didymella applanata??
Björn, I hope this is what you meant? I think it's J- ?
I did it with Melzer, I don't have Lugor.

Re : Didymella applanata??
Hi,

correct, I meant this. But I cannot see wether it is positive or negative. There are several (3-4) species of Amphisphaeria with negative Lugol/Melzer reaction, like Amphisphaeria vibratilis or A. paedida.

Did the spore colour chance from brown to green in melzer?

regards,
björn

Re : Didymella applanata??
I would suggest Didymosphaeria oblitescens, if the spores have a foveate ornamentation (not clear from the images), or D. futilis.

Re : Didymella applanata??
I also thought at the genus Didymosphaeria (oblitesecens with its foveolate ascospores is fairly common on Rubus), I agree with Walter.
There is a key in Studies Mycology 37. 
We can guess ornementation on the photo of asci. How exactly is it ?

Re : Didymella applanata??

Good morning,
I downloaded the key of Didymosdphaeria. The spores didn't colour green an as Ik looked again this mornig it's still J- and  the spores have a foveate ornamentation.

Looking at the key I suggest that it is D. oblitescens? I think 1b, 2a, 3a =D.oblitescens.

Ascospores less than three times as long as wide.

I hope you correct me if I'm wrong.


I thank all of you for the help, in this way I still learn a lot.  


regards
Hannie

Re : Didymella applanata??
I still not agree with Didymosphaeria oblitescens, because I remember an own finding of exatly this species on Rubus fruticosus agg. in 2011 (first 2 pictures).

The last 2 pics show the real Didymosphaeria oblitescens growing on dead Cornus alba stems, which has been determined by several specialists in this forum.

I feel that there is something wrong...

regards,
björn

Re : Didymella applanata??
Hello björn,

It's ok to me if you think I'm not right, in this way I learn more of it. When I looked at your pictures   the first two looks more like my pictures. Maybe I was wrong, the  spores didn't have  foveate ornamentation but warty spores. I don't have an expensive microscoop.

regards Hannie

Re : Didymella applanata??
Bonjour.
Qui peut me traduire le mot "foveate ornamentation?" ?
Merci.

En ce qui concerne ce que j'ai compris de la verrue littérature, mais pas d'épines.Peut-être que je me trompe

Re : Didymella applanata??
Salut Y,
Les fovéoles sont de petites dépressions (concavités) alors que les verrues sont
des convexités.
Alain
Jaklitsch Walter, 27-03-2013 21:04
Re : Didymella applanata??
exactly; foveolate is also just used for "warted below the perispore", i.e. the warts do not protrude
Alain GARDIENNET, 28-03-2013 21:07

Re : Didymella applanata??
In conclusion, we can say that the records of Rubus (from Hannie and Björn) should be oblitescens and the one on Cornus (Björn's one) should be more according with futilis.
A positive discussion.

Re : Didymella applanata??
Thank you Björn and Alain. I didn't expect that it caused so much "trouble" for the right name. Now I could tell my companions the rigtht name. Thanks again.

Re : Didymella applanata??
Hii
I also belive this sp. is belong to  Didymosphaeria
Eeventhough this genus is well established the familial placement of the genera is uncertain we need fresh collections to sort out this problem
Could please loan me the material to check if so it would be greatful where i try to do some molecular work on it
Thank you and look forward to hearing from you

Re : Didymella applanata??
HA

If I read it correct you wanted some material send? I found it on Rubus. I still have the twiggs. If you want something of it if to examen I have to take a look if I can find it. But this will be in a few days.

Re : Didymella applanata??
Dear Hannie
Yes please can you send me the material
So i can try work on the molecular on the species
ariyawansa44@gmail.com is my e mail you can contact me via on that
hope we can have intersting finding on this
Thank you
