The pathogen has previously been referred to as <em>Ceracospora petersii<\/em> and C. (or <em>Pseudocercospora<\/em>) <em>mississippiensis<\/em>, which are synonym species of <em>Exosporium petersii<\/em> which is morphologically distinguished from <em>P. smilacicola<\/em> (Braun <em>et al.,<\/em> 2014; Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016).\u00a0 However, Braun <em>et al.,<\/em> (2014) reported that <em>Pseudocercospora mississippiensis<\/em> on <em>Smilax riparia<\/em> from Korea is morphologically indistinguishable from the Cuban and North American collections of <em>P. smilacicola<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease cycle:<\/u><\/strong> Infected plants produce conidiophores (specialized hypha) that arise from the plant surface in clusters through stomata and form conidia (asexual spores) successively.\u00a0 Conidia are easily detached and blown by wind often over long distances.\u00a0 On landing on surfaces of a plant host, conidia require water or heavy dew to germinate and penetrate the host.\u00a0 Substomatal stroma (compact mycelial structure) may form from which conidiophores develop.\u00a0 Development of the pathogen is favored by high temperatures and the disease is most destructive during summer months and warmer climates.\u00a0 High relative humidity is necessary for conidial germination and plant infection.\u00a0 The pathogen can overwinter in or on seed and as mycelium (stromata) in old infected leaves (Agrios, 2005). <em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dispersal and spread<\/em>:<\/strong> air-currents, infected nursery plants, infected leaves, seeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hosts:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Smilax auriculata<\/em> (earleaf greenbrier)<em>, S. laurifolia<\/em> (laurel greenbrier),<em> S. pseudochina<\/em> (bamboo vine)<em>, S. riparia, S. rotundifolia<\/em> (roundleaf greenbrier), <em>Smilax<\/em> sp. (Braun <em>et al<\/em>., 2014).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Symptoms<\/em>:<\/strong> \u00a0Infected host plants exhibit leaf spots on both leaf surfaces and are sub-circular to angular or irregular, 1-10 mm in diameter, initially pale then turn dark brown and later develop a paler center, brownish to greyish brown, occasionally somewhat zonate with darker brown to black margin.\u00a0 Lesions or spots may be slightly raised and occasionally surrounded by a diffuse lighter halo (Braun <em>et al.,<\/em> 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Damage Potential:<\/strong> <\/em>Specific losses due to <em>Pseudocercospora smilacicola<\/em> have not been reported.\u00a0 Photosynthetic area can be reduced due to leaf spotting.\u00a0 In severe infections, leaf wilt and drop may be expected.\u00a0 However, damage potential due to this pathogen is likely to be similar to other <em>Cercospora<\/em> diseases which is usually low (Agrios, 2005).\u00a0 In California, <em>Smilax californica<\/em> and <em>S. jamesii<\/em> grow indigenously in the northern mountain and valley regions (Calflora, 2016).\u00a0 <em>Smilax<\/em> sp. vines and foliage are used in floral decorations and therefore, diseased plants could be of concern to greenbrier floral\/ornamental production nurseries.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> Asia: Japan, Korea; North America: USA, Cuba.
