The risk of infestation of <em>Coleophoma empetri<\/em> in California is evaluated and a permanent rating is herein proposed.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>History &amp; Status:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong><u>Background<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0Originally described as <em>Septoria empetri<\/em>, the fungal pathogen <em>Coleophoma empetri<\/em> is also known by other synonyms, <em>Rhabdostromina empetri, Sporonema oxycocci, <\/em>and<em> Coleophoma rhododendri,<\/em> and <em>Coleophoma ericae<\/em>.\u00a0 The pathogen is widely distributed and found on living and dead leaves and fruit of many different plant species (Farr &amp; Rossman, 2016; Sutton, 1980).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease cycle<\/u><\/strong>: \u00a0\u00a0There is a paucity of specific information on <em>Coleophoma empetri.\u00a0 <\/em>However<em>, <\/em>it is likely that the development of disease caused by the pathogen would be similar to other pycnidia-forming fungal pathogens.\u00a0\u00a0 The pathogen overwinters as mycelium or immature pycnidia in infected fruit and diseased plant debris. Under high moisture and cool temperature conditions, pycnidia swell and release conidia which are spread by splashing rain, irrigation, water, and so on.\u00a0 Seed transmission is not known for <em>C. empetri.<\/em>\u00a0 Infection of host plants and severity of disease development is likely to require high moisture and cool temperatures.\u00a0 In the development of fruit rot of berries, conidia initiate infection during bloom and early berry development.\u00a0 As infected fruit mature, hyphae continue to invade the fruit and rot symptoms do not develop until the late growing season and mostly in storage (Kusek, 1995).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Dispersal and spread<\/em>: Splashing rain and irrigation water, air currents, infected plants, infected plant debris, cultivation tools, animals, and contaminated clothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Hosts:<\/em>\u00a0 <em>Archontophoenix alexandrae<\/em> (Alexander palm)<em>, Arctostaphylos<\/em> sp.

Symptomatic host plants infected with the pathogen may be more of a serious problem for nursery greenhouse productions where favorable wet requirements for disease development and spread are more likely to occur under controlled environments than in open field environments in California.\u00a0 The disease could negatively impact value and marketability of nursery-grown plants including ornamental and landscape plants such as Manzanita, Camellia, Rhododendron, and Eucalyptus.
