Phoma andigena Turkensteen 1995
Turkensteen (1995) published Phoma andigena as a replacement name for Phoma andina Turkensteen 1978, which is an illegitimate later homonym of Phoma andina Sacc. & P. Syd. 1904 found on Berberis species. Phoma andigena has also been referred to as Macrophoma sp. in the literature (e.g., Torres 1970). The teleomorph is unknown.
Distribution:
Boerema (2003) refers to P. andigena Turkensteen 1995 as occurring in the Andes of S. America (Bolivia and Peru). He describes it as a pathogen of wild and cultivated species of potato, Solanum spp. series Tuberosa (Solanaceae). Until recently, some sources had listed the hosts as Solanum sp. and Tuberosa sp.; however, this appears to be an error. Based on the primary literature (e.g., Boerema 2004, Boerema 1995, Noordeloos 1993, Torres 1970), P. andigena seems to occur only on potato, not on tomato. The Compendium of Potato Diseases 2nd edition (2001) and the EPPO data sheet (No. 141, 1984) state that P. andigena occurs on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and other solanaceous weeds, but no details are given and this is not substantiated by any of the citations listed in these two publications.
Nomenclature Report:
Phoma andigena Turkenst. 1995 (Ascomycetes, Pleosporales)
[≡Phoma andina Turkenst. 1978 - illegitimate later homonym, not included in search] Note: Not Sacc. & P. Syd. 1904.
Distribution: South America (Andes above 2000 m).
Substrate: Leaves, soil, plant debris.
Disease Note: Leaf spot, leaf scorch, black potato blight.
Host: Wild and cultivated potatoes; Solanum spp. series Tuberosa (Solanaceae). Presence on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is unsubstantiated (possibly referring to Phoma andina var. crystalliniformis).
