Feeding and other inter-species relationships

Alternaria dianthi is associated with:

Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph, colony Dianthus barbatus - Sweet William (Caryophyllaceae) colony of Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph infects and damages stem Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [More or less superficial lesions begin at one side, eventually often extending into the pith, girdle the stem and may kill the whole plant. "Carnation Blight"]
Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph, colony Dianthus barbatus - Sweet William (Caryophyllaceae) colony of Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph infects and damages leaf Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [very small purple spots which soon develop a broad yellowish-green border, expanding, centres becoming light brown or grey, fusing with adjacent spots. Healthy tissue between spots often turns yellow. "Carnation Blight"]
Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph, colony Dianthus caryophyllus - Clove Pink (Caryophyllaceae) colony of Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph infects and damages stem Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [More or less superficial lesions begin at one side, eventually often extending into the pith, girdle the stem and may kill the whole plant. "Carnation Blight"]

Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph, colony Dianthus barbatus - Sweet William (Caryophyllaceae) colony of Alternaria dematiaceous anamorph causes spots on leaf Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [very small purple spots which soon develop a broad yellowish-green border, expanding, centres becoming light brown or grey, fusing with adjacent spots. Healthy tissue between spots often turns yellow. "Carnation Blight"]
