Venturia Sacc. 1882
This genus of plant pathogenic fungi is common in temperate regions. The species spread by airborne ascospores or asexual conidia. The sexual ascomata are small, immersed and usually have setae. The ascospores are ovoid or ellipsoid, brownish when mature, with 2 cells.
A number of species are significant for agriculture and forestry, causing scab diseases, leaf and shoot blight, or leaf spots. The scab causing species are economically most important and include, for example:
- Venturia carpophila (peach scab)
- Venturia effusa (pecan scab)
- Venturia inaequalis (apple scab)
Type species: Venturia inaequalis
For a taxonomic review of the genus see Marin-Felix et al. (2017).
