Golovinomyces latisporus is a fungal plant pathogen in the family Erysiphaceae (powdery mildews). Part of the Golovinomyces ambrosiae complex, this species infects sunflowers (Helianthus, and likely Heliopsis too).[1][2]
Taxonomy
Golovinomyces latisporus was first described by Uwe Braun in 1983 with the basionym Erysiphe cichoracearum var. latispora. The variety was later raised to species level by Peng-Lei Qiu et al. in 2020.
