P. agathidicida lesion on kauri tree  Gum oozing out of longitudinal lesion |
P. agathidicida oospores in planta  Oospores in the roots of kauri seedlings inoculated with P. agathidicida. The root has been cleared with potassium hydroxide and bleached with peroxide before being stained with trypan blue (scale bar =100 µm). |
Comparative gametangial morphology of Phytophthora Clade 5 species  Comparative gametangial morphology of Phytophthora Clade 5 species, with SEM (top) and light microscopy (bottom). P. heveae has smooth walled oogonia with funnel-shaped, amphigynous antheridia. P. agathidicida has mildly stipulate oogonia with globose amphigynous antheridia. P.cocois has mildly bullate oogonia with reflexed amphigynous antheridia. P. castaneae has coarsely bullate oogonium with rugose protuberances and narrow amphigynous antheridia (Weir et al. 2015). |
