Lavender cotton, Santolina chamaecyparissus, is an evergreen shrub growing primarily in dry, calcareous habitats and is grown in rock gardens and mixed borders mainly for its ornamental and aromatic foliage. During 2004, several commercial nurseries in Valencia Province (eastern Spain) reported high mortality of lavender cotton. The foliage of the diseased plants turned brown, wilted, and died. A Phytophthora sp. was isolated consistently from the soil and roots of infected plants using apple baits and the selective medium PARBH (1), respectively. Four pure cultures (PS-31, PS-32, PS-33, and PS-34) were established from hyphal tips and characterized. Colony morphology on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 24{\textdegree}C was stoloniferous (short stubby branches) with a growth rate of 2.2 mm per day. Sporangia, chlamydospores, and oospores were produced on V8 agar. The sporangia were ovoid to obpyriform, 27.5 to 64.8 (48.3) {\texttimes} 25 to 52.5 (37.5) μm, length/breadth ratio of 1.3:1, and papillate, from which 20\% were caducous with a short pedicel (\<5 μm). Hyphal swellings and chlamydospores (22 to 38 μm in diameter) were present. Isolates were homothallic, oogonia were globose, mostly terminal 27.5 to 40 (36.2) μm in diameter, 88\% of the antheridia were paragynous, monoclinous, or diclinous, and occasionally with two paragynous antheridia per oogonium. Amphigynous antheridia (12\%) were also observed. Oospores were aplerotic, 25 to 35 (32.3) μm in diameter, and thin walled. These characteristics and measurements conformed to the description of P. tentaculata described by Kr{\"o}ber and Marwitz (2). Sequencing the internal transcribed spacer region of Santolina isolates PS-32 and PS-34 and comparison of these sequences with other sequences available in GenBank revealed that they were identical to P. tentaculata (AF266775). Pathogenicity tests used 10 4-to-5-month-old potted lavender cotton and two methods. In the first method, inoculum was prepared on a media of 200 g of oats and 120 ml of V8 juice to 1 liter of distilled water. The medium was inoculated with P. tentaculata grown on PDA and incubated in the dark at 20{\textdegree}C for 4 weeks. Inoculum was buried into the compost mixture around the roots at a rate of 3\% (w/v). The second method applied a zoospore drench of 50 ml per plant (1 {\texttimes} 104 zoospores per ml) obtained by inducing zoospores in sterile soil extract from cultures of V8 juice agar. The control plants were inoculated with sterile media and sterile distilled water. The following day, the pots were flooded for 2 days, plants were maintained in a glasshouse at 24 {\textpm} 5{\textdegree}C, and watered twice a week. All plants inoculated with the first method had wilted foliage and died within 2 months after inoculation, while plants inoculated with zoospores died after 3 months. P. tentaculata was reisolated and the test was repeated twice. The control plants did not show any symptoms of the disease. P. tentaculata was first reported causing root and stalk rot on Chrysanthemum frutescens hybrids, C. leucanthemum, Delphinium ajacis, and Verbena hybrids in Germany (2). It has also been reported on Verbena hybrids in Spain (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. tentaculata causing root rot on lavender cotton.

This is an expanded account from Oregon State College, Corvallis, of a disease of holly caused by Phytophthora sp. [34, p. 328], for which the name P. ilicis n.sp. is proposed. It was shown that the defoliation which accompanies the disease is due to the production of ethylene by infected leaf tissue. The disease develops from October to May, and is inactive in the summer. The pathogen is distinguishable from P. porri by its smaller oogonia, and from P. hibernalis and P. syringae by the consistent presence of amphigynous antheridia. On diseased holly tissues the sporangia have a shallow apical thickening and no papilla, and measure 18 to 30 by 30 to 50 (average 24 by 39) {\textmu}, with persistent pedicels, 5 to 15 {\textmu} long. Oogonia average 21 {\textmu} and oospores 18 {\textmu}, with a slightly yellow wall; antheridia average 13 by 1{\textmu}.

The ability of Phytophthora cinnamomi to survive long dry periods is the key to its persistence in the south-west of Western Australia. It has been proposed that dead Banksia grandis are a significant long-term reservoir for P.\ cinnamomi inoculum. To test this, 36 healthy B.\ grandis trees were inoculated in April 1999, and the presence of viable propagules in planta was determined between 2 and 34\ months after tree death. By 10\ months after inoculation, 75\% of the trees had died, with the remaining seven trees dying by 22\ months. The pathogen was more commonly recovered from bark than from wood, except from those trees that died at 22\ months, and more commonly from above-ground trunks than below-ground trunks and roots until 8\ months after plant death. In trees that died 12\ months after inoculation, P.\ cinnamomi was recovered from 60\% of trunk and root core samples at 3\ months, declining to 33\% at 10\ months, 5.5\% at 12\ months and 0.1\% at 34\ months after tree death. In trees that died at 22\ months, P.\ cinnamomi was recovered from 87\% of trunk and root samples 2\ months after tree death, decreasing to 0.5\% by 33\ months. This study suggests that the pathogen does not have a saprotrophic phase within dead B.\ grandis tissue, and B.\ grandis is unlikely to be a long-term reservoir for P.\ cinnamomi. However, the manipulation of the density of B.\ grandis and the use of fire to facilitate the breakdown of dead Banksia trunks in the Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah) forest may reduce the spread and impact of P.\ cinnamomi.

There are four recognized clonal lineages of the pathogen Phytophthora ramorum. The two major lineages present in North America are NA1 and NA2. With a few exceptions, NA1 is found in natural forest ecosystems and nurseries, and NA2 is generally restricted to nurseries. Isolates from the NA1 and NA2 lineages were used to infect rhododendron, camellia, and California bay laurel in detached leaf assays to study the effects of lineage, temperature, and host on pathogenicity and host susceptibility. Isolates within both lineages were highly variable in their ability to form lesions on each host. There was also a tendency toward reduced lesion size in successive trials, suggesting degeneration of isolates over time. Temperature had a significant effect on lesion size, with a response that varied depending on the host and isolate. Phenotypic differences between lineages appear to be heavily influenced by the representation of isolates used, host, and temperature. The importance of temperature, host, and lineage are discussed with respect to disease management, as well as future range expansions and migrations of the pathogen.

In Papua New Guinea (PNG) cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is one of the most important cash crops grown in the tropical lowland and island regions. As in most cocoa-growing areas, phytophthora black pod and canker cause significant yield losses. Cocoa breeding activities in PNG are focused in East New Britain province where disease control recommendations are also developed. This study tested the hypothesis that there was no diversity in the Phytophthora palmivora population causing black pod on cocoa by characterizing the variation in pathogen populations within and between the five major cocoa-growing areas. Diseased pods were sampled hierarchically from the five locations and additional isolates were collected from soil, stem and leaf lesions, or retrieved from culture collections. Morphological characters showed continuous variation within the range described for P.\ palmivora. Genetic analysis revealed that the isolates belonged to one dominant clonal lineage, with restricted distributions of several other subpopulations. Lowest diversities were found in the geographically isolated Karkar Island and East Sepik province. Soil isolates showed greater genetic diversity than isolates from cocoa lesions. Intra-farm variation was as much as inter-farm or inter-province variation. Both mating types were detected, although no strong evidence of sexual recombination was observed. The analysis revealed limited geographic, temporal or host specialization, suggesting continuous selection for pathogenicity from a genetic pool of P.\ palmivora. These findings have significant implications on the deployment of cocoa genotypes, enforcement of inter-province quarantine and sustainable disease management strategies.

The Key to the Common Phytophthora species (Lucid v 3.4) is a matrix-based computerized identification key and includes important morphological and molecular characters that are useful for identification of 55 common species of Phytophthora. A set of 20 features are used to make a correct species identification. Once a culture is obtained, the user enters responses to known character state options into Lucid Player and the correct species is identified. Illustrations of each character state for a feature are included in the key. The main morphological features included in the key are: asexual structures, sexual structures, and chlamydospore, hyphae and cultural characteristics. The user can read an illustrated {\textquotedblleft}Fact Sheet{\textquotedblright} on each species that includes pictures of morphological characters, disease symptoms, host range and relevant references. A cross-linked glossary of terminology is included in each fact sheet. In addition, a DNA Search function that contains a simple search of ITS and Barcode of Life (BOL, 5{\textquoteright} end of the cox1 gene) sequences for each species can be queried. The key was created to provide teachers, diagnosticians and regulatory personnel with easily accessible tools to distinguish common species in the genus Phytophthora based on a number of important morphological and molecular characteristics. The key is available for purchase from APS Press and should provide another useful tool for the identification of members of this destructive group of Oomycete plant pathogens.
