Three &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; isolates obtained from diseased plant tissue were tested against 1-year-old Brazilian pine seedlings and found to display positive pathogenicity. Based on their morphological and physiological characteristics, the isolates were identified as &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt;. A GenBank BLAST search of partial sequences from the β-tubulin and elongation factor-1α genes, as well as the ITS regions and 5.8S gene of rDNA, confirmed the species identification. This is the first report of the involvement of this pathogen on the aetiology of Brazilian pine root and crown rot.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
