Butl. The survey covered isolates from all the major cocoa growing areas of the world, and included isolates studied by C. H. Gadd and S. F. Ashby in the 1920s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;&quot;&gt;The majority of the isolates could be assigned to one of three distinct forms, termed S, L and MF4. The S-type is attributed here to &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt;, which is redefined. Both L and MF4 are considered to be distinct species of &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt;. The L-type could not be identified with any known species and is described here as &lt;em&gt;P. megakarya&lt;/em&gt; sp.nov. &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt; occurred world-wide on cocoa, whereas &lt;em&gt;P. megakarya&lt;/em&gt; was obtained only from West Africa and MF4 only from Central and South America and the West Indies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;&quot;&gt;Isolates attributed to &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt; from other hosts were also examined. Some isolates from rubber, coconut and durian were &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt; (S-type). Isolates from pepper comprised a group closely resembling MF4. Isolates from coconut and rubber originally attributed to &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt; by S. F. Ashby, C. H. Gadd and E. M. Blackwell comprised a further group, and were also attributed here to &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt;, yet were somewhat different morphologically from the S-type on cocoa. It is not clear which of these two types is authentic &lt;em&gt;P. palmivora&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;&quot;&gt;The significance of these results, and the value of the various diagnostic criteria used, is discussed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burgess, Treena I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">López‐Villamor, án</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paap, Trudy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Williams, Briony</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belhaj, Rajah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crone, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dunstan, William</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Howard, Kay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hardy, Giles E.

Here, we concentrate on those species that are dispersed through soil and water, attacking the roots of the plants, causing them to rot and die. The intention of this study was to compare the soil baiting protocol developed by the Centre for Phytophthora Science and Management (CPSM) with two other baiting methods used in Australia. The aim was to demonstrate the effectiveness of each protocol for soil baiting &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; species in different substrates. Three experiments were conducted: the first to test the sensitivity of each method to detect &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt;, the second to test the effect of substrate type (sand or loam), and the third to test the detection of species (&lt;em&gt;P. cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;P. multivora&lt;/em&gt;, or &lt;em&gt;P. pseudocryptogea&lt;/em&gt;). The specificity of different plant species baits was compared within and between the methods. Substrate type influenced isolation in all methods; however, the CPSM method was superior regardless of substrate, albeit slower than one of the other methods for one substrate. Comparing bait species between the three methods, &lt;em&gt;Quercus ilex&lt;/em&gt; was the most attractive bait for &lt;em&gt;P. cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt;, particularly in the CPSM method. The choice of protocol affected the isolation associated with each bait type. Overall, the multiple bait system used by CPSM was shown to provide the most sensitive and reliable detection of &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; species from soil samples.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davidson, Jennifer M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wickland, Allison C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patterson, Heather A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falk, Kristen R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzo, David M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transmission of Phytophthora ramorum in mixed-evergreen forest in California</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytopathology</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/abs/10.1094/PHYTO-95-0587</style></url></web-urls></urls><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">95</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">587-596</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">González, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pérez-Sierra, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serrano, M.

The isolates were identified on the basis of colony and reproductive structure morphology as well as temperature–growth relationships, and identification was further corroborated by their ITS and &lt;em&gt;β&lt;/em&gt;-tubulin sequences. Koch's postulates were demonstrated for both species on 1-year-old wild olives. Pathogenicity tests showed that both &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. are highly aggressive pathogens, although temperature–growth requirements for each species were distinct. As a consequence, the two species may be active in different seasons and their epidemiology may be differently influenced by global climate change, and they may show their active periods in different climatic scenarios. The climate change models for the Mediterranean Basin forecast a global temperature increase that favours the more thermophilic &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cryptogea&lt;/em&gt;. The high susceptibility to phytophthora root rot should not be disregarded in olive breeding programmes where wild olive is used as a source of resistance to verticillium wilt.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hansen, E.M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P.B.

We compared 93 isolates, including many described by others, for classical morphological features, growth behaviour and appearance, electrophoretic pattern of total proteins, chromosome number and nuclear DNA content. Nine distinct sub-groups were distinguished. While most groups could be distinguished by each of the criteria, protein electrophoresis was the most sensitive. The groups included: ALF, pathogenic to alfalfa, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 12–15; SOY, pathogenic to soybean, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 12–15; CLO, pathogenic to clover, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 11–15; DF, pathogenic to Douglas fir, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 17–24; AC, isolated from rosaceous fruit trees; and BHR, a major group obtained from a broad range of hosts. The last two groups, distinguished primarily by protein pattern, comprised at least four karyotypes: KI, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 12–17; KII, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 15–23; KIII, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 22–28; and KIV, &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;= 26–34.

Sub-groups within each line may represent emerging biological species, isolated by host specificity or karyotype. Taxonomic designation for the various groups must await confirmation of the hypothesis by demonstration of the extent of barriers to gene flow between the groups.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hardoim, P.

Here, we applied Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics to disclose the metabolic patterns of cork oak roots and &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; mycelium during the early hours of the interaction. As early as 2&amp;nbsp;h post-inoculation (hpi), cork oak roots showed altered metabolic patterns with significant variations for regions associated with carbohydrate, glycoconjugate and lipid groups when compared to mock-inoculated plants. These variations were further extended at 8&amp;nbsp;hpi. Surprisingly, at 16&amp;nbsp;hpi, the metabolic changes in inoculated and mock-inoculated plants were similar, and at 24&amp;nbsp;hpi, the metabolic patterns of the regions mentioned above were inverted when compared to samples collected at 8&amp;nbsp;hpi. Principal component analysis of the FT-IR spectra confirmed that the metabolic patterns of inoculated cork oak roots could be readily distinguished from those of mock-inoculated plants at 2, 8 and 24&amp;nbsp;hpi, but not at 16&amp;nbsp;hpi. FT-IR spectral analysis from mycelium of &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; exposed to cork oak root exudates revealed contrasting variations for regions associated with protein groups at 16 and 24&amp;nbsp;h post-exposure (hpe), whereas carbohydrate and glycoconjugate groups varied mainly at 24&amp;nbsp;hpe. Our results revealed early alterations in the metabolic patterns of the host plant when interacting with the biotrophic pathogen. In addition, the FT-IR technique can be successfully applied to discriminate infected cork oak plants from mock-inoculated plants, although these differences were dynamic with time. To a lesser extent, the metabolic patterns of &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; were also altered when exposed to cork oak root exudates.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thomas Jung</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hansen, Everett M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Winton, Lori</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oßwald, Wolfgang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delatour, Claude</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Three new species of Phytophthora from European oak forests</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mycological Research</style></secondary-title><short-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mycological Research</style></short-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2002</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4/2002</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">106</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">397 - 411</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In several studies of oak decline in Europe, one semi-papillate (&lt;em&gt;Phytophthora psychrophila&lt;/em&gt; sp. nov.) and two nonpapillate homothallic &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; species (&lt;em&gt;P. europaea&lt;/em&gt; sp. nov. and &lt;em&gt;P. uliginosa&lt;/em&gt; sp. nov.) were isolated, together with other &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; species, from rhizosphere soil samples which could not be assigned to existing taxa. &lt;em&gt;P. psychrophila&lt;/em&gt; differs from other semi-papillate species of Waterhouse's morphological Group IV, like &lt;em&gt;P. ilicis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P. hibernalis&lt;/em&gt;, by its uniform, dome-shaped and cotton wool-like colony growth pattern on V8 juice agar and malt extract agar, the occurrence of sympodially branched primary hyphae, the high variation in size and shape of the sporangia, shorter pedicels, lower optimum temperature for growth, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. &lt;em&gt;P. europaea&lt;/em&gt; is distinguished from related nonpapillate Group V and VI species, namely &lt;em&gt;P. fragariae, P. cambivora&lt;/em&gt;, and the 'alder phytophthora', by producing oogonia with tapered bases, irregular walls and exclusively paragynous antheridia, its cardinal temperatures for growth, and ITS sequences. &lt;em&gt;P. uliginosa&lt;/em&gt; differs from related Group V and VI species by its large oogonia with exclusively paragynous antheridia, the predominant occurrence of ellipsoid sporangia with markedly wide exit pores, its slow growth, low cardinal temperatures, its colony growth patterns, and ITS sequences. &lt;em&gt;P. uliginosa&lt;/em&gt; is separated from &lt;em&gt;P. europaea&lt;/em&gt; by its larger oospores without tapering bases, lower cardinal temperatures and growth rates, different colony growth patterns, and greater aggressiveness on &lt;em&gt;Q. robur&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maseko, Bongani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burgess, Treena I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coutinho, Teresa A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michael J.

Based on phylogenetic comparisons using the ITS and β-tubulin gene regions, these species were shown to be distinct from known species. These differences were also supported by robust morphological characteristics. The names, &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora frigida&lt;/em&gt; sp. nov. and &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora alticola&lt;/em&gt; sp. nov. are thus provided for these taxa, which are phylogenetically closely related to species within the ITS clade 2 (&lt;em&gt;P. citricola&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;P. tropicali&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P.multivesiculata&lt;/em&gt;) and 4 (&lt;em&gt;P. arecae&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P. megakarya&lt;/em&gt;), respectively. &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora frigida&lt;/em&gt; is heterothallic, and produces stellate to rosaceous growth patterns on growth medium, corraloid hyphae, sporangia with a variety of distorted shapes and has the ability to grow at low temperatures. &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora alticola&lt;/em&gt; is homothallic and has a slower growth rate in culture.

Long and short shoots of young understorey trees or lower branches up to 1.5 m above the soil level were affected. Symptoms also occurred regularly on twigs in heights up to 2 m and more above the ground. Necroses usually expanded within the current year’s tissue and often also reached into the previous year’s wood. Ponding rain water in the stands or along forest roads or open soil seemed to promote the disease. Of a total of 54 symptomatic twigs collected in four stands, 37 revealed &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; isolates, of which 33 were &lt;em&gt;P. plurivora&lt;/em&gt; and four were &lt;em&gt;P. cambivora&lt;/em&gt;. Both species caused extensive lesions on beech twigs in laboratory pathogenicity tests. Patterns of the disease indicated that these pathogens, generally considered soilborne species, in most cases are transmitted from the soil to above-ground parts of the trees via rain splash. In larger heights, however, other vectors such as snails might be responsible for transmission. Although &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. are well known as causal agents of seedling blight as well as root and cambium rot and aerial bleeding cankers of mature beech, to our knowledge this is the first report of a twig blight in beech associated with soilborne &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. In particular in periods of high precipitation, this disease might pose an additional threat to Central European beech forests, especially endangering the success of artificial and natural regeneration of beech in affected stands.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peterson, Ebba</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hansen, Everett</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanaskie, Alan</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Temporal Epidemiology of Sudden Oak Death in Oregon</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytopathology</style></secondary-title><short-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytopathology</style></short-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feb-04-2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PHYTO-12-14-0348-FI</style></url></web-urls></urls><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">150414124631002</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;An effort to eradicate &lt;em&gt; Phytophthora ramorum &lt;/em&gt;, causal agent of sudden oak death, has been underway since its discovery in Oregon forests. Using an information-theoretical approach we sought to model yearly variation in the size of newly infested areas and dispersal distance. Maximum dispersal distances were best modeled by spring and winter precipitation two years before detection, and infestation size the year prior. Infestation size was best modeled by infestation size and spring precipitation the year prior. In our interpretation, there is a two year delay between the introduction of inoculum and onset of mortality for a majority of sites. The year-long gap in between allows ample time for the production of inoculum contributing to the spread of &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt;. This is supported by epidemic development following changes in eradication protocols precipitated by an outbreak in 2011, attributable to a 2009 treatment delay and an uncharacteristically wet spring in 2010. Post-eradication, we have observed an increase in the total area of new outbreaks and increased frequency in dispersal distances greater than 4 km. While the eradication program has not eliminated &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt; from Oregon forests it has likely moderated this epidemic, emphasizing the need for prompt treatment of future invasive forest pathogens.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rea, A.

It was initially identified as &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; var. &lt;em&gt;parvispora &lt;/em&gt;Kröber and Marwitz by comparing morphological features with the original description and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences with those present in GenBank.

A standardized test system was developed to quantify inoculum in runoff from root-infected Viburnum tinus ‘Spring Bouquet’ or Rhododendron ‘Cunningham’s White’ cuttings. Cuttings of both species gave off a maximum amount of inoculum 1 to 3 weeks after inoculation. The greatest amount of inoculum was recovered from Viburnum roots that were 48 to 70 days old at the time of inoculation, or roots incubated at 15 to 20°C rather than 25°C. Inoculum in runoff from inoculated Viburnum roots was similar for four different isolates of &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt; representing both the NA1 and EU1 lineages. When Rhododendron cuttings were inoculated with &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;P. citricola&lt;/em&gt;, or &lt;em&gt;P. cactorum&lt;/em&gt;, inoculum of all three pathogens was recovered from runoff, with the highest amount recovered from plants inoculated with &lt;em&gt;P. citricola&lt;/em&gt;, followed by the other two. Compared with the other two pathogens, P. ramorum colonized root tissue to a smaller extent. The epidemiology of root infection by &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt; is important in itself but the assay might lend itself for use in risk analysis for root infection of other plant species and evaluation of control measures, and also shed light on other root-infecting &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Than, D.

This soilborne, Pythiaceous species belongs to the Chromista and causes a collar rot resulting in yellowing of the foliage and thinning of the canopy, which eventually causes death of the infected tree. The management and containment of this pathogen requires rapid and reliable detection in the soil. The current method for soil detection utilizes a soil bioassay involving lupin baits and soil flooding in a process that takes between ten and twenty days. We describe a real-time PCR assay based on TaqMan chemistry for the specific detection of PTA, which targets the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. This TaqMan real-time PCR assay could be used with DNA extracted directly from bulk soil samples to enable rapid quantification of PTA within soil. The detection limit was 2&amp;nbsp;fg of PTA DNA from pure culture, or 20&amp;nbsp;fg in the presence of DNA extracted from soil. The assay was validated using soil samples taken from a PTA-infested site and soil spiked with a known concentration of oospores. We conclude that the TaqMan real-time PCR assay offers a more time-efficient method for detection of PTA in soil than existing methods.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Waterhouse, Grace M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taxonomy in Phytophthora</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytopathology</style></secondary-title><short-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytopathology</style></short-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1970</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1970</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1141</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weir, B.
