Lévesque 3 Key words Abstract The genus Phytopythium (Peronosporales) has been described, but a complete circumscription has not yet been presented. In the present paper we provide molecular-based evidence that members of Pythium COI clade K as described by Lévesque & de Cock (2004) belong to Phytopythium. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian LSU phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU and SSU) and mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase Oomycetes subunit 1 (COI) as well as statistical analyses of pairwise distances strongly support the status of Phytopythium as Oomycota a separate phylogenetic entity. Phytopythium is morphologically intermediate between the genera Phytophthora Peronosporales and Pythium. It is unique in having papillate, internally proliferating sporangia and cylindrical or lobate antheridia. Phytopythium The formal transfer of clade K species to Phytopythium and a comparison with morphologically similar species of Pythiales the genera Pythium and Phytophthora is presented.

It needs moist soil conditions and warm temperatures to thrive, and is particularly damaging to susceptible plants (e.g. drought stressed plants in the summer). P. cinnamomi poses a threat to forestry, ornamental and fruit industries, and infects over 900 woody perennial species. Diagnostic techniques are expensive and require expert identification. Prevention and chemical use are typically used to lessen the impact of P. cinnamomi. view this species on IUCN Red List Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) 2021.

P. cinnamomi spreads both by chlamydospores as well as water-propelled zoospores.

Ridge May 2013 Accepted by: Dr. Sarah A. White, Committee Chair Dr. Steven N. Jeffers Dr. Christina E. Wells Dr. William C. Bridges, Jr. ABSTRACT Competition between agricultural producers and urban communities for high quality water is increasing; therefore, growers need to adopt water conservation and reuse practices to ensure an adequate supply of irrigation water. One concern with recycled irrigation water is the potential to recirculate propagules of oomycete pathogens. Constructed wetlands are a biologically-based treatment option for nutrient and chemical remediation that potentially also could filter pathogen propagules.

  • Pseudoperonospora Humuli) and Tolerance by Phytophthora Isolates to the Systemic Fungicide Meta- Laxyl
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robert M. Hunger for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy inPlant Pathology presented on March 17, 1982 Title: Chemical Control of Hop Downy Mildew (Pseudoperonospora humuli) and Tolerance by Phytophthora Isolates to the Systemic Fungicide Meta- laxyl. Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Dr. Chester E. Horner Four systemic fungicides (metalaxyl, M 9834, propamocarb, and efosite aluminum) were evaluated for control of the downy mildew disease (Pseudoperonospora humuli) of hops (Humulus lupulus). Metalaxyl applied at 0.3 gm/plant in mid-April resulted in nearly complete control of the disease and increased yields significantly. Treatment with M 9834 at 0.3 gm/plant resulted in control comparable to metalaxyl up to four weeks after application, but disease incidence increased sharply after six weeks. Propamocarb and efosite aluminum treatments were less effective than metalaxyl or M 9834, but did result in substantial disease control. The possibility that metalaxyl tolerance occurs in Phytophthora, fungus related to Pseudoperonospora was examined in vitro. Thirty- five isolates of Phytophthora megasperma were tested for tolerance to metalaxyl. Tolerance was measured by comparing isolate growth, and oogonia and sporangia formation on amended and control media. Based on growth at 0, 1, and 10 pg metalaxyl/ml, 15 isolates were highly sensitive, 8 moderately tolerant, and 12 highly tolerant to the fungi- cide. No isolates in the highly sensitive group formed oogonia at 1 pg metalaxyl/ml, whereas six isolates from the moderately tolerant group, and eight from the highly tolerant group did. The number of isolates forming sporangia and the mean number of sporangia formed per isolate decreased with increasing fungicide concentration.

  • Phytophthora
    Phytophthora A Global Perspective CABI PLANT PROTECTION SERIES Plant pests and diseases cause signifi cant crop losses worldwide. They cost grow- ers, governments and consumers billions annually and are a major threat to global food security: up to 40% of food grown is lost to plant pests and diseases before it can be consumed. The spread of pests and diseases around the world is also altered and sped up by international trade, travel and climate change, introducing further challenges to their control. In order to understand and research ways to control and manage threats to plants, scientists need access to information that not only provides an overview and background to the fi eld, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research fi ndings. This series presents research-level information on important and current topics relating to plant protection from pests, diseases and weeds, with inter- national coverage. Each book provides a synthesis of facts and future directions for researchers, upper-level students and policy makers. Titles Available 1. Disease Resistance in Wheat Edited by Indu Sharma 2.
