Multiple new cryptic pathogenic Phytophthora species from Fagaceae forests in Austria, Italy and Portugal

چکیده
During surveys of Phytophthora diversity in natural and semi-natural Fagaceae forests in Austria, Italy and Portugal, four new cryptic species were isolated from rhizosphere soil samples. Multigene phylogeny based on nuclear ITS, ß-tubulin and HSP90 and mitochondrial cox1 and NADH1 gene sequences demonstrated that two species, P. tyrrhenica and P. vulcanica spp. nov., belong to phylogenetic Clade 7a, while the other two species, P. castanetorum and P. tubulina spp. nov., clustered together with P. quercina forming a new clade, named here as Clade 12. All four new species are homothallic and have low optimum and maximum temperatures for growth and very slow growth rates at their respective optimum temperature. They differed from each other and from related species by a unique combination of morphological characters, cardinal temperatures, and growth rates. Pathogenicity of all Phytophthora species to the root system of their respective host species was demonstrated in soil infestation trials.

Phytophthora is one of the most important and aggressive plant pathogenic genera in agriculture and forestry. Early detection and identification of its pathways of infection and spread are of high importance to minimize the threat they pose to natural ecosystems. eDNA was extracted from soil and water from forests and plantations in the north of Spain. Phytophthora-specific primers were adapted...

The European chestnut, Castanea sativa Mill, covers a total area of 2.53 million hectares two million of which are chestnut forests, i.e. forests where chestnut is the dominant tree species, being the remaining 0.53 million hectares devoted to fruit production (20.9% of the total chestnut-growing area). Chestnut fruit production in Europe declined considerably during the XX century to the curre...

Chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia C. A. Mey) is one of the most important native oaks of Iran distributed in the Hyrcanian Forests. The pure and mixed stands of it cover about 6.5% of these forests. The species represents morphological variations which have resulted in the description of several infraspecific taxa by different authors. Eight taxa were recognized as subspecies and varie...

Phytophthora ramorum is a recently established invasive pathogen in some mixed-hardwood forests of central coastal California (10,11) and extreme southwestern Oregon (5). It also is known from horticultural nurseries and landscape plantings in Europe (12) and recently was reported from a few nurseries in California and Oregon (6,9). Symptoms are dramatically different on different host species....
