A new species of Phytophthora reported to cause root and collar rot of common boxwood, Nordmann fir and Port Orford cedar in Hungary
Plant Pathology 59 (6), 1166-1167
Abstract: Since 2002, Buxus sempervirens, Nordmann fir (Abies nordmanniana) and Port Orford cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) growing in Hungary were observed with symptoms of collar and root necroses associated with severe wilting and desiccation of foliage. A fungus of the genus Phytophthora was isolated from the diseased plants. From morphological characteristics and ITS sequence analysis the isolates agreed with accessions deposited as `P. sp. niederhauserii '. However, a valid taxonomic name has not yet been published. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
