Phytophthora is a long-established, well known and globally important genus of plant pathogens. Phylogenetic evidence has shown that the biologically distinct, obligate biotrophic downy mildews evolved from at least twice. Since, cladistically, this renders ‘paraphyletic’, it been proposed evolutionary clades be split into multiple genera (Runge et al. 2011; Crous 2021; Thines 2023; 2024). In letter, we review arguments for retention generic name with broad circumscription made by Brasier...
Studies of Phytophthora impacts in forests generally focus on individual species without recogni-tion that occur multispecies communities. We investigated community structure the rhizosphere Agathis australis (kauri) Te Wao Nui o Tiriwa / Waitākere Ranges, New Zealand, context kauri dieback disease expression. Soil sampling and tree health monitoring was conducted 767 randomly selected mature trees. Phy-tophthora were detected using both soil baiting DNA metabarcoding eDNA. Four with (P....
