Pathogenicity of Phytophthora species to Anthurium andraeanum in Brazil

Phytophthora citrophthora was identified by morphological and molecular methods as the pathogen causing leaf and bract blight on Anthurium andraeanum in Bahia State, Brazil. Tests of the pathogenicity of P. citrophthora from anthurium and P. citrophthora , P. tropicalis and P. palmivora obtained fro...

Description
Summary:Phytophthora citrophthora was identified by morphological and molecular methods as the pathogen causing leaf and bract blight on Anthurium andraeanum in Bahia State, Brazil. Tests of the pathogenicity of P. citrophthora from anthurium and P. citrophthora , P. tropicalis and P. palmivora obtained from cocoa showed that all species were pathogenic on both hosts. These observations demonstrate the potential of Phytophthora species from cocoa to infect anthurium.
