Cardinal temperatures

Minimum temparature to grow 10°C, optimum 22–25°C, maximum 35°C.

Conditions for growth and sporulation

Phytophthora caryae produce abundant sporangia after being submerged in 1.5% soil water extract for 15–20 h under light. Abundant gametangia produced in cV8A after 7 days.

Asexual phase

Sporangia semipapillate, sometimes bipapillate; persistent; ovoid, ellipsoid, obpyriform and with distorted shapes including peanut-shaped (33–82.6 µm length x 20.3–47.7 µm width); originated in simple sympodial sporangiophore; external proliferation common. Hyphal swellings common, and chlamydospores absent.

Sexual phase

Homothallic. Oogonia smooth-walled, frequently with tapered base (21.6–34.7 µm diam.); antheridia paragynous, globose to oval; oospores predominantly plerotic (18.2–29.4 µm diam.) and sometimes slightly aplerotic.

Distribution: North America (USA: MA, NC)
Substrate: isolated from water
Disease note: mildly pathogenic on Carya (Juglandaceae) in innoculation experiments
Hosts: Carya (Juglandaceae)
