Etymology

refers to the intricate, intertwining oogonial and antheridial stalks (intricata Lat = intricate or intertwining)

Typification

Type: TAIWAN, Fushan, isolated from rhizosphere soil of a planted Quercus tarokoensis tree, T. Jung, 2013 (CBS H-22553 holotype, dried culture on V8A, Herbarium CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre)

Ex-type: CBS 141211 = TW259 

Sequences for ex-type in original manuscript: Phytophthora intricata isolate TW259 = ITS rDNA KU517155, cox1 KU517149

Clade 7a

Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colony morphology on V8A uniform, on MEA faintly stellate, and on PDA rosaceous. Minimum growth temperature 5 °C, optimum 30 °C, and maximum 35 °C.

Conditions for growth and sporulation

Sporangia not formed on solid agar but were produced abundantly in non-sterile soil extract. Gametangia readily produced on V8A in single culture.

Asexual phase

Sporangia nonpapillate; persistent; ovoid, elongated, obpyriform, limoniform, ellipsoid to less frequently pyriform, subglobose, ampulliform, bilobed or trilobed (39–78.9 μm length × 24.1–48.8 μm width); presenting internal (nested) and extended proliferation; originated on unbranched sporangiophores or in lax sympodia. Hyphal swellings absent. Chlamydospores absent.

Sexual phase

Homothallic. Oogonia smooth-walled, globose to subglobose (26.3–56.7 μm diam.) or slightly eccentric with a widened base between the oogonial stalk and the point of antheridial attachment; antheridia paragynous, subglobose to cylindrical, with antheridial stalks often twisted and intertwining; oospores plerotic (25.1–50.3 μm diam.), thick-walled, and contain two nuclei and a large ooplast.

Distribution: Asia (Taiwan)
Substrate: rhizosphere soil
Host: Quercus tarokoensis (Fagaceae)
