Etymology

Named to honor Mr. Derald Glover who worked in David Shew’s laboratory at the Dept. of Plant Pathology, NCSU from 1966 to 1999. Mr. Glover’s initial observation of Phytophthora-like sporangia on the symptomatic roots of tobacco in water led to the initial isolation of the pathogen and the discovery of this new species.

Typification

Type: BRAZIL, Santa Catarina state close to Chapeco in southern part of Brazil from Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco ‘burley’ field) showing symptoms of ‘Amarelâo’, 10 Aug. 1995, collector David Shew; isolate 11099 #23, BPI 878720 (dried culture on baby carrot agar)

Ex-type: CBS 121969 and P11685 (WPC)

Sequences for ex-type in original manuscript: CBS 121969 = ITS AF279124

Ex-type in other collections

Position in ITS phylogenetic tree

Clade 2b

Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colony morphology after 7 days on PDA, V-8, MEA with light stellate pattern and slow growth. Minimum growth temperature 13°C, optimum 25°C, and maximum 30°C.

Conditions for growth and sporulation

Sporangia are readily produced on sections of infected root pieces or agar plugs under water culture, 10% soil solution, and on solid media.

Asexual phase

Sporangia semipapillate; persistent; ovoid, obpyriform, obclavate, subglobose, to irregular and distorted shapes (43–61 L x 26–36 W µm), occasionally with bilobed or trilobed apices, some showing prominent papilla before liberation of zoospores produced in unbranched or simple sympodial sporangiophores. Hyphal swellings absent. Chlamydospores absent.

Sexual phase

Homothallic. Oogonia smooth-walled (26–41 µm diam); antheridia paragynous or amphigynous with two antheridia per oogonium sometimes produced; finger-like projections frequently observed; oospores markedly aplerotic (23–30 µm diam).

Most typical characters

Phytophthora glovera is characterized by the presence of antheridia paragynous or amphigynous with two antheridia per oogonium sometimes produced.
