Genome sequence

Phytophthora syringae strain ex-neotype BL57G. Accession genome USDA_Psyr_BL57G_1.0 reference, BioProject PRJNA605765, USDA-APHIS-PPQ-S&T (2020), Srivastava et al 2022

Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colony on CMA with no special pattern, on PDA and V-8 with chrysanthemum/rosette pattern. The minimum temperature for growth is 5°C, the optimum is 18–20°C, and the maximum is 23–25°C.

Conditions for growth and sporulation

Oogonia form abundantly in culture and host tissues.

Asexual phase

Sporangia semipapillate; persistent; broad ovoid, ellipsoid, obpyriform, or distorted shapes (20–65 µm length x 18–40 µm width) sometimes with tapered base; originated in close simple sympodial sporangiophores with intercalary swellings. Hyphal swellings often catenulated, and spherical or irregular shape. Chlamydospores absent.

Sexual phase

Homothallic. Oogonium smooth-walled, globose (25–47 µm diam.), sometimes with tapered base; antheridia spherical, ovoid or club-shaped and are predominately paragynous and rarely amphigynous, sometimes with digitate projections; and oospores plerotic, aplerotic, or slightly aplerotic (20–39 µm diam.).
