Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colony morphology on V-8 agar, potato dextrose agar, and malt extract agar with no distinctive pattern and slow growth. Minimum temperature for growth 4°C, optimum 25–30°C, maximum 37°C.

Conditions for growth and sporulation

Sporangia and hyphal swellings produced in liquid media, and gametangia readily produced on culture media after 4 days.

Asexual phase

Sporangia nonpapillate; persistent; ovoid or ellipsoid (31–160 L x 17–45 W µm); showing occasionally internal nested or external proliferation and originated in unbranched or closely sympodial sporangiophores. Hyphal swellings globose and intercalary, formed in liquid cultures. Chlamydospores absent. 

Sexual phase

Homothallic. Oogonia smooth-walled, globose (24–47 µm diam.); antheridia amphigynous; oospores aplerotic (19–35 µm diam.).  

Most typical characters

Phytophthora pisi is characterized by the presence of nonpapillate sporangia and homothallic oogonia with aplerotic oospores.
