Major disease symptoms were foliage wilting and necrosis of feeder roots. Phytophthora cinnamomi, Phytophthora cryptogea and Phytophthora drechsleri were isolated from necrotic roots of holm oaks. Selected isolates of the three Phytophthora species were pathogenic to Quercus ilex ssp. ballota and Quercus suber seedlings in artificial inoculations. Soil flooding conditions were essential for infection and root rot development. There was no host specificity among the species, the isolates of P. cinnamomi being the most virulent in all inoculated plants. In these inoculations, Q. ilex ssp. ballota plants were more susceptible than those of Q. suber. This work is the first report of P. cinnamomi, P. drechsleri and P. cryptogea affecting Q. ilex ssp. ballota in forest nurseries.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Etiología de las podredumbres radicales de plántulas de QUERCUS SPP.

A similar problem was detected affecting four species of Quercus (Q. coccinea, Q. faginea, Q. ilex, and Q. suber) in a forest nursery in 2000. Three species of Phytophthora (P. cinnamomi, P. cryptogea, and P. drechsleri) were isolated from holm oak feeder roots, and P. drechsleri was isolated from feeder roots of Aleppo pine in the first survey in 1998-99. In the second survey, Cylindrocarpon didymum was isolated from the feeder roots of the four Quercus spp. essayed, and C. destructans was isolated only from Q. faginea. Pathogenicity tests were conducted using 1 year-old healthy plants of cork oak, holm oak and Aleppo pine. Isolates of the three Phytophthora species were pathogenic to the three host species, inducing root rot and plant death. Holm oak was the most susceptible host and P. cinnamomi was the most virulent species. Isolates of Cylindrocarpon were pathogenic to cork oak and holm oak causing root rot, yellowing, defoliation, and plant death.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
