Abstract

A new homothallic Phytophthora species, isolated from rhizosphere soil and roots of declining or dead European blackberry (Rubus anglocandicans) in south-west Western Australia, is described as Phytophthora bilorbang sp. nov. It produces non-papillate sporangia, smooth-walled oogonia containing thick-walled oospores, and paragynous antheridia. Although morphologically similar to several species within ITS Clade 6 and sub-clade II; namely P. gibbosa, P. gregata and P. megasperma, phylogenetic analyses of the ITS, coxI, HSP90, BT and NADH gene regions demonstrate that P. bilorbang sp. nov. is a distinct species. Additionally P. bilorbang differs from these species in its growth and colony morphology on several media. Phytophthora bilorbang sp. nov. is believed to be involved in the decline syndrome of blackberry within the Warren and Donnelly River catchments in the south-west of Western Australia.
