Chrysanthemum frutescens)<\/em>, <em>Leucanthemum vulgare<\/em>\u00a0 (syn. <em>C. leucanthemum)<\/em>, <em>Delphinium ajacis<\/em>, and <em>Verbena <\/em>sp. in nurseries in the Netherlands and Germany in 1993 (Kr\u00f6ber &amp; Marwitz, 1993).\u00a0 Later, the pathogen was also reported from Spain (Moralejo <em>et al<\/em>., 2004; \u00c1lvarez <em>et al<\/em>., 2006), Italy (Cristinzio <em>et al<\/em>., 2006; Martini <em>et al<\/em>., 2009) and China (Meng &amp; Wang, 2006; Wang and Zhao, 2014) after detection in nursery-potted and field-grown plants.\u00a0 In 2012, <em>P. tentaculata<\/em> was first detected in North America, in sticky monkey flower, <em>Diplacus<\/em> <em>aurantiacus <\/em>(syn.<em> Mimulus aurantiacus<\/em>) growing in a native plant nursery in Monterey County, California.\u00a0 Plant samples collected by Monterey County and CDFA staff were submitted to CDFA for analysis and the pathogen <em>P. tentaculata<\/em> was identified by Suzanne Rooney-Latham and Cheryl Blomquist, CDFA plant pathologists (Rooney-Latham &amp; Blomquist, 2014), and later confirmed by the USDA APHIS National Identification Services. The source of the <em>Diplacus <\/em>(<em>Mimulus<\/em>) plants was traced back to plants that were grown from seed and cuttings from a historical site in Monterey County.\u00a0 No <em>Diplacus <\/em>(<em>Mimulus<\/em>) plants had been shipped from the native plant nursery prior to the initial detection.\u00a0 Consequently, all positive <em>Diplacus (Mimulus<\/em>) plants and materials were destroyed.\u00a0 The California detection marked the first detection on a native host, albeit in a native plant restoration nursery and a host that has a wide geographical native range in California.\u00a0 Since its initial Monterey County find, <em>P. tentaculata<\/em> has also been detected in native plant nurseries in Placer, Butte, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Orange, and Santa Clara Counties, and in out-planted nursery stock in habitat restoration sites in Alameda, Monterey, and Santa Clara Counties. The pathogen was detected and reported from several new hosts that are listed below (see \u2018Hosts\u2019) and include <em>Artemisia douglasiana, A. californica, A. dranunculus<\/em>, <em>A. palmeri<\/em>, <em>Diplacus<\/em> x \u201cApricot\u201d, <em>Diplacus<\/em> x \u201cRed brick\u201d, <em>Monardella villosa, and Salvia <\/em>sp<em>. <\/em>\u00a0Several of these detections were made during a 2014-2015 survey of California native plant nurseries and restoration sites conducted by the collaborative efforts of CDFA, USDA and a private research company.\u00a0 The survey resulted in the detection of <em>P. tentaculata <\/em>in 8 out of 16 counties. \u00a0The origin of <em>P. tentaculata<\/em> is unknown. \u00a0Presently in California, <em>Phytophthora tentaculata<\/em> has only been detected in nursery-grown plants that were out-planted in the environment.\u00a0 The pathogen has persisted on those plants in the field for at least 4.5 years. Therefore, it is likely that in California, the pathway of pathogen spread is from infected nurseries to restoration field sites, and that the pathogen has been spread between and within nurseries by the use of infested pots and plants (Rooney-Latham, <em>et al.,<\/em> 2015).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hosts<\/em><\/strong>: The currently known hosts are included in the plant families Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Phrymaceae,\u00a0 Ranunculaceae, Rhamnaceae, Rosaceae, and Verbenaceae.\u00a0 The host range includes the following plants, diseases and geographical locations:<\/p>\n<p><em>Apium graveolens<\/em> (celery); stem and root rot; China (Wang &amp; Zhao, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em>Argyranthemum frutescens <\/em>(syn. <em>Chrysanthemum frutescens<\/em>) (marguerite daisy); root and stem base rot; Germany &amp; the Netherlands; Root, collar &amp; stalk rot (Kr\u00f6ber &amp; Marwitz 1993).<\/p>\n<p><em>Artemisia douglasiana<\/em> (California mugwort); root rot; California, USA (Rooney-Latham, <em>et al.,<\/em> 2015).<\/p>\n<p><em>Artemisia dracunculus<\/em> (tarragon); root rot; California, USA (Rooney-Latham <em>et al<\/em>., 2015).<em> Artemisia californica<\/em> (California sagebrush); root rot; California, USA (Rooney-Latham <em>et al.,<\/em> 2015).<\/p>\n<p><em>Artemesia palmeri <\/em>(Palmer sagewort); root rot; California, USA (see \u201cInitiating Event\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><em>Aucklandia lappa <\/em>(rhizomatous medicinal herb); China; stalk rot &amp; wilt (Meng &amp; Wang 2008).<\/p>\n<p><em>Calendula arvensis <\/em>(field marigold) (Li <em>et al<\/em>., 2011).<\/p>\n<p><em>Ceanothus cuneatus<\/em> (buckbrush); root rot; California, USA (Rooney-Latham <em>et al<\/em>., 2015).<\/p>\n<p><em>Cichorium intybus <\/em>(chicory, endive); Italy; collar and root rot (Garibaldi <em>et al<\/em>. 2006).<\/p>\n<p><em>Delphinium ajacis <\/em>(nursery stock); Germany &amp; the Netherlands; root, collar &amp; stalk rot (Kr\u00f6ber &amp; Marwitz 1993).<\/p>\n<p><em>Diplacus aurantiacus <\/em>(syn<em> Mimulus aurantiacus<\/em>) (sticky monkey-flower); California, USA.\u00a0 root and collar rot (Rooney-Latham &amp; Blomquist, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em>Diplacus<\/em> x \u201cApricot\u201d (<em>Diplacus<\/em> hybrid variety); root and collar rot; California, USA (see \u201cInitiating Event\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><em>Diplacus<\/em> x \u201cRed brick\u201d (<em>Diplacus<\/em> hybrid variety); root and collar rot; California, USA (see \u201cInitiating Event\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><em>Frangula californica (<\/em>syn. <em>Rhamnus californica)<\/em> (coffeeberry); California; root and collar rot (Frankel <em>et al<\/em>., 2015; NPAG, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em>Gerbera jamesonii <\/em>(African daisy); Italy; Crown &amp; stem rot (Cristinzio <em>et al<\/em>. 2006).<\/p>\n<p><em>Heteromeles arbutifolia<\/em> (toyon) California, USA (Frankel <em>et al<\/em>., 2015; NPAG, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em>Leucanthemum vulgare<\/em> (syn.<em> Chrysanthemum leucanthemum<\/em>) Germany &amp; the Netherlands; Root, collar &amp; stalk rot (Kr\u00f6ber &amp; Marwitz 1993).<\/p>\n<p><em>Monardella villosa <\/em>(coyote mint); California, USA (Rooney-Latham <em>et al<\/em>., 2015).<\/p>\n<p><em>Origanum vulgare <\/em>(oregano); Italy. \u00a0Leaf russeting &amp; chlorosis, wilt, defoliation, twig dieback,basal stem rot, root rot, entire plant collapse (Martini <em>et al<\/em>. 2009).<\/p>\n<p><em>Salvia<\/em> spp. (sage) California, USA (Frankel <em>et al<\/em>., 2015; NPAG, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em>Santolina chamaecyparissus <\/em>(lavender cotton); Spain; Root rot (Alvarez <em>et al<\/em>. 2004).<\/p>\n<p><em>Verbena <\/em>sp.

The symptoms are not unique <em>to P. tentaculata<\/em> by similar to infections caused by other <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species, root and stem pathogens and drought.\u00a0 \u00a0According to Rooney-Latham <em>et al<\/em> (2015) symptoms can vary in field-planted nursery stock.\u00a0 Infected sticky monkey flower plants are stunted, with dull yellowish leaves that turn red as the disease progresses.\u00a0 Roots and stem collars have necrotic, sunken lesions with few feeder roots and discolored leaves. In some cases, plants may exhibit poor growth and eventually collapse within their first season, while some plants may grow for a year or more before exhibiting severe dieback during hot summers. Transplanted infected <em>Artemisia douglasiana<\/em> plants did not show dieback, but exhibited stunting and chlorosis more that 4.5 years after being out-planted (Rooney-Latham <em>et al<\/em>., 2015; Frankel <em>et al.<\/em>, 2015; Kr\u00f6ber &amp; Marwitz 1993).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Damage Potential<\/em>:<\/strong>\u00a0 <em>Phytophthora tentaculata<\/em> causes moderate to severe root and crown rot on woody and semi-woody hosts.\u00a0 Introduction of <em>P. tentaculata<\/em>-infected native plants to restoration sites could negatively impact native plants in their natural environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Disease Cycle<\/em>:<\/strong> Generally, species of <em>Phytophthora<\/em> that cause root and stem rots survive cold winters or hot and dry summers as thick-walled, resting spores (oospores and chlamydospores) or mycelium in infected roots, stems or soil.\u00a0 During spring, the oospores and chlamydospores germinate to produce motile spores (zoospores) that swim around in soil water and roots of susceptible hosts. The pathogen infects the host at the soil line causing water soaking and darkening of the trunk bark. This infected area enlarges and may encircle the entire stem of small plants which wilt and eventually die.\u00a0 On large plants, the infected, necrotic area may be on one side of the stem and become a depressed canker below the level of the healthy bark.\u00a0 Collar rot canker may spread down the root system. Roots are invaded at the crown area or at ground level.\u00a0\u00a0 Mycelium and zoospores grow in abundance in cool, wet weather causing damage where the soil is too wet for normal growth of susceptible plants and low temperatures (15-23\u00b0C) prevail (Agrios, 2005). Little information is known about the life cycle or biology of <em>Phytophthora tentaculata <\/em>other than what was provided by the original species description by Kr\u00f6ber and Marwitz. The temperature range of the pathogen is 7\u00b0C to 32\u00b0C, the optimum temperature being 15\u00b0C to 25\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Transmission<\/em>:<\/strong> Like most <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species, <em>P. tentaculata<\/em> is soil-borne and water-borne and may be spread to non-infected sites through infected plants, nursery and planting stock, seedlings, soil, run-off and splash irrigation and rain water, and contaminated cultivation equipment and tools.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> Asia: China;
