Under natural conditions, mature <em>Q. robur<\/em> trees showed reductions in fine root length (Jung <em>et al.,<\/em> 1999).<\/p>\n<p><em>Damage Potential<\/em>:\u00a0 The extent of damage caused by <em>Phytophthora quercina<\/em> has not been reported.\u00a0 Several <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species including <em>P. quercina<\/em> are associated with oak decline disease.\u00a0 However, <em>P. quercina<\/em> has been shown to be pathogenic to some European <em>Quercus<\/em> species, such as <em>Q. robur<\/em> (Jung <em>et al<\/em>., 1999), and to be one of the most aggressive and most common species found in reported surveys in Europe (Jung <em>et al<\/em>., 1999, 2008; Balc\u00fd and Halmschlager 2002a, 2002b).\u00a0 In Italy, <em>P. quercina<\/em> was the only species significantly associated with declining oak trees (Vettraino <em>et al.,<\/em> 2002).<\/p>\n<p><em>Disease Cycle<\/em>: Although present in roots and rhizosphere soil of oaks exhibiting symptoms of oak decline, the precise role of <em>Phytophthora quercina<\/em> in this disease is not known and very little is known about its biology.\u00a0 Jung <em>et al.<\/em> (2008), reported that at least two different complex diseases are referred to as \u2018oak decline\u2019.\u00a0 On sites with a mean soil pH 3.5 or greater and sandy-loam to clayey soil texture, <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species were commonly isolated from rhizosphere soil, and highly significant correlations existed between crown transparency and various root parameters.\u00a0 However, in sites with a mean soil pH less than 3.9 and sandy to sandy-loam soils, <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species were not found. Biotic and abiotic stress factors such as drought and frost, may often act synergistically and accelerate <em>Phytophthora<\/em>-mediated decline of oaks.<\/p>\n<p>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). <em>Phytophthora quercina<\/em> is homothallic.\u00a0 Optimum growth in culture is at 20\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C, however, it is able to grow at temperatures as high as 27.5\u00b0C (Jung <em>et al.<\/em>, 1999; Barzanti <em>et al<\/em>., 2001).<\/p>\n<p><em>Transmission<\/em>: Like most <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species, <em>P. quercina<\/em> is soil-borne and water-borne and may be spread to non-infected sites through infected plants, nursery and planting stock, and seedlings, soil, run-off and splash irrigation and rain water, and contaminated cultivation equipment, tools, and boots.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Asia<\/em>: Turkey;
