Pytophthora
Classification
Kingdom : Mycota
Division : Eumycota
Subdivision : Mastigomycotina
Class : Oomycetes
Order : Pernosporales
Family : Pythiaceae
Genus : Phytophthora
![Page 3: Classification and diagnostic charecterstics of main plant pathogenic fungi](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5a6e25697f8b9aab3a8b61c1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Phytophthora
• Thallus is mycelial type and mycelium is branched, non-septate and
hyaline.
• The hyphae are localised in both intracellular and inter-cellular
position.
• Haustorium is present.
• Asexual reproduction by zoospores which are produced in sporangia.
• The superficial somatic hyphae produce abundant sporangiophores.
• Sporangiophore is sympodially branched at maturity and produces
sporangia laterally. It is very little differentiated from the somatic
hyphae.
• Sporangium is thin-walled, lemon-shaped with an apical papilla.
• Sexual reproduction by oospore.
• Oospore is thick-walled, spherical and develops singly in each
oogonium. It is formed by the union of antheridium and oogonium
arranged in amphigynous manner.

• Each sporangium appears elliptical to globose, blunt, withoutany apical papilla. They are hyaline or light-coloured.
• Oospore is thick-walled and somewhat spherical. It is formed bythe union of antheridium and oogonium. Each oogonium hasone oospore with periplasm
• Gametangia morphologically distinguishable as male and femalegametangia.
