Phytophthora fragariae

TaxID: 53985

Basic Information

Phytophthora fragariae

Red Core of Strawberry, Red Stele or Lanarkshire Disease

Phytophthora fragariae is a fungus-like (oomycete) plant pathogen that causes red stele, otherwise known as Lanarkshire disease, in strawberries. Symptoms of red stele can include a red core in the roots, wilting of leaves, reduced flowering, stunting, and bitter fruit. The pathogen is spread via zoospores swimming through water present in the soil, released from sporangia.

Morphological Features

Sporangia are non-papillate, persistent, obpyriform to ovoid to ellipsoid, measuring 28–56 × 27–49 µm, with internal and nested proliferation. Chlamydospores are absent. Hyphal swellings are coralloid to globose, solitary or in chains. The fungus is homothallic. Oogonia are smooth-walled, frequently globose (28–46 µm in diameter) with a tapered base. Antheridia are predominantly amphigynous, measuring 16–30 × 12–22 µm. Oospores are plerotic to aplerotic, spherical (24–44 µm in diameter), turning golden brown with age and often containing a single large globule.
