Abstract:
Phytophthora, a genus of Oomycetes, is notorious due to its impact on agriculture worldwide. Since Phytophthora infestans de Bary was named in 1876, about 200 species of Phytophthora have been identified and published worldwide. So far, about 40 species of Phytophthora have been reported in Taiwan, including P. amaranthi、P. attenuate、P. bishii (= P. bisheria)、P. boehmeriae、P. cactorum、P. cambivora、P. capensis、P. capsici、P. castaneae (= P. katsurae)、P. chlamydospora、P. cinnamomi、P. citricola、P. citrophthora、P. colocasiae、P. cryptogea、P. cyperi、P. drechsleri、P. flexuosa、P. formosa、P. heveae、P. humicola、P. infestans、P. insolita、P. intricata、P. lateralis、P. leersiae、P. lepironae、P. litchii (= Peronophythora litchii)、P. macrospora、P. meadii、P. melonis、P. multivesiculata、P. nagaii、P. nicotianae (= P. parasitica)、P. niederhauserii、P. palmivora、P. parvispora、P. plurivora、P. tropicalis, and P. vignae. This article provides a comprehensive review of these species, focusing on their host ranges, publication dates, and related literature, in the hopes of serving as resources for further research. As taxonomic rules for hybrid species are not yet formalized, Phytophthora hybrids identified in Taiwan are not included in the discussion.
