Widespread symptoms of root rot and mortality on Juniperus communis and Microbiota decussata were observed in two horticultural nurseries in Oregon, leading to the isolation of a Phytophthora sp. from diseased roots. Based on morphology and sequencing the internal transcribed spacer ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region, isolates were identified as the invasive pathogen Phytophthora lateralis, causal agent of Port-Orford-cedar (POC; Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) root disease. Additional sequencing of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and 2 genes identified all isolates as belonging to the PNW lineage. Utilizing recovered isolates plus a POC-wildlands isolate and susceptible POC as controls, we completed Koch’s postulates on potted Juniperus and Microbiota plants. Nursery isolates were more aggressive than the forest isolate, which was used in the POC resistance breeding program. Increased aggressiveness was confirmed using a branch stem dip assay with four POC clones that differed in resistance, although no isolate completely overcame major-gene resistance. Isolates were sensitive to mefenoxam, a fungicide commonly used to suppress Phytophthora spp. growth in commercial nurseries. Although POC resistance is durable against these more aggressive nursery isolates, the expanded host range of P. lateralis challenges POC conservation through the continued movement of P. lateralis by the nursery industry.

Port Orford Cedar

Phytophthora lateralis, a pathogen of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford cedar or Lawson's cypress), was confirmed in France, but isolates from Germany identified as P. lateralis or “similar to” P. lateralis proved to be P. gonapodyides. Previously, P. lateralis was known only from western North America, where it has been destructive in nurseries, ornamental plantings, and the forest since its introduction about 1920 (1). Reports from other locations have proved to be misidentifications or impossible to confirm. In France, P. lateralis was isolated and identified from C. lawsoniana on two occasions (1996 and 1998) in different parts of the country, probably stemming from a single original infestation of young, potted, greenhouse-propagated cedars in a commercial nursery. German isolates were from an old culture collection and from irrigation water in a nursery growing a wide range of woody ornamentals. Identifications were confirmed by comparison (2) with authentic isolates. P. lateralis isolates from France and Oregon formed laterally proliferating, elongated obpyriform sporangia that under the conditions of our tests could be dislodged by agitation, leaving a short pedicel. Also, brown chlamydospores formed laterally on the hyphae or terminally on a short stalk and oospores were not formed on standard media. Radial growth was about 2 mm per day. In contrast, sporangia of German isolates and known P. gonapodyides isolates were similar. They exhibited nested pro liferation, were broader than P. lateralis sporangia, and were not readily dehiscent. Some P. gonapodyides isolates, including those from Germany, formed chlamydospores, but these were nearly all catenulate and not lateral, and isolates grew faster (3 to 4 mm per day). Pathogenicity was tested by stem inoculation of C. lawsoniana. P. lateralis from France and Oregon produced lesions averaging 4.7 cm after 2 months (range 2.0 to 8.1 cm, six replicates per isolate, five isolates) while the six replicates of the two German isolates averaged 1.2- and 1.6-cm lesion lengths. Furthermore, sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA from French and Oregon P. lateralis isolates were identical, while sequences of German isolates were similar to P. gonapodyides (J. Duncan and D. Cooke, personal communiation). P. lateralis is a dangerous pathogen of C. lawsoniana and is also pathogenic to Taxus spp. (1), although less aggressive on this host. If established, it would be a serious threat to the widespread ornamental plantings and scattered forest plantations of C. lawsoniana in Europe. References: (1) E. M. Hansen and K. J. Lewis.

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana

Phytophthora lateralis, the cause of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana root disease, was introduced in North America about 1920, and has since killed trees along roads and streams throughout the tree’s range. Recent results suggest an Asian origin for this oomycete and four genetic lineages were identified. This raised questions for the genetic exapted resistance demonstrated in 1989 within the wild population of C. lawsoniana but with only one P. lateralis lineage. The main goal of the present research was to test the durability of the demonstrated resistance and to compare the pathogenicity of isolates representing the four lineages. No breakdown of resistance was observed in five separate tests using different inoculation techniques, resistant and susceptible C. lawsoniana trees, and seedling families. Differences in mortality and lesion length were observed between the lineages. The higher aggressiveness of isolates of the TWJ and PNW lineages and the lower aggressiveness of the TWK lineage are discussed in view of the hypotheses on the history of spread and evolutionary history of the P. lateralis lineages.

Antifungal activities of essential oils have been extensively studied and these materials have the potential to replace synthetic biocides. In this study, the chemical composition of Leyland cypress (× Cupressocyparis leylandii), Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa), Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis), and Port Orford cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) foliage oils were determined and their antifungal activities on wood were analyzed. GC-MS analysis showed that monoterpenoids represented more than 90 percent of the oils except Port Orford cedar oil, where monoterpenoids comprised only one third of the oil. Cedar oils were reduced the growth of selected mold fungi and were capable of some inhibition of decay fungi, but could not completely protect wood from stain or decay fungi.
