These organisms have been first assigned to the green alga genus Coelastrum , as they form very similar spherical structures, but the observation of heterokont zoospores has led to their reclassification to the phylum Oomycota . However, despite their widespread nature, these organisms are only known from their descriptive morphology, and life cycle traits of some species still remain incompletely known. Only the type species, D. chodatii , has been rediscovered several times, but the phylogeny of the genus remains unresolved, since none of its species has been studied for their molecular phylogeny. At present the genus is still included in some algal databases. To clarify the evolutionary affiliation of Ducellieria , efforts were undertaken to isolate D. chodatii from pollen grains, to infer its phylogenetic placement based on nrSSU sequences. By targeted isolation, the pollen endoparasitoid was rediscovered from three lakes in Germany (Mummelsee, Okertalsperre, Knappensee). Apart from the typical coelastrum-like spheroids, oomycetes sporulating directly from pollen grains in a lagenidium-like fashion were observed, and molecular sequences of both types of oomycetes were obtained. Phylogenetic reconstruction revealed that coelastrum-like and lagenidium-like forms are unrelated, with the former embedded within the deep branching early-diverging lineages, and the later stage forming a distinct clade in Peronosporales . Consequently, the life cycle of D. chodatii needs careful revision using single-spore isolates of the species, to infer if previous lifecycle reconstructions that involve various different thallus types are stages of a single species or potentially of several ones.","PeriodicalId":73121,"journal":{"name":"Fungal systematics and evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135057245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plasmopara halstedii has historically been identified as the causal agent of this disease, considered a complex of species affecting nearly 35 genera in various tribes. However, with the use of molecular DNA characters for phylogenetic studies, distinct lineages of P. halstedii in the Asteraceae have been identified, confirmed as distinct or segregated as new species. During August of 2022, a downy mildew was observed on potted Echinacea purpurea grown in a retail greenhouse in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, USA. Phylogenetic analyses of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 ( cox2 ) and nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA (nc LSU rDNA) gene regions indicated these Plasmopara sp. isolates are not conspecific with P. halstedii . Based on phylogenetic evidence and new host association, the Plasmopara isolates from E. purpurea are here described as Plasmopara echinaceae . Diagnostic morphological characters for this new species were not observed when compared with other isolates of P. halstedii or other Plasmopara species found on Asteraceae hosts, and therefore a list of species-specific substitutions in the cox2 region are provided as diagnostic characters. As this study corresponds to the first observation of downy mildew in cone flowers, it is recommended to follow the required disease prevention guidelines to prevent outbreaks and the establishment of this plant pathogen in production sites.","PeriodicalId":73121,"journal":{"name":"Fungal systematics and evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135649800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
