Abstract
Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora) is a medicinal plantfrom the Verbenacea family. Its plantation and medicinal use in Iranhas risen greatly in recent years. Crown and root rot symptoms wereobserved on this plant in some farms and greenhouses of Kermanprovince during November 2012. The infected plants were taken tothe laboratory. Then, samples of infected root tissues were removedand were surface sterilized with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and culturedonto CMA-PARPH medium. Based on morphological features,the isolated fungus was identified as Phytophthora cactorum.Pathogenicity test was performed using inoculated wheat seeds. Toour knowledge this is the first report of Phytophthora cactorum onlemon verbena in Iran.
期刊介绍：
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany is an international journal that publishes on the broadest aspects of plant biology and ecology. The journal welcomes the original and exciting submissions that provide new and fundamental insights into the origins, development, and function of plants from the molecular to the whole organism and its interactions within the biotic and abiotic environment. Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany publishes outstanding research in the plant and ecology sciences, especially in the areas of plant physiology and biochemistry, plant metabolism, plant ecology and evolution, as well as those making use of synthetic, modeling, bioinformatics, and -omics tools. Manuscripts submitted to this journal must not be under simultaneous consideration or have been published elsewhere, either in part or in whole.
