Mini Review Article: An annotated list of new<i>Phytophthora</i>species described post 1996

Abstract

The mini review gives the list of 39 novel Phytophthora species and 2 species hybrids identified and described by various authors following the publication of the handbook of Erwin and Ribeiro (1996). Based upon original reports, sources and locations of isolations, morpho-physiological features and phylogenetic status of each species nova , as compared to previously known species are also summarized. Ultimately, a list of taxa to be formally described outlines prospects of further research.
