Popis: California contains a diverse flora, and knowledge of the pathogens that threaten those plants is essential to managing their long-term health. To better understand threats to California plant health, a meta-analysis of Phytophthora detections within the state was conducted using publicly available sequences as a primary source of data rather than published records. Accessions of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ribosomal DNA were cataloged from 800 Californian Phytophthora isolates, analyzed, and determined to correspond to 80 taxa, including several phylogenetically distinct provisional species. A number of Phytophthora taxa not previously reported from California were identified, including 20 described species. Pathways of introduction and spread were analyzed by categorizing isolates’ origins, grouped by land-use: (i) agriculture, (ii) forests and other natural ecosystems, (iii) horticulture and nurseries, or (iv) restoration outplantings. The pooled Phytophthora metacommunities of the restoration outplantings and horticulture land-use categories were the most similar, whereas the communities pooled from forests and agriculture were least similar. Phytophthora cactorum, P. pini, P. pseudocryptogea, and P. syringae were identified in all four land-use categories, while 13 species were found in three. P. gonapodyides was the most common species by number of ITS accessions and exhibited the greatest diversity of ITS haplotypes. P. cactorum, P. ramorum, and P. nicotianae were associated with the greatest number of host genera. In this analysis, the Phytophthora spp. most prevalent in California differ from those compiled from the scientific literature.
