ABSTRACT
Common sage or Dalmatian sage
(Salvia officinalis L.) is a
perennial plant (subshrub), native to the Mediterranean region. This research was
conducted to identify the fungi species which
cause a sudden damping-off disease in some common sage
plantation, in the coastal experimental areas of Antalya and Izmir provinces of
Turkey. The infected plant materials were collected from Mediterranean and
Eagean regions which showed root and crown rots typical of Phytophthora sp. symptoms. Ten plants having those symptoms were used for
identification of the causal agent by Phytophthora selective medium. A new Phytophthora species was isolated and identified as P.
cryptogea as a result of morphological and molecular characteristics of DNA
base sequences of internal transcribed spacer
(ITS) regions. Pathogenicity of P. cryptogea was proved on rooted cuttings of common sage. This is
the first report of P. cryptogea on
common sage in Turkey.
