Abstract

Phytophthora, with 203 species, is a genus of high importance in agriculture worldwide. Here we present the online resource "IDphy" (Link) developed to facilitate the correct identification of species of Phytophthora using the type specimens from the original descriptions wherever possible. IDphy emphasizes species of high economic impact and regulatory concern for the United States. IDphy presents an interactive Lucid key and a tabular key for 161 culturable species described as of May 2018, including 141 ex-types and 20 well-authenticated specimens. IDphy contains SOPs for morphological and molecular characterization, as well as a glossary, image gallery, and numerous links. Each of the 161 factsheets includes access to nomenclature, morphological and molecular features, including sequences of ITS rDNA, COI (barcoding genes), YPT1, β-tub, EF1α, L10, HSP90 and other genes. IDphy contains an innovative in silico BLAST and phylogenetic sequence analysis using NCBI. The IDphy Mobile App, released in August 2021 (free for Android or iOS) (Link) allows users to take the Lucid key into the laboratory. IDphy is the first online identification tool based on the ex-types implemented for plant pathogens. In this manuscript, we also include information for 21 new species and one hybrid described after the publication of IDphy, the status of the specimens of the Types and ex-types at international herbaria and culture collections, and the status of genomes at the GenBank (currently 153 genome assemblies which correspond to 42 described species including 16 ex-types). The model's effectiveness of the IDphy online resource and the content of this manuscript could inspire other researchers to develop additional identification tools for other important groups of plant pathogens.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 86. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 June 2023.
All research outputs
#496,818
of 25,392,582 outputs
Outputs from Plant Disease
#11
of 4,708 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#11,114
of 410,926 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Disease
#1
of 152 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,392,582 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,708 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 410,926 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 152 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
