P. nicotianae has been reported on 255 plant genera. Tobacco roots and crowns are the primary areas for disease symptoms but lower canopy leaf lesions can arise following initial infection. P. nicotianae can be isolated with semi-selective media from symptomatic tissue, contaminated water, and soil samples. The objective of this diagnostic guide is to provide a collection of current descriptions and methods for the symptomology, isolation, storage, and identification of P. nicotianae.}, journal={PLANT HEALTH PROGRESS}, author={Cochran, Sarah and Quesada-Ocampo, Lina M. and Kerns, James P. and Thiessen, Lindsey D.}, year={2024}, month={May} }
 @article{thiessen_schappe_cochran_hicks_post_2020, title={Surveying for Potential Diseases and Abiotic Disorders of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa) Production}, volume={21}, ISSN={["1535-1025"]}, DOI={10.1094/PHP-03-20-0017-RS}, abstractNote={ Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has recently been reintroduced as an agricultural commodity in the United States, and, through state-led pilot programs, growers and researchers have been investigating production strategies. Diseases and disorders of industrial hemp in the United States are largely unknowns because record-keeping and taxonomy have improved dramatically in the last several decades. In 2016, North Carolina launched a pilot program to investigate industrial hemp, and diseases and abiotic disorders were surveyed in 2017 and 2018. Producers, consultants, and agricultural extension agents submitted samples to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agronomic Services Division (n = 572) and the North Carolina Plant Disease and Insect Clinic (n = 117). Common field diseases found included Fusarium foliar and flower blights (Fusarium graminearum), Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), and Helminthosporium leaf spot (Exserohilum rostratum). Greenhouse diseases were primarily caused by Pythium spp. and Botrytis cinerea. Common environmental disorders were attributed to excessive rainfall flooding roots and poor root development of transplanted clones. }, number={4}, journal={PLANT HEALTH PROGRESS}, author={Thiessen, Lindsey D. and Schappe, Tyler and Cochran, Sarah and Hicks, Kristin and Post, Angela R.}, year={2020}, pages={321–332} }
