Abstract
Pythium terrestris, Pythium spinosum, and ‘Candidatus Pythium huanghuaiense’ are closely related species and important pathogens of soybean that cause root rot. However, the sequences of commonly used molecular markers, such as rDNA internal transcribed spacer 2 and cytochrome oxidase 1 gene, are similar among these species, making it difficult to design species-specific primers for loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays. The genome sequences of these species are also currently un
