A Comprehensive Protocol for Improving the Description of Saprolegniales (Oomycota): Two Practical Examples (Saprolegnia aenigmatica sp. nov. and Saprolegnia racemosa sp. nov.)
Fig 4
Discriminant linear function plot of morphological features of Saprolegnia aenigmatica sp. nov. and Saprolegnia racemosa sp. nov.
The morphological features (sporangia length, sporangia breadth, cyst diameter, oogonia length, oogonia breadth, oogonia ratio (l/b), oospore number and oospore diameter) per isolate were used to separate S. aenigmatica (circles) from S. racemosa (triangles). Linear dimension 1 (LD1) explained 61.5% and linear dimension 2 (LD2) explained 16.8% of variance. The percentage of correct identifications based on measurements of morphological characters was 92.38% for isolates of the S. aenigmatica and 94.17% for S. racemosa.
