Therefore, strict regulations of international trade exist for particularly harmful pathogenic organisms. <italic>Phytophthora plurivora,</italic> which is not subject to regulations, is a plant pathogen frequently found on a broad range of host species, both in natural and artificial environments. It is supposed to be native to Europe while resident populations are also present in the US. We characterized a hierarchical sample of isolates from Europe and the US and conducted coalescent-, migration, and population genetic analysis of sequence and microsatellite data, to determine the pathways of spread and the demographic history of this pathogen. We found <italic>P. plurivora</italic> populations to be moderately diverse but not geographically structured. High levels of gene flow were observed within Europe and unidirectional from Europe to the US. Coalescent analyses revealed a signal of a recent expansion of the global <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population. Our study shows that <italic>P. plurivora</italic> has most likely been spread around the world by nursery trade of diseased plant material. In particular, <italic>P. plurivora</italic> was introduced into the US from Europe. International trade has allowed the pathogen to colonize new environments and/or hosts, resulting in population growth.</p></div></front><back><div1

Therefore, strict regulations of international trade exist for particularly harmful pathogenic organisms. <italic>Phytophthora plurivora,</italic> which is not subject to regulations, is a plant pathogen frequently found on a broad range of host species, both in natural and artificial environments. It is supposed to be native to Europe while resident populations are also present in the US. We characterized a hierarchical sample of isolates from Europe and the US and conducted coalescent-, migration, and population genetic analysis of sequence and microsatellite data, to determine the pathways of spread and the demographic history of this pathogen. We found <italic>P. plurivora</italic> populations to be moderately diverse but not geographically structured. High levels of gene flow were observed within Europe and unidirectional from Europe to the US. Coalescent analyses revealed a signal of a recent expansion of the global <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population. Our study shows that <italic>P. plurivora</italic> has most likely been spread around the world by nursery trade of diseased plant material. In particular, <italic>P. plurivora</italic> was introduced into the US from Europe. International trade has allowed the pathogen to colonize new environments and/or hosts, resulting in population growth.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>This study was funded by COST Switzerland (project SER C10.0129) and supported by an international short visit grant of the Swiss National Science Foundation to CNS.

Other well known invasive fungal diseases include those affecting major food crops, such as the rice blast disease (<italic>Magnaporthe oryzae</italic>, Ascomycota) which cause severe losses of harvests of wheat and barley <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Ou1">[8]</xref> or the downy mildews of grapevines (<italic>Plasmopara viticola</italic>) and hop (<italic>Pseudoperonospora humili</italic>) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Hoernbe1">[9]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Salinari1">[10]</xref>.</p><p>Nonetheless, there are also invasive pathogens with less dramatic consequences that may be difficult to detect. This applies, for example, to invasive pathogens that infect native host species, which are present at low frequencies in specific ecosystems and/or only play a marginal ecological role. Furthermore, pathogens that have established in a non-native ecosystem a long time ago and have, in the meanwhile, become part of this ecosystem are not necessarily considered invasive anymore. Historic records may be helpful, as it is the case for the root fungus <italic>Armillaria mellea</italic> that was introduced to South Africa by Dutch settlers more than 300 years ago, but remained undetected until recently <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Coetzee1">[11]</xref>. Finally, the character of invasiveness is difficult to assess in species with a broad natural distribution range and the ability to spread over long distances, as with many fungi do <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Fisher1">[12]</xref>.</p><p>Several invasive diseases are well known and are being increasingly reported in forest ecosystems worldwide <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Santini1">[13]</xref>. Current examples include chestnut blight (<italic>Cryphonectria parasitica</italic>) in North America and Europe <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Prospero1">[14]</xref> and, more recently, ash (<italic>Fraxinus</italic> sp.) dieback caused by the ascomycete fungus <italic>Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus</italic> in Europe <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-McKinney1">[15]</xref>.

Most of these pathogenic species are considered to be exotic in the ecosystems they have invaded and damaged.

To date, the global population structure and the pathways of spread of most forest <italic>Phytophthora</italic> species are still poorly understood.</p><p><italic>Phytophthora plurivora,</italic> one of the four species of the former <italic>P. citricola</italic> species complex, is a widespread pathogen in different environments in Europe <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Jung1">[19]</xref>. In forests, this species acts as a fine root pathogen and is involved in widespread declines of European beech (<italic>Fagus sylvatica</italic>) and oak species (<italic>Quercus</italic> sp.; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Jung2">[20]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Jung3">[21]</xref>).

On other continents, <italic>P. plurivora</italic> has only been sporadically found in plantations and nurseries, e.g. in Australia and South Africa. Due to its regular recovery from natural ecosystems in Europe and its rare recovery in other continents, <italic>P. plurivora</italic> is generally assumed to be native to Europe. However, to this date scientific evidence is missing to confirm this hypothesis.</p><p><italic>Phytophthora plurivora</italic> is considered to be a homothallic species <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Jung1">[19]</xref>. Homothallic species are characterized by the presence of only one mating type and by the production of sexual spores (oospores) by self-fertilization <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Ni1">[27]</xref>. Accordingly, the formation of oospores is frequently observed in pure cultures of <italic>P. plurivora</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Jung1">[19]</xref>. Although homothallism is the most common mode of reproduction in the genus <italic>Phytophthora</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Martin1">[28]</xref>, the most detailed studies have been conducted on heterothallic species (e.g. <italic>P. ramorum</italic>, <italic>P. infestans</italic>, and <italic>P. cinnamomi</italic>). Therefore, little detailed information is available about the consequences of a homothallic mating system on the expected genetic diversity of <italic>Phytophthora</italic> populations.</p><p>With the advent of molecular tools it is now possible to assess whether a pathogen is invasive and determine the most probable center of origin <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Grnwald1">[29]</xref>. As species-specific molecular markers are nowadays relatively easy to develop <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Schoebel1">[30]</xref>, it is highly feasible to use them to reconstruct the main pathways of spread and to investigate the genetic population structure of emerging infectious pathogens <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Gladieux1">[31]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Dutech1">[33]</xref>.

Specifically, we addressed the following questions and related hypotheses: (i) do microsatellite and sequence data support a homothallic mating system in <italic>P. plurivora</italic>? We hypothesized that in that case no traces of recombination should be present in the sequenced genes and that microsatellite data should reveal a high degree of inbreeding; (ii) what are the main directions of gene flow within the global <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population? We hypothesized that the US populations originated from Europe; (iii) is the European <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population geographically structured? Because of the frequent association of <italic>P. plurivora</italic> with nursery trade, we hypothesized that no significant geographic structure is present in Europe; and (iv) what kind of demographic trend (i.e. expansion, reduction, or stability) is detectable in the global <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population? Given the detection of <italic>P. plurivora</italic> in different environments and geographic ranges, we would exclude a population reduction as a demographic trend and hypothesize that the population is either stable or expanding. To answer these questions, we genotyped and sequenced <italic>P. plurivora</italic> isolates derived from Europe and the US.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="s2"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec id="s2a"><title>Phytophthora plurivora <italic>isolates</italic></title><p>In the present study, a total of 359 <italic>Phytophthora plurivora</italic> isolates from 16 countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, England, France, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Turkey, and the US) were analyzed.

As discussed by Gladieux et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Gladieux1">[31]</xref>, the power of the g-test to detect recent population expansion is low, especially when the mutation rate across loci is high <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Donnelly1">[48]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-King1">[49]</xref>.

evidence of a bottleneck using the software BOTTLENECK v. 1.2.02 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Cornuet1">[50]</xref>. The Wilcoxon-test and the infinite allele model (IAM) of mutations were used. Populations that have recently gone through a severe reduction in the effective population size show a faster reduction in allele number than in heterozygosity. Therefore, the observed heterozygosity is higher than the expected equilibrium heterozygosity as calculated for a population of constant size. For the analyses, data were divided into two populations: Europe (including samples from Turkey) and the US.</p><p><bold>Gene flow.</bold> The software BAYESASS v. 3.0 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Wilson1">[51]</xref> was used to obtain an estimate of the magnitude and direction of contemporary gene flow between pairs of populations. BAYESASS uses a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) algorithm to estimate the posterior probability distribution of the proportion of migrants (M) from one population to another without assuming genetic equilibrium. MCMC chains were run in five independent runs for 100,000,000 generations (10,000,000 burn in) with a sampling frequency of 1,000. To assess the optimal mixing parameters for allele frequencies (a), inbreeding coefficients (f) and migration rates (m), we ran 10 additional short MCMC runs. Short runs consisted of 5,000,000 generations (burn-in 1,000,000) with the same sampling frequency. If the acceptance rate of a run is too high, the chain does not mix well and thus does not explore the state space adequately. By increasing the proposal step size for the mixing parameters a, f and m, the acceptance rate could be decreased. However, mixing parameters could not be fully decreased to the recommended acceptance threshold of 20 – 40%. This might be due to the high degree of inbreeding in our populations (see Results for details). For the final runs, the mixing parameters m = 0.9, a = 0.5 and f = 0.5 were used. For migration rate m = 0.1 was chosen as the relevant cut-off <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Brelsfoard1">[52]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Muscarella1">[54]</xref>.</p><p><bold>Genotype clustering.</bold> Population assignment tests were carried out using STRUCTURE v. 2.3.3 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Pritchard1">[55]</xref>. STRUCTURE estimates the probability of genotypes being distributed into K number of clusters (K = 1 – n). For all 221 isolates (for details see Table A of File S1), the membership coefficient for every cluster was calculated. An admixture model without prior population information was implemented assuming correlated allele frequencies and using 1,000,000 MCMC sampling repeats (burn-in 100,000). Ten independent runs each for K = 1–10 were carried out. The optimal number of clusters is generally set at the threshold at which the mean logarithm of the probability of the data [Ln P(X|K)] reaches a plateau, i.e. no additional information can be obtained from increasing the number of clusters any further <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Pritchard1">[55]</xref>.

Previous studies have indicated that selfing reduces genetic diversity and effective population size and hence considerably increases the level of homozygosity relative to sexual populations <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Francis1">[71]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Charlesworth1">[73]</xref>. Therefore, we hypothesized that in <italic>P. plurivora</italic> low levels of recombination should be present in the sequenced genes and that microsatellite data should reveal a high degree of inbreeding. Our results provide evidence of low levels of recombination given that five out of seven genes show no recombination (exception: <italic>TigA</italic> with two recombination events and <italic>HSP90</italic> with one event) and a significant excess of homozygosity at all microsatellite loci. These results are further supported by our rejection of the null hypothesis of no linkage among loci in most populations as measured by the index of association.</p><p>High degrees of homozygosity were previously observed in <italic>P. alni</italic> subsp. <italic>uniformis</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Aguayo1">[74]</xref> and in <italic>P. sojae</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Dorrance1">[75]</xref>, which are, to our knowledge, the only other homothallic <italic>Phytophthora</italic> species that have been investigated so far using population genetic tools. However, <italic>P. alni</italic> subsp. <italic>uniformis</italic> and <italic>P. sojae</italic> present important ecological differences compared to <italic>P. plurivora</italic>. The first is most likely exotic to Europe and, thus, the low genetic diversity and the homozygosity excess observed at some loci may be a consequence of the fixation or loss of specific alleles after its introduction into the new continent. The latter is a pathogen of soybean in agricultural fields whose origin remains uncertain <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Dorrance1">[75]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Gijzen1">[76]</xref>. <italic>P. plurivora</italic> is expected to be native to Europe and the significant deficit of heterozygosity detected at all loci could support this hypothesis. In fact, if we consider that in self-fertile, diploid species heterozygosity should decrease by 50% in each generation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Goodwin1">[72]</xref>, there should be hardly any heterozygous loci detectable in native populations of homothallic <italic>Phytophthora</italic> species.</p><p>Different modes of homothallism are described in literature, including two nuclei in one spore, two either linked or unlinked mating types in one nucleus, two mating types in one nucleus that undergo mating type switching, or only one mating type present at all <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Ni1">[27]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Billiard1">[77]</xref>. In general, Phytophthoras are considered homothallic if they are able to form oospores (i.e. sexual spores) in single cultures. However, at present no detailed information on the mode of homothallism in the genus <italic>Phytophthora</italic> exists. The presence of two genes (<italic>TigA</italic> and <italic>HSP90</italic>) showing clear traces of recombination events might suggest that in <italic>P. plurivora</italic> outcrossing, although rare, is or was possible. The potential to outcross was previously described for the homothallic species <italic>Pythium ultimum</italic> (oomycete) and for <italic>P. sojae</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Francis1">[71]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Foerster1">[78]</xref>.</p><p>In plant taxa, self-fertilization is commonly expected to be an evolutionary dead end as it is accompanied by the loss of genetic diversity and, thus, by a reduction of the chances to adapt to new and/or changing environments. For this reason, selfing lineages often go extinct, whereas new lineages are started by outcrossing precursors <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Igic1">[79]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Stebbins1">[80]</xref>. Although the self-fertilization as a dead end (SEDE) hypothesis was formulated more than 50 years ago <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Stebbins1">[80]</xref>, we still do not know whether this hypothesis also applies to fungi and oomycetes. Most <italic>Phytophthora</italic> species are plant parasites and, thus, for survival rely on a host. For host species, vegetative reproduction and self fertilization is considered disadvantageous as clonal hosts, lacking genetic variability created through recombination, face an evolutionary disadvantage. On the contrary, outcrossing hosts may escape the pressure imposed by coevolving parasites through sexual recombination (Red Queen Hypothesis; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Jaenike1">[81]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Hamilton1">[82]</xref>). In parasites, a high genetic diversity allows a rapid adaptation to changing host defences (antagonistic co-evolution), which would suggest that selfing may have evolutionary disadvantages for both the host and the parasite. Nonetheless, a recent review, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Igic1">[79]</xref> discussed the fact that the evolution of self-fertilization might purge harmful mutations which should reduce inbreeding depression. Furthermore, selfing allows a successful reproduction without the presence of an appropriate mating partner. This option may be particularly useful once an organism is founding a population in a novel geographical area.</p><p>Our sequence data indicate that the origin of <italic>P. plurivora</italic> is mostly likely Europe rather than the US, as sequence diversity in European populations is higher than in US populations. In fact, theory predicts that ancestral populations should show increased polymorphism compared to more recent populations <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Dean1">[83]</xref>. Among 33 <italic>P. plurivora</italic> individuals, we identified six mitochondrial haplotypes, four of them only present in Europe, one only found in the US, and one shared between the US and the Czech Republic. The most common haplotype (central haplotype in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0085368-g002">Fig. 2</xref>, see also Table D, File S1), which only occurs in Europe, does not seem to be the ancestral haplotype for <italic>ITS</italic> and <italic>cox I</italic> based on gene genealogy (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0085368.s002">Fig. S1</xref>). Its broad occurrence may indicate that this haplotype was particularly frequent in plant nurseries and has been spread around via international trade of plant material. The two most likely ancestral haplotypes were, however, found amongst European isolates only.</p><p>Microsatellite data also indirectly support a European origin of <italic>P. plurivora</italic>. Migration analyses conducted with the software BAYESASS detected unidirectional gene flow from Europe to the US and not <italic>vice versa</italic>. The presence of a bottleneck in the US <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population was tested for sequence as well as for microsatellite data. For sequence data (both nuclear and mitochondrial sequences) we did not detect any sign of recent bottlenecks. Conducting two specific tests for microsatellite data using the software BOTTLENECK, however, we obtained contradictory results; on one hand, the Wilcoxon test indicated no visible traces of bottleneck, whereas on the other hand, the mode shift test suggested a significant bottleneck. The structure of the data set and the assumptions for the two tests may explain this particular situation. A bottleneck might not be detected if sample sizes are small, the individuals used are not entirely representing the populations, or if the population subject to a bottleneck is not completely isolated. Additionally, one assumption for these tests is that loci are under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, which was not the case in the present study. Hence, larger samples sizes, especially for the US populations, would be needed to increase the chance of detecting bottleneck effects with microsatellite markers. In order to draw definite conclusions about the centre of origin of <italic>P. plurivora</italic>, further samples from other continents should be analysed, as the present study only includes samples from Europe and North America. Furthermore, the possiblity of an initial introduction to Europe from elsewhere and then from Europe to the US should also be considered.</p><p>Based on our analyses, <italic>P. plurivora</italic> has been introduced into the US from Europe, most probably from Belgium and the Netherlands. No significant gene flow was detected between the two US populations, which suggests that two independent introductions from Europe most likely occurred. In mainland Europe, Germany seems to have been the most important <italic>P. plurivora</italic> source for the Alps, the Balkans, and Eastern Europe. Populations in Finland and Italy show low levels of gene flow with other European <italic>P. plurivora</italic> populations, but this might be associated with the small samples size of these specific populations. Due to significant differences in sample sizes between countries, we cannot exclude a bias in the migration analysis towards countries with large sample sizes. Therefore, to definitely confirm our hypotheses about gene flow among and from European countries to North America, a larger number of samples from both forests and nurseries from each country should be analysed. Our findings concur with previous studies that found that nursery trade is an important source for the spread of plant diseases. According to Liebhold et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Liebhold1">[3]</xref>, about 70% of the non-native forest pests established in US forests have been introduced through the trade of live plants. Goss et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Goss1">[18]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Goss2">[84]</xref> showed that <italic>P. ramorum</italic> has been dispersed over long distances by means of nursery trade and shipments of infected host plants across the US and the US-Canadian border, as well as from Europe to the US. The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are important producers and exporters of ornamentals worldwide <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Lawson1">[85]</xref>. Amongst the ornamental plants cultivated and traded, rhododendrons play a major role and are a main host of <italic>P. plurivora</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Prospero2">[23]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Warfield1">[86]</xref>. Our hypothesis that <italic>P. plurivora</italic> spread within Europe and from Europe to the US through infected plants coming from these three countries may therefore be well founded. Several US isolates considered in this study originated from natural environments (i.e. streams, ponds, forest soil) and residential areas, indicating that <italic>P. plurivora</italic> has already become established in the wild, both on the East and West Coast of the US. In a study on the fungal wheat pathogen <italic>Mycosphaerella graminicola</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0085368-Banke1">[87]</xref>, it was suggested that microsatellite loci with recently emerged rare alleles are particularly useful to detect migration events. Accordingly, we may speculate that in our study the gene flow estimates based on microsatellite data could reflect the most recent gene flow events. Assuming that <italic>P. plurivora</italic> has spread mainly through nursery trade, we could hypothesize that the gene flow detected occurred during the past 50 to 100 years. This time frame coincides with global commercial trade expansion and when nursery trade between European countries as well as between Europe and the US has flourished.</p><p>According to the high levels of gene flow observed, no clear pattern of geographic structure could be detected within the <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population in Europe. The European isolates analyzed belonged to four divergent microsatellite clusters. Only three and two of them were present on the West and East Coast of the US, respectively. The lineage completely missing in the US was associated with <italic>P. plurivora</italic> isolates obtained from German and Swiss nurseries, as well as with a few isolates originating from Turkish and Slovenian forests. Noteworthy, all isolates recovered from alder (<italic>Alnus</italic> sp.) stands belonged to the same lineage and were detected both in Europe and the US West Coast. By performing inoculation test, it would be possible to verify whether <italic>P. plurivora</italic> genotypes from this specific lineage are better adapted to alder species than genotypes from the other lineages.</p><p>In conclusion, our genetic analyses support a homothallic mating system in the plant pathogen <italic>P. plurivora.</italic> Moreover, they show that this species was most likely introduced from Europe (Belgium and the Netherlands) to both the East and West coasts of the US. In mainland Europe, <italic>P. plurivora</italic> may have primarily been spread from German nurseries. The importance of human-mediated international trade for the dispersal of this pathogen is also reflected by the lack of geographic structuring in the <italic>P. plurivora</italic> population sampled in this study. None of the four genetic clusters detected among the analyzed samples corresponded to a specific geographic region. A recent population expansion was detected, which might be due to the human mediated establishment of <italic>P. plurivora</italic> in new environments or on new host plants. While strict regulations exist for quarantine organisms in international plant trade (e.g. inspections, monitoring), indigenous pathogens and pests are usually not subject to such policies. Our analyses, however, indicate that the international plant trade is a major pathway of spread also for non-invasive plant pathogens. Therefore, we would like to emphasize that the unintentional spread of dangerous but non-regulated organisms with diseased plant material should not be underestimated. Similarly to quarantine organisms, non-regulated pathogens may negatively affect local ecosystems and long-term consequences for biodiversity still remain unknown.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="s5"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0085368.s001"><label>File S1</label><caption><p><bold>Includes supplementary tables A, B, C and D.</bold> Table A: Origin and supporting information on the <italic>Phytophthora plurivora</italic> isolates used in the STRUCTURE analysis.
