220px|thumb|Clubroot on cauliflower Clubroot is a common disease of cabbages, canola, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, radishes, turnips, stocks, wallflowers and other plants of the family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae). It is caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, which was once considered a slime mold but is now a protist in the class Phytomyxea. It is the first phytomyxean for which the genome has been sequenced. The pathogen can evolve rapidly, and in Canada alone, 55 distinct pathotypes (sometimes called races) have been identified as of 2023, an increase from 43 pathotypes in 2020. It ca

species of protist

Gromia is a genus of protists, closely related to foraminifera, which inhabit marine and freshwater environments. It is the only genus of the family Gromiidae. Gromia are ameboid, producing filose pseudopodia that extend out from the cell's proteinaceous test through a gap enclosed by the cell's oral capsule. The test, a shell made up of protein that encloses the cytoplasm, is made up of several layers of membrane, which resemble honeycombs in shape – a defining character of this genus.

The Ascetosporea are a group of eukaryotes that are parasites of animals, especially marine invertebrates. The two groups, the haplosporids and paramyxids, are not particularly similar morphologically, but consistently group together on molecular trees, which place them near the base of the Cercozoa. Both produce spores without the complex structures found in similar groups (such as polar filaments or tubules).

Plasmodiophora is a genus in class Phytomyxea.

common disease of plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae)

Endomyxa is a group of eukaryotic organisms in the supergroup Rhizaria. They were initially a subphylum of Cercozoa and later a subphylum of Retaria, but several analyses have proven they are a phylogenetically separate lineage, and Endomyxa is currently regarded as its own phylum.

The plasmodiophores (also known as plasmophorids or plasmodiophorids) are a group of obligate endoparasitic protists belonging to the subphylum Endomyxa in Cercozoa. Taxonomically, they are united under a single family Plasmodiophoridae, order Plasmodiophorida, sister to the phagomyxids.

Gromiida is an order of Endomyxa. It is the only order in the class Gromiidea.

Proteomyxidea is a class of Endomyxa. Although it is known to be paraphyletic, further research is needed before its classification can be improved.
