Phytophthora capsici is a plant pathogenic oomycete that damages numerous crops worldwide. Consequently, interest in research on the genetic structure of this species has grown in recent decades. However, there is little information about P. capsici in eastern China. We investigated the genetic diversity of P. capsici isolates from three large regions of Anhui Province in eastern China based on...

Phytophthora capsici is an aggressive plant pathogen that affects solanaceous and cucurbitaceous hosts. Necrosis-inducing Phytophthora proteins (NPPs) are a group of secreted toxins found particularly in oomycetes. Several NPPs from Phytophthora species trigger plant cell death and activate host defense gene expression. We isolated 18 P. capsici NPP genes, of which 12 were active during hypha g...

In order to investigate the Oomyceteous species of the rice paddy fields of Fars province (Iran), during 2013–15, infected roots and crowns together with soil around seedlings and irrigation water were sampled. Based on the morphological, morphometric and physiological studies along with phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer sequences based on neighbor joining method, two Phytoph...

GOTTLIEB, D., R. J. KNAUS, and S. G. WOOD. 1978. Differences in the Sterol synthesizing pathways of sterol-producing and non-sterol-producing fungi. Phytopathology 68: I 168-1169. The mycelia of several sterol-producing and non-sterolsqualene was detected in the non-sterol-producing fungi. The producing fungi were analyzed for the presence of squalene, block in the synthesis of ergosterol by th...

UNLABELLED Phytophthora ramorum is an oomycete plant pathogen classified in the kingdom Stramenopila. P. ramorum is the causal agent of sudden oak death on coast live oak and tanoak as well as ramorum blight on woody ornamental and forest understorey plants. It causes stem cankers on trees, and leaf blight or stem dieback on ornamentals and understorey forest species. This pathogen is managed i...
