Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus Fusarium graminearum, is one of the major threats to global wheat productivity. A wheat pore-forming toxin-like (PFT) protein was previously reported to underlie Fhb1, the most widely used ...

Isolation of two triterpenoids from Phlomis purpurea, one of them with anti-oomycete activity against Phytophthora cinnamomi, and insights into its biosynthetic pathway [PDF]
Phytophthora cinnamomi is an important plant pathogen responsible for dieback diseases in plant genera including Quercus, Fagus, Castanea, Eucalyptus, and Pinus, among others, all over the world. P.

Genome sequence of the necrotrophic plant pathogen Pythium ultimum reveals original pathogenicity mechanisms and effector repertoire [PDF]
Background: Pythium ultimum (P. ultimum) is a ubiquitous oomycete plant pathogen responsible for a variety of diseases on a broad range of crop and ornamental species. Results: The P.

Comparative Analysis of Oomycete Genome Evolution Using the Oomycete Gene Order Browser (OGOB) [PDF]
The oomycetes are a class of microscopic, filamentous eukaryotes within the stramenopiles–alveolates–rhizaria eukaryotic supergroup. They include some of the most destructive pathogens of animals and plants, such as Phytophthora infestans, the causative ...

The mysterious route of sterols in oomycetes
Sterols are a class of lipids with essential roles in sustaining the domain structure of cell membranes and regulating biological processes [1]. Human health is affected by high cholesterol levels [2]; drugs preventing this are widely used. Also striking is the high demand for compounds classified as sterol biosynthesis inhibitors (SBIs), either as ...

Gene gain and loss during evolution of obligate parasitism in the white rust pathogen of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Biotrophic eukaryotic plant pathogens require a living host for their growth and form an intimate haustorial interface with parasitized cells. Evolution to biotrophy occurred independently in fungal rusts and powdery mildews, and in oomycete white rusts ...
