Colonization of Different Grapevine Tissues by Plasmopara viticola—A Histological Study

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Plasmopara viticola, the downy mildew pathogen, is one of the most important pathogens in European viticulture. This oomycete infects grapevine leaves via zoospores that encyst at stomata.

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

POOE: predicting oomycete effectors based on a pre-trained large protein language model

mSystems
Oomycetes are fungus-like eukaryotic microorganisms which can cause catastrophic diseases in many plants. Successful infection of oomycetes depends highly on their effector proteins that are secreted into plant cells to subvert plant immunity.

The simple holocarpic oomycetes: Taxonomy and phylogenetic study

, 2020
The early-diverging oomycetes contain a large number of holocarpic obligate parasites of diatoms, algae, aquatic phycomycetes, and invertebrate animals. These organisms are diverse and widespread.

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

High-Throughput Chemical Screening Identifies Compounds that Inhibit Different Stages of the Phytophthora agathidicida and Phytophthora cinnamomi Life Cycles

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Oomycetes in the genus Phytophthora are among the most damaging plant pathogens worldwide. Two important species are Phytophthora cinnamomi, which causes root rot in thousands of native and agricultural plants, and Phytophthora agathidicida, which causes

Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Identification and Pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae, Colletotrichum, and Phytophthora Species Associated with Avocado Diseases in Italy

Agriculture
With the rapid expansion of avocado cultivation in southern Italy, growers have had to deal with the emergence of new diseases often caused by invasive and polyphagous pathogens responsible for leaf spot, branch cankers, dieback and fruit and root rot ...
