Molecular studies on fish and plant pathogenic oomycetes
Oomycetes are a class of organisms within which there are a range of devastating pathogens with a variety of different hosts including plants and animals.

Exotic Plant Pathogen Reduces Habitat and Foraging Activities of a Digging Mammal
The invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi causes extensive damage to Australian ecosystems and likely degrades the habitats of many animals. This study investigated the impact of P. cinnamomi invasion on habitat and foraging of a bandicoot species.

A tale of two clades: genome evolution of oomycetes and fungi. [PDF]
Some of the most ecologically-significant pathogens of plants, animals and marine life come from two groups of filamentous eukaryotes; the oomycetes and the fungi.

Mediterranean ecosystems face complex, multi‐trophic impacts from global‐change drivers, yet responses are often studied in isolation. Using the Doñana Protected Area as a case study, we illustrate how anthropogenic pressures on key species like cork oaks and rabbits, as well as increases in species like wild boar and invasive crayfish, lead to ...

Some Oomycetes and Zygomycetes with asexual echinulate reproductive structures
Fungi producing ornamented asexual structures and belonging to the Oomycetes (Trachysphaera) or Zygomycetes (Azygozygum, Mortierella) are described.

ABSTRACT Invasive tree pathogens pose a significant and increasing threat to natural ecosystems. The outcome of these novel host‐pathogen interactions depends largely on the presence and nature of resistance in host populations, which will govern the host's potential to respond through natural selection and adaptation to the new threat.

ABSTRACT Saprolegniosis, also known as water mould, is a lethal disease caused by Saprolegnia oomycetes that threatens freshwater animals including fish, amphibians, and crustaceans, as well as aquaculture. It causes biodiversity loss and population declines, including those of endangered fishes.

Abstract Dietary macroalgae are known to contribute directly and indirectly to the gut microflora of abalone. However, certain farms require macroalgae to be made biosecure to eliminate microbiota and reduce their risk of acting as a vector for potential disease before being included as a dietary ingredient in aquafeeds.

We generated knockout mutants of two tomato genes proposed to be involved in α‐tomatine biosynthesis by genome editing. SlGAME2 mutants contained unaltered α‐tomatine contents; this gene is not involved in its synthesis. SlGAME4 mutants did not accumulate any glycoalkaloids but instead redirected resources towards steroidal saponin synthesis.
