TOR Inhibitors Synergistically Suppress the Growth and Development of Phytophthora infestans, a Highly Destructive Pathogenic Oomycete

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Phytophthora infestans, one of most famous pathogenic oomycetes, triggered the Great Irish Famine from 1845 to 1852. The target of rapamycin (TOR) is well known as a key gene in eukaryotes that controls cell growth, survival and development.

Biological Control of Oomycete Soilborne Diseases Caused by Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora infestans, and Phytophthora nicotianae in Solanaceous Crops

Mycobiology, 2022
Oomycete pathogens that belong to the genus Phytophthora cause devastating diseases in solanaceous crops such as pepper, potato, and tobacco, resulting in crop production losses worldwide. Although the application of fungicides efficiently controls these

Phytophthora infestans: An Overview of Methods and Attempts to Combat Late Blight

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary is one of the main pathogens in the agricultural sector. The most affected are the Solanaceae species, with the potato (Solanum tuberosum) and the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) being of great agricultural importance.

Inhibitory activity of carbon quantum dots against Phytophthora infestans and fungal plant pathogens and their effect on dsRNA-induced gene silencing

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2022
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have many potential applications due to their cell-penetrating ability, biocompatibility and tunable properties. Among a variety of characteristics, the inhibition of bacteria by CQDs is often reported.

The Differential Growth Inhibition of Phytophthora spp. Caused by the Rare Sugar Tagatose Is Associated With Species-Specific Metabolic and Transcriptional Changes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Tagatose is a rare sugar with no negative impacts on human health and selective inhibitory effects on plant-associated microorganisms. Tagatose inhibited mycelial growth and negatively affected mitochondrial processes in Phytophthora infestans, but not ...

Phytophthora infestans Ago1-associated miRNA promotes potato late blight disease.

New Phytologist, 2021
Phytophthora spp. incite serious plant damages by exploiting a large number of effector proteins and small RNAs (sRNAs). Several reports are describing modulation of host RNA biogenesis and defence gene expression.

A whole genome duplication drives the genome evolution of Phytophthora betacei, a closely related species to Phytophthora infestans

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Pathogens of the genus Phytophthora are the etiological agents of many devastating diseases in several high-value crops and forestry species such as potato, tomato, cocoa, and oak, among many others.

Potato StMPK7 is a downstream component of StMKK1 and promotes resistance to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans

Molecular plant pathology, 2021
A cascade formed by phosphorylation events of mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) takes part in plant stress responses. However, the roles of these MAPKs in resistance of potato (Solanum tuberosum) against Phytophthora pathogens is not well studied.

Pathogen-Mediated Stomatal Opening: A Previously Overlooked Pathogenicity Strategy in the Oomycete Pathogen Phytophthora infestans

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Phytophthora infestans, the most damaging oomycete pathogen of potato, is specialized to grow sporangiophore through opened stomata for secondary inoculum production.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated SlMYBS2 Mutagenesis Reduces Tomato Resistance to Phytophthora infestans

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans) recently caused epidemics of tomato late blight. Our study aimed to identify the function of the SlMYBS2 gene in response to tomato late blight.
