Establishment of a simple and efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for Phytophthora palmivora [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: As an agriculturally important oomycete genus, Phytophthora contains a large number of destructive plant pathogens that severely threaten agricultural production and natural ecosystems. Among them is the broad host range pathogen P. palmivora,

Phycological Research, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 107-115, April 2026.SUMMARY Kelp forests are threatened by rising ocean temperatures. However, the effects of warming on early life stage interactions among co‐occurring kelp species, particularly competitive dynamics and reproductive timing, remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of temperature on embryonic sporophyte competitive interactions and ...

New Phytophthora populations: A shift from indirect to direct sporangial germination? [PDF]
, 2009 Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato- and tomato late blight, remains a serious threat for (commercial) potato and tomato production. In North Western Europe, frequent fungicide applications, mostly aimed to prevent infection, form the back

Overexpression of Nictaba-like lectin genes from glycine max confers tolerance towards Pseudomonas syringae infection, aphid infestation and salt stress in transgenic Arabidopsis plants [PDF]
, 2016 Plants have evolved a sophisticated immune system that allows them to recognize invading pathogens by specialized receptors. Carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins are part of this immune system and especially the lectins that reside in the ...

Oomycete Plant Pathogens Use Electric Fields to Target Roots
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002 Plant roots generate electrical currents and associated electrical fields as a consequence of electrogenic ion transport at the root surface. Here we demonstrate that the attraction of swimming zoospores of oomycete plant pathogens to plant roots is ...
