The spores of Phytophthora: weapons of the plant destroyer
HS Judelson, FA Blanco - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2005 - nature.com
Members of the genus Phytophthora are among the most serious threats to agriculture and
food production, causing devastating diseases in hundreds of plant hosts. These fungus-like
eukaryotes, which are taxonomically classified as oomycetes, generate asexual and sexual
spores with characteristics that greatly contribute to their pathogenic success. The spores
include survival and dispersal structures, and potent infectious propagules capable of
actively locating hosts. Genetic tools and genomic resources developed over the past …
