Field surveys conducted on nine farms over a 2-year period showed the widespread presence of Phytophthora-related diseases globe artichoke plants in main growing area Sardinia (Italy). Characteristic symptoms included wilting and necrosis outermost leaves dark brown discoloration stem tissues, as well root rot. A total 18 Phytophthora colonies belonging to three species were isolated characteri...

Abstract Phytophthora cinnamomi and P. cactorum were detected in soil samples from a Vaccinium corymbosum stand southern Germany. Both species virulent an underbark inoculation assay have not been reported highbush blueberry Germany before. While is widely distributed nurseries (semi)natural habitats like forests, field reports of are rare due to its sensitivity frost. Its occurrence outdoor in...

Specialized metabolites are essential components in plant defence systems, serving as signalling molecules and chemical weapons against pathogens. The manipulation of metabolome or can thus be an important virulence strategy for Because their central role, give valuable insights into plant-pathogen interactions. Here, we have conducted nontargeted metabolite profiling with UPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS to i...
