In eukaryotes the bimetallic Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes play important roles in biology of reactive oxygen species by disproportionating anion. Recently, we reported that fungal pathogen Candida albicans expresses a novel copper-only SOD, known as SOD5, lacks zinc cofactor and electrostatic loop (ESL) domain Cu/Zn-SODs for substrate guidance. Despite these abnormalities, C. SOD5 c...

Abstract Soil-borne Oomycetes are important pathogens of nursery plants, agricultural and horticultural crops, woody plants in natural ecosystems. They most damaging when overwatered or growing poorly drained sites. Poor growth could result from root infection, damage resulting the anoxic conditions which develop saturated soil, both. This is essential information for devising appropriate manag...
