Phytophthora cactorum is a plant pathogen affecting wide range of hosts, causing economically damaging diseases, such as damping off and root rot, in fields nurseries. Current protection strategies are often inadequate to control diseases. Hence, an attempt was made evaluate the potential novel method using lignin nanoparticles loaded with essential oil Thymus serpyllum (EO-LNPs) for controllin...

Phytophthora cactorum has two distinct pathotypes that cause crown rot and leather in strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ). Strains of the pathotype can infect both rhizome (crown) fruit tissues, while strains only fruits strawberry. The genome a highly virulent strain, low three were sequenced using PacBio high fidelity (HiFi) long read sequencing. reads de novo assembled to 66.4–67.6 megabases ...
