This book presents morphological (chapter 1) and DNA fingerprint (chapter 2) keys to
various Phytophthora species, as well as a section that combines morphological details and …

Aims: To establish a reliable and rapid protocol to simultaneously obtain high quality DNA
from an infected host plant and the infecting pathogen. To develop an accurate and sensitive …

The genus Phytophthora consists of many species that cause important diseases in
ornamental, agronomic, and forest ecosystems worldwide. Molecular methods have been …

The internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2) of the ribosomal RNA gene repeat
from Phytophthora species were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and …

Abstract Isolates of P. infestans (79) from Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Israel and the
United States, were screened for the incidence of double-stranded (ds) RNA. The dsRNA …

In Antarctic coastal waters where nutrient limitations are low, viruses are expected to play a
major role in the regulation of bloom events. Despite this, research in viral identification and …

We report the first complete genome sequence of the marine diatom-infecting, positive-
sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus, Rhizosolenia setigera RNA virus (RsRNAV). The …

We investigated virus infection in the oomycete Pythium polare from the Arctic. From 39
isolates investigated, 14 contained virus-like double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Next …

Five thousand and eight hundred publicly available expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of
Phytophthora sojae were electronically searched and 415 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) …

Phytophthora hibernalis, P. syringae and P. cambivora are devastating quarantine
pathogens to many economically important plants worldwide. They often co-infect the same …
