New Insights in the Genus Phytophthora and Current Diseases These Pathogens Cause in Their Ecosystem

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 65))

Abstract

The genus Phytophthora (Greek “plant destroyer”) includes many soilborne species which cause root and collar rot symptoms of herbaceous and woody plants including different forest trees. This review will focus on Phytophthora diseases of forest trees, as their significance has increased in recent years. Chlorosis, necrosis and wilt symptoms can be seen on leaves in the whole crown before the tree dies. However, death can take several years. All soil-borne Phytophthora species share a common infection cycle which is summarized in Fig. 1.

The infection cycle of soil-borne Phytophthora species
