The oomycete is a destructive pathogen infecting more than 50 plant species and is one of the most serious threats to cucurbit production. Phytophthora blight caused by can affect all plant growth stages, and fungicides and cultural controls are used to limit losses. Dissecting pathogen virulence and fungicide resistance can provide insights into pathogenic mechanisms and inform effective management practices to control .

Article Synopsis
  • A destructive oomycete pathogen first identified in 1922, affecting various crops globally and known for its resilience against disease management strategies.
  • Its high genetic diversity and ability to form oospores enable it to survive in soils, while zoospore differentiation raises its potential for epidemics.
  • Ongoing research over the last century has focused on its biology, resistance to fungicides, and strategies for effective disease management.
