Article Abstract
ABSTRACT A worldwide collection of P. parasitica isolates was investigated for the ability to infect tobacco and tomato, as related to elicitin production. Elicitin was produced by all nontobacco isolates, and nonproducing strains all were isolated from tobacco. In addition, producing strains were isolated from tobacco and coexisted with nonproducing (TE ) strains. Elicitin production generally was associated with low virulence on tobacco and frequent pathogenicity on tomato, whereas TE isolates generally were highly virulent and specialized to tobacco. Analysis of both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms indicated, for the first time, that black shank isolates can be distinguished from other P. parasitica isolates on the basis of genetic criteria. Our results suggest that severe black shank is caused by a limited number of TE strains that have been disseminated by clonal evolution. Mutations in the TE phenotype seem to have arisen independently in several genetic backgrounds and distinct geographic areas. The fortuitous absence of elicitin production has precluded population replacements in areas of intensive tobacco cultivation. Thus, monitoring the loss of elicitin production in developing tobacco areas should be considered in disease management.

Article Synopsis
- Phytophthora capsici is a dangerous oomycete that threatens vegetable production worldwide, and this study investigates how protein arginine methylation impacts its development and pathogenicity.
- The researchers identified five protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) in P. capsici, focusing on PcPRMT3, which is crucial for mycelial growth, spore development, and stress responses.
- Deleting PcPRMT3 negatively affected P. capsici's ability to cope with stress and altered key biological pathways, demonstrating its role in modulating the plant's defense mechanisms against this pathogen.

Plants have developed intricate immune mechanisms to impede Phytophthora colonization. In response, Phytophthora secretes RxLR effector proteins that disrupt plant defense and promote infection. The specific molecular interactions through which Phytophthora RxLR effectors undermine plant immunity, however, remain inadequately defined.

Elicitins are microbe-associated molecular patterns produced by oomycetes to elicit plant defense. It is still unclear whether elicitins derived from non-pathogenic oomycetes can be used as bioactive molecules for disease control. Here, for the first time we identify and characterize an elicitin named PpEli2 from the soil-borne oomycete , which is a non-pathogenic mycoparasite colonizing the root ecosystem of diverse plant species.

is an important oomycetous plant pathogen with numerous host plant species, including garden strawberry ( × ) and silver birch (). also hosts mycoviruses, but their phenotypic effects on the host oomycete have not been studied earlier. In the present study, we tested polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced water stress for virus curing and created an isogenic virus-free isolate for testing viral effects in pair with the original isolate.

Phytopathogenic oomycetes pose a significant threat to global biodiversity and food security. The proteomes of these oomycetes likely contain important factors that contribute to their pathogenic success, making their discovery crucial for elucidating pathogenicity. Phytophthora cinnamomi is a root pathogen that causes dieback in a wide variety of crops and native vegetation world-wide.
