Diversity of defence mechanisms in plant-oomycete interactions: a case study of Lactuca spp. and Bremia lactucae

2008-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Plant pathogenic oomycetes, including biotrophic downy mildews and hemibiotrophs/necrotrophs such as Phytophthora and Pythium, cause enormous economic losses on cultivated crops. Lettuce breeders and growers face the threat of Bremia lactucae, the causal agent of lettuce downy mildew. This pathogen damages leaf tissues and lettuce heads and is also frequent on wild Asteraceae plants. The interactions of Lactuca sp...
