Chemoattraction of zoospores of the soybean pathogen, Phytophthora sojae, by isoflavones

1992-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The main infective agents in plant diseases caused by species of the fungal genera Phytophthora and Pythium are zoospores that are attracted chemotactically to plant surfaces. Here we demonstrate that the simple isoflavones daidzein and genistein, which occur in soybean root exudates, are highly effective chemoattractants for zoospores of Phytophthora sojae, an economically important pathogen of soybeans. When add...
