Creation of species hybrids of Phytophthora with modified host ranges by zoospore fusion

1995-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Species hybrids of the fungal plant pathogens Phytophthora capsici and P. nicotianae were created that exhibited expanded host ranges compared with parent organisms. One hybrid lost its ability to infect host plants specific to either species. The hybrids were created by a novel method of fusing uninucleate zoospores of these pathogens in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and LiCl. Lithium ion inhibited ce...
