One oomycete, the mycoparasite Pythium oligandrum, is used for biocontrol, attacking plant pathogenic fungi. [5] ... One flagellum has a "whiplash" morphology, and ...
Lagena radicicola is an oomycete plant pathogen that was described from the roots of wheat, [1] barley, and rye from a field in Saskatchewan in 1930 by Vanterpool and Ledingham. [2] Thalli grow inside the root cells; they are tubular, unbranched, and highly variable in size.
Saprolegnia, like most oomycetes, is both a saprotroph and necrotroph.Typically feeding on waste from fish or other dead cells, they will also take advantage of creatures that have been injured.
Aphanomyces euteiches is a water mould, or oomycete, plant pathogen responsible for the disease Aphanomyces root rot. The species Aphanomyces euteiches can infect a variety of legumes. Symptoms of the disease can differ among hosts but generally include reduced root volume and function, leading to stunting and chlorotic foliage.
Pythium aphanidermatum is a soil borne [1] plant pathogen. Pythium is a genus in the class Oomycetes, which are also known as water molds.Oomycetes are not true fungi, as their cell walls are made of cellulose instead of chitin, they are diploid in their vegetative state, and they form coenocytic hyphae (lacking crosswalls). [2]
Pythium irregulare is a soil borne oomycete plant pathogen. [1] Oomycetes, also known as "water molds", are fungal-like protists.They are fungal-like because of their similar life cycles, but differ in that the resting stage is diploid, they have coenocytic hyphae, a larger genome, cellulose in their cell walls instead of chitin, and contain zoospores (asexual motile spores) and oospores ...
Whiplash flagella are straight, to power the zoospore through its medium. Also, the "default" zoospore only has the propelling, whiplash flagella. Both tinsel and whiplash flagella beat in a sinusoidal wave pattern, but when both are present, the tinsel beats in the opposite direction of the whiplash, to give two axes of control of motility .
Aphanomyces cochlioides is a plant pathogen that can affect commodity crops like spinach, Swiss chard, beets and related species.In spinach the pathogen is responsible for the black root "rot" that can damage plants.
