Belowground and Aboveground Strategies of Plant Resistance Against Phytophthora Species

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Belowground Defence Strategies in Plants

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM))

Abstract

The oomycete genus Phytophthora includes some of the most destructive plant pathogens in the world. Plant diseases caused by Phytophthora species have an extremely significant impact on a wide range of agriculturally important crops and plants in natural ecosystems such as trees and shrubs in forests. In this chapter, we will describe the infection processes and strategies of Phytophthora pathogens and the counter defence mechanisms of belowground and aboveground tissues of host plants.
