Oomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are fungus-like plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. They are able to secrete a glucanase inhibitor protein (GIP) that inhibits the activity of endoglucanases (EGases) involved in defense responses against infection. One of the most widely distributed and aggressive Phytophthora species, with more than 1,000 host plants is P. cinnamom...
PTDC/AGR-AAM/67628/2006 - dentification, characterization and role of molecular factors associated with the mechanisms of infection of Fagaceae species by Phytophthora cinnamomi
PTDC/AGR-AAM/67628/2006 - Identification, characterization and role of molecular factors associated with the mechanisms of infection of Fagaceae species by Phytophthora cinnamomi ; Trichodorma spp. covers a group of fungi extremely common in soils of all climatic areas. These fungi arc efficient enzyme producers, with industrial applications, or in nature, involved in the degradation of the coli wall of the ph...
Oomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are fungus-like plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. Due to their particular physiological characteristics, no efficient treatments against diseases caused by these microorganisms are presently available. To develop such treatments, it appears essential to dissect the molecular mechanisms that determine the interaction between Phytoph...

Species of the genus Phytophthora secrete glucanase inhibitor proteins (GIPs ) to inhibit the activity of enzymes involved in plant defense responses, including during plant infection process of Castanea sativa by Phytophthora cinnamomi. GIPs show structural homology to the chymotrypsin class of serine proteases (SP) but lack proteolytic activity due to the absence of an intact catalytic triad and, thus, belong...

The oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that includes some of the most notorious pathogens of plants. Among these, members of the genus Phytophthora cause enormous economic losses on crop species as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystems. Phytophthora cinnamomi is the most widely distributed Phytophthora species, with nearly 1000 host species.
