Since LH Leonian's first description of Phytophthora capsici as a pathogen of chile pepper in
1922, we have made many advances in our understanding of this pathogen's biology, host …

A collection of about 200 actinomycete strains was screened for the ability to grow on
fragmented Phytophthora mycelium and to produce metabolites that inhibit Phytophthora …

This paper reviews the processes involved in fungal attachment: initial passive attachment
