The #fungus #Clitocybe #nebularis (#Basidiomycota), also known as #cloudedagaric, is a #holarctic and often common #soildwelling #species, mostly found in open, nutrient-rich #forest #soils. It is occasionally #parasitized by the fungus #Volvariella #surrecta (Basidiomycota). C. Hears et al. (2013) point to its #antagonistic effect against phytopathogenic #oomycetes (Stramenopiles) species of the genus #Phytophthora.

Im Freiland kann bei feuchter Witterung die Kraut- und Braunfäule (#Phytophthora, übersetzt: „Pflanzentöter“) den Pflanzen ganz schön zusetzen! Erste Anzeichen sind braune Flecken an Blättern. Oft zerstört er die gesamten #Pflanzen in nur zwei Wochen.
Schützt eure #Tomaten:
• unter Dach oder im Gewächshaus anbauen
• großzügig mulchen
• nur von unten gießen
• genügend Abstand zwischen den Pflanzen lassen
• bodennahes Laub entfernen
Jeder #Garten ist anders – was hilft bei euch gegen Krautfäule?

#Phytophthora infestans secretes numerous effectors to suppress #plant immunity. But how?
In a new #JIPB study, Liu et al. report that this devastating #pathogen targets host Rab-G3 GTPases with an atypical GTPase-activating protein.

Portable tests deliver plant disease results in under 30 minutes

North Carolina State University researchers continue to push the field of plant disease diagnosis forward, developing simple-to-run tests capable of delivering results in minutes, sometimes before plants show visible signs of disease.

Took a while, but my largest ever upload of data to the #ENA / #SRA is live, nearly 4000 #metabarcoding amplicon sequencing runs using a #Phytophthora ITS1 marker: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB76241

Mould shuts popular Glass House Mountains National Park to climbing

"The mould spreads by any activity that moved soil, water, or plant material...These include bushwalking, mountain biking, four-wheel-driving, road construction, timber harvesting, mining, and feral pig incursions...To be honest, people are going to the toilet up on top of the mountains."

Phytophthora microscopic mould shuts popular Glass House Mountains trail as a national biosecurity risk

Invasive species experts have labelled the water mould Phytophthora the worst plant disease in Australia and it has now forced the closure of a popular mountain trail in the south-east Queensland hinterland.
