Advances in understanding defense mechanisms in Persea americana against Phytophthora cinnamomi

Van den Berg, Noelani; Swart, Velushka; Backer, Robert; Fick, Alicia; Wienk, Raven; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Prabhu, Sreedhara Ashok (MDPI, 2021-03-01)

AfricaAvocado (Persea americana) is an economically important fruit crop world-wide, the production of which is challenged by notable root pathogens such as Phytophthora cinnamomi and Rosellinia necatrix. Arguably the most ...
Expression of defence-related genes against Phytophthora cinnamomi in five avocado rootstocks

Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (AOSIS Open Journals, 2013-11)

Avocado (Persea americana) – a major fruit crop worldwide – is threatened by root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi. This pathogen is known to infect the plant via the feeder roots leading to branch dieback, and ...
Expression of several Phytophthora cinnamomi putative RxLRs provides evidence for virulence roles in avocado

Joubert, Melissa; Backer, Robert; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Public Library of Science, 2021-07)

Phytophthora cinnamomi is a plant pathogenic oomycete that causes Phytophthora root rot of avocado (PRR). Currently, there is a limited understanding of the molecular interactions underlying this disease. Other Phytophthora ...
Generation of composite Persea americana (Mill.) (avocado) plants : a proof-of-concept study

Prabhu, Sreedhara Ashok; Ndlovu, Buyani; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Public Library of Science, 2017-10-20)

Phytophthora Root Rot in areas where the pathogen is prevalent. However, advances in molecular research are hindered by the lack of a high-throughput transient transformation system in this non-model plant. In this study, ...
Genome of the destructive oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi provides insights into its pathogenicity and adaptive potential

Engelbrecht, Juanita; Duong, Tuan A.; Prabhu, Sreedhara Ashok; Seedat, Mohamed; Van den Berg, Noelani (BMC, 2021)

BACKGROUND: Phytophthora cinnamomi is an oomycete pathogen of global relevance. It is considered as one of the most invasive species, which has caused irreversible damage to natural ecosystems and horticultural crops. ...
New microsatellite markers for population studies of Phytophthora cinnamomi, an important global pathogen

Engelbrecht, Juanita; Duong, Tuan A.; Van der Berg, Noelani (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12-15)

Phytophthora cinnamomi is the causal agent of root rot, canker and dieback of thousands of plant species around the globe. This oomycete not only causes severe economic losses but also threatens natural ecosystems. In ...
