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 ...

Backer, Robert; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022-06-28)The hemibiotrophic plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands is the most devastating pathogen of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) and, as such, causes significant annual losses in the industry. Although the molecular ...

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 ...
