Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of sudden oak death, is responsible for widespread oak mortality in California and Oregon, and has the potential to infect 100 or more species. Symptoms ranging from stem girdling and shoot blight to leaf spotting. In this study, we examined the physiological impacts of P. ramorum infection on Rhododendron macrophyllum. We also report the isolation, characterization and biological activity of two P. ramorum elicitins.
