The top 10 oomycete pathogens in molecular plant pathology. Molecular Plant Pathology. 16:413:434. Interpretive Summary: Oomycetes are an important group of microorganisms similar, yet distinctly different from fungi. We undertook a survey to query the community of scientists working with Oomycetes for their ranking of oomycetes taht are plant pathogensbased on both their percevied scientific and economic importance. In total, we received 263 votes from 62 scientists in 15 countries for a total of 33 species. The Top 10 list of species consists of (1) Phytophthora infestans; (2) Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis; (3) Phytophthora ramorum; (4) Phytophthora sojae; (5) Phytophthora capsici; (6) Plasmopara viticola; (7) Phytophthora cinnamomi; (8) Phytophthora parasitica; (9) Pythium ultimum; and (10) Albugo candida. The article provides an introduction to these 10 speceis and a snapshot of current research. Technical Abstract: Oomycetes form a deep lineage of eukaryotic organisms that includes a large number of plant pathogens that threaten natural and managed ecosystems. We undertook a survey to query the community for their ranking of plant pathogenic oomycete taxa based on scientific and economic importance. In total, we received 263 votes from 62 scientists in 15 countries for a total of 33 species. The Top 10 list consists of (1) Phytophthora infestans; (2) Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis; (3) Phytophthora ramorum; (4) Phytophthora sojae; (5) Phytophthora capsici; (6) Plasmopara viticola; (7) Phytophthora cinnamomi; (8) Phytophthora parasitica; (9) Pythium ultimum; and (10) Albugo candida. The article provides an introduction to these 10 taxa and a snapshot of current research. We hope that the list will serve as a benchmark for future trends in oomycete research. |
