Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic and synthetic fertility amendments influence soil microbial, physical and chemical properties on organic and conventional farms

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of organic and synthetic soil fertility amendments on soil microbial communities and soil physical and chemical properties at three organic and three conventional vegetable farms in Virginia and Maryland in 1996 and 1997.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Top 10 oomycete pathogens in molecular plant pathology

TL;DR: A survey to query the community for their ranking of plant-pathogenic oomycete species based on scientific and economic importance received 263 votes from 62 scientists in 15 countries for a total of 33 species and the Top 10 species are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA barcoding of oomycetes with cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and internal transcribed spacer.

TL;DR: The results described in this paper indicate that COI sequencing and the dataset generated are a valuable addition to the currently available oomycete taxonomy resources, and that both COI, the default DNA barcode supported by GenBank, and ITS, the de facto barcode accepted by the oomyCete and mycology community, are acceptable and complementary DNA barcodes to be used for identification of oomy cetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil microbial biomass and activity in organic tomato farming systems: Effects of organic inputs and straw mulching.

TL;DR: In this article, a long-term field experiment to examine microbial biomass and activity, and nutrient availability under four management regimes with different organic inputs was conducted in a coastal sandy soil in Clinton, NC, USA.
