TLDR
Information on the ecology and biological control of plant pathogenic Pythium species is reviewed with the premise that a clear understanding of the ecology of the pathogen will assist in the development of efficacious biocontrol agents.Abstract:
Soilborne root diseases caused by plant pathogenic Pythium species cause serious losses in a number of agricultural production systems, which has led to a considerable effort devoted to the development of biological agents for disease control. In this article we review information on the ecology and biological control of these pathogens with the premise that a clear understanding of the ecology of the pathogen will assist in the development of efficacious biocontrol agents. The lifecycles of the pathogens and etiology of host infection also are reviewed, as are epidemiological concepts of inoculum-disease relationships and the influence of environmental factors on pathogen aggressiveness and host susceptibility. A number of fungal and bacterial biocontrol agents are discussed and parallels between their ecology and that of the target pathogens highlighted. The mechanisms by which these microbial agents suppress diseases caused by Pythium spp., such as interference with pathogen survival, disruption of the...read more

TL;DR: Access to the P. ultimum genome has revealed not only core pathogenic mechanisms within the oomycetes but also lineage-specific genes associated with the alternative virulence and lifestyles found within the pythiaceous lineages compared to the Peronosporaceae.

Molecular genetics of pathogenic oomycetes.
TL;DR: Several parasitic eukaryotes represent deep phylogenetic lineages, suggesting that they feature unique molecular processes for infecting their hosts and one such group is formed by the oomycetes.

Free-living bacterial inocula for enhancing crop productivity
TL;DR: Free-living bacteria may also influence the symbiosis between microorganisms and plants and thereby stimulate plant growth indirectly, which represents another potential commercial application for bacterial inocula within the next decade.
