Profiling of secondary metabolites in blue lupin inoculated with Phytophthora cinnamomi following phosphite treatment
Tiffany K. Gunning et al.
Functional Plant Biology, vol. 40, no. 11, 2013
Native flora in Australia can be devastated by the soil borne pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi. The infected plants can be chemically treated to inhibit the pathogens; however, we have little understanding of the underlying mechanism involved in this process. This paper shows that the chemical phosphite acts directly on the pathogen rather than indirectly through a secondary process.
