Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Cold-stored strawberry cultivars were more susceptible to pathogenic P. cactorum isolates than plants without cold storage.
- Observation Indigenous nonpathogenic P. cactorum isolates did not cause crown rot in cold-stored strawberries.
- Observation Most isolates causing crown rot symptoms came from infected strawberry crowns.
- Observation Two isolates from gooseberry plants were pathogenic, although their origin was uncertain.
- Association Symptomless infections initiated before cold storage led to a high incidence of death in storage and chronic wilt after planting.
- Association Infection immediately after cold storage led to rapid wilt symptoms of Phytophthora crown rot.
- Observation Infected tissue from plants that died in cold storage produced many sporangia and zoospores after plating in water for 24 h.
- Mechanism The authors infer that importing non-indigenous inoculum with planting material likely causes crown rot outbreaks in previously unaffected areas.
- Mechanism The authors propose that cold-induced susceptibility together with latent infection or debris may trigger sudden large crown rot outbreaks.
