Genes found in partial sequencing of Phytophthora cinnamomi genome
Santos, Luís; Martins, Ivone M.; Maia, Vera; Dominguez, Ángel; Choupina, AltinoMembers of the oomycete cause extensive losses in agriculture and widespread degradation in natural plant communities, being responsible for the death of thousands of trees every year. Two of the representative species are Phytophthora infestans, which causes late blight of potato, and Phytophthora cinnamomi, which causes chestnut ink disease, responsible for losses on sweet chestnut production in Europe. Genom...
Cloning and expression analysis of an endo‑1,3‑β‑d‑glucosidase from Phytophthor...
Costa, Rodrigo Arthur Fonseca; Choupina, Altino; Dominguez, ÁngelPhytophthora is considered one of the most destructive genus for many agricultural plant species worldwide, with a strong environmental and economic impact. Phytophthora cinnamomi is a highly aggressive Phytophthora species associated with the forest decline and responsible for the ink disease in chestnut trees (Castanea sativa Miller), a culture which is extremely important in Europe. This pathogenicity occurs...

Choupina, Altino; Estevinho, Leticia M.; Costa, Rodrigo Arthur Fonseca; Dominguez, ÁngelOomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. The biggest productivity and yield break occurs due to the ink disease; caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi, which is one of the most widely distributed Phytophthora species, with nearly 1 000 host species. The knowledge about the molecular mechanisms responsible for its pathogenicity is an import...
Isolation and Sequencing of Actin1, Actin2 and Tubulin1 Genes Involved in Cytos...
Martins, Ivone; Lopez, Carmen; Dominguez, Ángel; Choupina, AltinoOomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are fungus-like plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. On the Nordeste Transmontano region (northeast Portugal), the Castanea sativa chestnut culture is extremely important. The biggest productivity and yield break occurs due to the ink disease, caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi which is one of the most widely distributed Phytophthora sp...
Characterization of molecular factors from plants pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi
Choupina, Altino; Martins, Fátima; Vaz, Madalena; Dominguez, Ángel; Martins, I.M.The culture of the chestnut tree is extremely important in the northern region of Portugal, occupying a significant proportion of useful agricultural area. The annual average chestnut production in Portugal can reach 20 000 tons. New plantation areas have increased in the last few decades. However the ink disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi has damage and killed many trees and up to now no con...

Isolation and sequence analysis of alfa-tubulin gene from Phytophora cinnamomi
Dias, Teresa; Andrade, Maria; Jorge, Lurdes; Vaz, Madalena; Martins, Fátima; Dominguez, Ángel; Choupina, AltinoPhytophthora diseases cause widespread economic and environmental losses worldwide. Thousands of plant species are susceptible. In Portugal, Phytophthora cinnamomi is responsible for chestnut ink disease. Despite the differences there are a number of key steps common to most infection strategies, including adhesion to the plant surface, plant penetration through the secretion of a diverse range of cell wall-deg...
Isolation and phylogenetic analysis of two actin genes from Phytophthora cinnamomi
Jorge, Lurdes; Dias, Teresa; Andrade, Maria; Vaz, Madalena; Dominguez, Ángel; Choupina, AltinoActins, as the essential component of cellular microfilament, are ubiquitous and highly conserved proteins that play key roles in several basic functions of organism such as cytoskeleton morphology, cell division, cell motility, cellular signal transduction, cellular interaction and organelle movements, as well as locomotion, phagocytosis, endocytosis and exocytosis . Actins are highly conserved structural prot...
