abstract
Oomycetes 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 important tool in order to fight diseases associated with this pathogen.
