Phytophthora infestans during infection

Ricker, K.E. R.M. Bostock. 1992. Evidence for release of the elicitor arachidonic acid and its metabolites from sporangia of Phytophthora infestans during infection of potato. Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. 41 61-72. 

We observed the activation of chitin-specific PO during infection with the causative agents of a number of diseases in wheat under the influence of Btpolaris soroktntana and the elicitors (Fig. 4), Septoria nodorum (Yusupova et al, 2006) and Tilletia caries (Khairullin et al., 2000) in potato infected by Phytophthora infestans (Maksimov et al., 2011), and in Aegilops umbellulata infected by Septoria nodorum (Maksimov et al, 2006). 

The Involvement of Membrane-Degrading Enzymes During Infection of Potato Leaves by Phytophthora infestans... 

During the infection of potato leaves by Phytophthora infestans there is a rapid degradation of membrane components (chlorophyll, galactolipids, and phospholipids). We have identified an inducible phospholipase B activity which is secreted by the fungus in culture and also occurs during the infection of potato leaves.
