The matric component of soil water potential (ψ m ) was adjusted to 0, -2.5, -5.0, or -10.0 J/kg (1 J/kg=10 millibars). Plants grown in soil at ψ m values less than 0 J/kg were either not saturated or exposed to a single 2- or 24-h saturation period after 10 days. Plants were not infected without a period of soil saturation, but 33-83% of the plants grown at ψ m values of-2.5, -5.0, or -10.0 J/kg before saturation showed symptoms of disease (...)}, number={7}, journal={PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={HORD, MJ and RISTAINO, JB}, year={1992}, month={Jul}, pages={792–798} } @article{hord_ristaino_1991, title={EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL FACTORS ON THE GERMINATION OF OOSPORES OF PHYTOPHTHORA-CAPSICI INVITRO}, volume={81}, ISSN={["0031-949X"]}, DOI={10.1094/Phyto-81-1541}, abstractNote={Oospores were produced by crossing two isolates of opposite mating type of Phytophthora capsici obtained from pepper on clarified V8 agar. Cultures were incubated in the dark at 24 C for 2 mo. Germination of oospores produced in the dark at 24 C was reduced by 78 or 90% when cultures were exposed to light (cool-white fluorescent, 40 μmol m -2 s -1 ) or incubated at 30 C for 1 wk before oospore collection and germination. Exposure of oospores to light during germination did not significantly affect the percentage of oospores that germinated, regardless of pregermination conditions (...)}, number={12}, journal={PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={HORD, MJ and RISTAINO, JB}, year={1991}, month={Dec}, pages={1541–1546} }
