First described by L.H. Leonian in 1922 as a pathogen of pepper in New Mexico, USA, P. capsici is now widespread in temperate and tropical countries alike. Phytophthora capsici is notorious for its capability to evade disease management strategies. High genetic diversity allows P. capsici populations to overcome fungicides and host resistance, the formation of oospores results in long-term persistence in soils, zoospore differentiation in the presence of water increases epidemic potential, and a broad host range maximizes economic losses and limits the effectiveness of crop rotation. The severity of disease caused by P. capsici and management challenges have led to numerous research efforts in the past 100 years. Here, we discuss recent findings regarding the biology, genetic diversity, disease management, fungicide resistance, host resistance, genomics, and effector biology of P. capsici. }, journal={ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={Quesada-Ocampo, L.

All plant parts, crown and roots, or only the fruit may be affected depending on the host, and symptoms can range from wilting to rot and plant death. Considered a hemibiotroph, P. capsici can be cultured in artificial media and maintained in long-term storage. In this diagnostic guide, we describe methods to identify P. capsici infection based on disease symptoms and pathogen signs. We also outline methods for molecular identification, pathogen isolation, storage of single-sporangium cultures, and pathogenicity testing. }, number={3}, journal={PLANT HEALTH PROGRESS}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={Parada-Rojas, Camilo H. and Granke, Leah L. and Naegele, Rachel P. and Hansen, Zachariah and Hausbeck, Mary K. and Kousik, Chandrasekar S. and McGrath, Margaret T. and Smart, Christine D. and Quesada-Ocampo, Lina M.}, year={2021}, pages={404–414} }

This study assessed disease susceptibility of the storage root surface, storage root cambium, and slips (vine cuttings) of 48 sweetpotato cultivars, advanced breeding lines, and wild relative accessions. We also characterized the effect of storage root development on susceptibility to C. fimbriata. None of the cultivars examined at the storage root level were resistant, with most cultivars exhibiting similar levels of susceptibility. In storage roots, Jewel and Covington were the least susceptible and significantly different from White Bonita, the most susceptible cultivar. In the slip, significant differences in disease incidence were observed for above- and below-ground plant structures among cultivars, advanced breeding lines, and wild relative accessions. Burgundy and Ipomoea littoralis displayed less below-ground disease incidence compared with NASPOT 8, Sunnyside, and LSU-417, the most susceptible cultivars. Correlation of black rot susceptibility between storage roots and slips was not significant, suggesting that slip assays are not useful to predict resistance in storage roots. Immature, early-developing storage roots were comparatively more susceptible than older, fully developed storage roots. The high significant correlation between the storage root cross-section area and the cross-sectional lesion ratio suggests the presence of an unfavorable environment for C. fimbriata as the storage root develops. Incorporating applications of effective fungicides at transplanting and during early-storage root development when sweetpotato tissues are most susceptible to black rot infection may improve disease management efforts. }, number={9}, journal={Phytopathology®}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={Parada-Rojas, C.

P. capsici causes crown, root, and fruit rot as well as foliar lesions in peppers. Field trials were conducted in 2015 and 2016 to evaluate 32 commercial and experimental pepper cultivars against a mixed-isolate inoculum in North Carolina. Cultivars Martha-R and Meeting were classified as highly resistant to P. capsici, and Paladin was classified as resistant. Intermediate resistance to P. capsici in the field was observed with Fabuloso, Revolution, Vanguard, Archimedes, Aristotle, Ebano-R, and Declaration. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the response of 48 pepper cultivars when inoculated individually with two isolates from North Carolina and an isolate from Michigan. Isolates exhibited different levels of virulence in pepper cultivars screened for resistance. Landraces CM334 and Fidel as well as the cultivars Martha-R, Meeting, and Intruder were categorized as highly resistant or resistant to the three isolates tested. Overall, highly resistant cultivars tended to respond similarly to field mix inoculations and greenhouse single isolate inoculations. }, number={2}, journal={PLANT HEALTH PROGRESS}, author={Parada-Rojas, Camilo H. and Quesada-Ocampo, Lina M.}, year={2019}, pages={112–119} }
