Abstract
The Phytophthora pathogens are among the most important pests in the modern agriculture and forestry. This makes them a subject of intensive studies, including laboratory experiments with in vitro culture on various plant-derived media. Here we show that leaf extracts from the resurrection endemic plant Haberlea rhodopensis stimulates significantly the in vitro growth of various isolates from several Phytophthora species. The extracts stimulate the formation of oospores in some heterothallic species. In this respect, the idea to propose Haberlea extracts as a potential ingredient of culture media for Phytophthora spp. maintenance under controlled conditions or as a component of detection systems for Phytophthora presence in nature seems quite attractive and promising.
