Phytophthora
Phytophthora (asalipun sakingbasa Yunani φυτόν (phytón), “tuwuhan” lan φθορά (phthorá), “karemukan”; “pangremuk tuwuhan”) inggih punika salah satunggaling génus saking Oomycota ingkang anggota-anggotanipun kathah ingkang njalari penyakit ing tetuwuhan, saéngga nuwuhaken tuna ing ékonomi, ékologi, lan ugi demografi ingkang ageng. Genus punika dipunlapuraken sepisanan déning Heinrich Anton de Bary taun 1875. Dipunprakirakaken wonten watawis 100 anggotanipun ingkang sampun pinanggih, sanadyan sejatosipun gunggungipun anggota langkung saking 100..

Biologi

Phytophthora saged nindakaken réprodhuksi mawi cara seksual lan ugi aseksual. Struktur réprodhuksi seksual jarang pinanggih ing alam, anananging saged dipunrangsang wonten pembiakan ing laboratorium. Ing jinis-jinis ingkang homotalus, struktur seksual tuwuh ing satunggal kultur tunggal. Jinis-jinis ingkang heterotalus gadhah kalih jinis kelamin.

Spora aseksual ingkang kawwangun saking mitosis dipuntenpang minangka klamidospora lan zoospora. Jinis spora ingkang pungkasan dipunkasilaken ing sporangium punika kathah (jamak).

Patogenisitas
Kathtah Phytophthora sp. ingkang dados patogen ing tetuwuhan ingkang nuwuhaken tuna ingkang ageng ing babagan ékonomi. Phytophthora infestans inggih punika agen infektif ingkang njalari penyakit ing tuwuhan kenthang. Phytophthora ugi njalari penyakit ing tuwuhan tomat lan kacang kedhele.  Padatanipun, penyakit tuwuhan ingkang dipunjalari génus punika awrat sanget dipunkontrol, saéngga mbetahaken strategi ingkang langkung saé lan langkung utama.
