Many agriculturally important crops and Australian native plants are susceptible to diseases caused by species of Phytophthora, a fungus-like organism that lives in the soil. Economic losses due to Phytophthora diseases are estimated to exceed $200 million per annum and the scale of environmental damage in natural ecosystems is huge. Currently, control of Phytophthora diseases largely depends on a very small number of effective chemicals and there is an imminent risk of the development of pathogen resistance. This research will increase our understanding of how Phytophthora spores infect host plants and will identify suitable targets for the development of novel, environmentally safe chemicals that inhibit disease development.

许多重要的农业作物和澳大利亚本土植物容易受到疫霉（一种生活在土壤中的真菌样生物）引起的疾病的影响。疫霉病造成的经济损失估计每年超过2亿美元，对自然生态系统造成的环境破坏规模巨大。目前，对疫霉菌疾病的控制主要依赖于极少数有效的化学制剂，并且存在病原体耐药性发展的迫在眉睫的风险。这项研究将增加我们对疫霉菌孢子如何感染寄主植物的理解，并将为开发新的、环境安全的、抑制疾病发展的化学物质确定合适的靶点。
