Pathogenic oomycetes infect a wide variety of organisms, including plants, animals, and humans, and cause massive economic losses in global agriculture, aquaculture, and human health. Salicylic acid (SA), an endogenous phytohormone, is regarded as an inducer of plant immunity. Here, the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans was used as a model system to uncover the inhibitory mechanisms of SA on pathogenic oomycetes. In this research, SA significantly inhibited the mycelial growth, sporulation, sporangium germination, and virulence of P...
