How Does Phytophthora Cinnamomi Kill a Susceptible Eucalypt? [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] We have long been puzzled at the death of susceptible species of Eucalyptus associated with infection by Phytophthora cinnamomi. Infection of E. marginata and E. sieberi may cause death even when only part of the root system is infected . Experiments have demonstrated a fa ilure in hydrau lic conductance throughout the whole root system yet plating of the roots has shown the fungus to be present only in one region of that system ranging from 8-15\,% (2). There is no change in conductance with infection of field resistant species such as E. maculata. The failure in conductance precedes changes In xylem and leaf water potentials and precedes all secondary shoot symptoms such as wilt and dieback. No xylem blockage or degradation is visible in sections of Infected plants. [...]
