Effects of Rainfall Acidification on Plant Pathogens

摘要: Wind-blown rain, rain splash, and films of free moisture play important roles in the epidemiology many plant diseases. The chemical nature aqueous microenvironment at infection court is a potentially significant factor successful dissemination, establishment, survival pathogenic microorganisms. Acidic rainfall has potential for influencing not only pathogen, but also host organism, host-pathogen complex. Although interactions add degree complexity to study abiotic environmental stress plants, it our hope, through use combination general concepts, theoretical postulations, experimental data, describe role that acidity may often subtle balance between populations plants pathogens.
