Talk:Pythium

June 2008

Significant editing done to this page made it look a bit messy... tried to clean it up, injected some more authoritative references... Bagnall's MSc looks interesting, since it seems to have covered much of the same territory my own MSc did. It'd be interesting to read, as I'm curious what "chemical treatment" means - anionic surfactants? Pesticides? Minor note here... Bagnall wasn't the first to describe Pythium wilt in adult plants in hydroponics, nor was he the first to describe increased root exposure to zoospores in hydroponics. I'm pretty certain that distinction belongs to Jarvis (1992) for Pythium spp. and Holderness & Pegg (1986) for Phytophthora spp.

Additionally, I hope someone can expand on the section on Pythium spp. used for biological control (look at Timothy Paulitz's work) since this isn't my specific speciality. I'll see what I can provide in the meantime.

This could defintitely be disputed, but I feel that all of the information that I originally contributed to the conception of this article was valid. I see the need for generic contributions, but perhaps it might have rendered the article less authoritative in this instance?

Nonsense

"The zoosprorangia of Pythium release via a vesicle. There have two types of hyphae, known as nematosporangia, and sphaerosporangia"

Two types of hypahe with names that sound like sporangia? A google and pubmed search of nematosporangia and sphaerosporangia yields no results. What was Wiki wiki1 on about? I think this page needs a good overhaul!Molymicro 16:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
