Identification of an elicitin gene cluster in Phytophthora cinnamomi and analysis of the necrotic activity of a purified recombinant beta-cinnamomin

The oomycetous fungus Phytophthora cinnamoni plays and important role in the necrotic activity observed on feeder root of cork oaks (Quercus suber L.) and eucalyptus (eucalyptus marginata Donn. Ex. Sm.)trees reducing the capacity of these hosts to absorb water and nutrients.
