Characterisation of the water expulsion vacuole in Phytophthora nicotianae zoospores

Mitchell, H J; Hardham, Adrienne R

Description

The water expulsion vacuole (WEV) in zoospores of Phytophthora nicotianae and other members of the Oomycetes is believed to function in cell osmoregulation. We have used videomicroscopy to analyse the behaviour of the WEV during zoospore development, motility and encystment in P. nicotianae. After cleavage of multinucleate sporangia, the WEV begins to pulse slowly but soon attains a rate similar to that seen in motile zoospores. In zoospores, the WEV has a mean cycle time of 5.7 ±...[Show more]
