Abstract
The pathogenicity, physiology and biochemical features of three isolat es of Phytophthora nicotianae var. nicotianae from Eucalyptus delegate nsis and E. globulus seedlings were investigated. The acid phosphatase zymograms and total protein profiles confirmed the specific identity of the 3 isolates. Despite significant differences in mycelial growth and zoosporangium production, no differences were noted in pathogenici ty. Artificial inoculations revealed a variability in resistance to P. nicotianae within Eucalyptus species.
