Abstract
Light and cholesterol appeared to act independently in inducing functional zoosporangia of Phytophthora palmivora and P. capsici. Light also had a morphologocial influence of taxonomic importance. Only light-induced sporangia of P. palmivora fit the sporangial description for this species; dark-produced sporangia resembled those of other species, such as P. parasitica.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
