Phytophthora species cause diseases that threaten agricultural, ornamental, and forest plants worldwide. Explorations of the biology of these pathogens have been aided by the availability of genome sequences, but much work remains to decipher the roles of their proteins. Insight into protein function can be obtained by visualizing them within cells, which has been facilitated by recent improvements in fluorescent protein and microscope technologies. Here, we describe strategies to permit investigators to generate strains of Phytophthora that express fluorescently tagged proteins and study their localization during growth in artificial media and during plant infection.
