alstonia
The Alstonia (Alstonia boonei) is a species in the genus Alstonia. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeo. Distributed across Cameroon and Guinea.
Pseudoperonospora urticae is an obligate biotrophic oomycete downy mildew pathogen in the family Peronosporaceae, infecting stinging nettle (Urtica) species. It causes yellowing and chlorosis of leaves with characteristic grayish sporulation on the undersurface during moist conditions. Its host specificity to nettles makes it an interesting model for studying coevolution between oomycete pathogens and their wild hosts.
