Golovinomyces orontii es un hongo de oídio de la familia Erysiphaceae, un patógeno biotrófico obligado que causa recubrimientos blancos polvosos en una amplia gama de plantas hospedadoras, incluida Arabidopsis thaliana. Se ha convertido en un importante patógeno modelo para el estudio de las interacciones planta-hongo y las respuestas inmunes debido al uso extendido de Arabidopsis como organismo modelo. Las esporas se dispersan por el viento y el hongo completa su ciclo de vida completamente sobre la superficie del tejido foliar vivo.
