Plasmodiophora brassicae is a soilborne organism that is best known for its high economic impact on Brassica oil and vegetable crops.[1] It infects 30 different cruciferous plants, which consists of up to 16 crop species, 9 ornamentals, and 5 weeds.[2] The fungus on those plants causes a disease referred to as clubroot.
