Ca2+ signaling regulates physiological processes including chemotaxis in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Its inhibition has formed the basis for control of human disease but remains largely unexplored for plant disease. This study investigated the role of Ca2+ signaling on motility and chemotaxis of Spongospora subterranea zoospores, responsible for root infections leading to potato root and tuber disease. Cytosolic Ca2+ flux inhibition with Ca2+ antagonists were found to alter zoospore swimming patterns and constrain zoospore
