Clubroot Disease Life Cycle

This template shows the six-step clubroot disease cycle, starting with resting spores overwintering in soil, then zoospores penetrating root hairs in a primary infection, infecting the main root in a secondary infection, triggering pathogenic cell division that forms clubbed root galls, restricting nutrient and water uptake, and ending with infected plants wilting and dying as galls release new resting spores. Each step is illustrated with a root cross-section or whole plant image paired with a numbered description.
