However, rapid growth requires a large water consumption, and irrigation water provides a natural means for pathogen spread. That includes members of <i>Phytophthora</i> spp. that have proven to be a global enemy to forests. With the known adaptability to new hosts, it is only a matter of time for more aggressive <i>Phytophthora</i> species to become a threat to poplar forests and plantations. Here, the effects of artificial inoculation with two different representatives of aggressive species (<i>P. cactorum</i> and <i>P. plurivora</i>) were analyzed in the proteome of the <i>Phytophthora</i>-tolerant hybrid poplar clone T-14 [<i>Populus tremula</i> L. 70 × (<i>Populus × canescens</i> (Ait.)
