Abstract excerpt
Downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Bremia lactucae, is a devastating disease of lettuce, which is controlled by applying fungicides and/or planting resistant lettuce cultivars. As resistance of lettuce cultivars is based on gene-for-gene interaction and offers mostly short-term protection, a lot of effort is put in breeding new resistant lettuce cultivars. For efficient breeding, it is important to know the viru...
