DNA fingerprinting uncovers a new sexully reproducing population of Phytophthora infestans in the Netherlands.
1994-06-01
Abstract excerpt
The oomycetous fungusPhytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, which causes late blight disease in potatoes, is heterothallic with two known mating types, A1 and A2. From 1845 until 1980 only A1 mating type isolates were found in Europe. In 1980, the A2 mating type appeared permitting sexual reproduction. Here we show that virulence properties and DNA fingerprint patterns of isolates collected in the Netherlands bef...
