TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.

TL;DR: The results described in this paper indicate that COI sequencing and the dataset generated are a valuable addition to the currently available oomycete taxonomy resources, and that both COI, the default DNA barcode supported by GenBank, and ITS, the de facto barcode accepted by the oomyCete and mycology community, are acceptable and complementary DNA barcodes to be used for identification of oomy cetes.

TL;DR: Whereas most individuals of US-8 and US-20 were resistant to mefenoxam, US-21 appeared to be intermediately sensitive, and isolates ofUS-22, US,23, andUS-24 were largely sensitive to me Fenoxam; these latter three genotypes appear to have been derived from a common ancestor.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships of Phytophthora infestans sensu lato in the Andean highlands of South America were examined and sequences of the cytochrome oxidase I (cox I) gene and intron 1 of ras gene suggested that P. andina might have arisen via hybridization between P.infestans and P. mirabilis.
