Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Top 10 oomycete pathogens in molecular plant pathology

TL;DR: A survey to query the community for their ranking of plant-pathogenic oomycete species based on scientific and economic importance received 263 votes from 62 scientists in 15 countries for a total of 33 species and the Top 10 species are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Panglobal distribution of a single clonal lineage of the Irish potato famine fungus.

TL;DR: The genetic data are consistent with the hypothesis that the initial migration of P. infestans in the 1840s was from Mexico to the United States and that only a single genetic individual was transported to Europe and subsequently to the rest of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Historical and recent migrations of Phytophthora infestans: chronology, pathways and implications.

TL;DR: The 1984 report of A2 mating types of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary in western Europe was the first indication of new and dramatic developments in populations of that Fungus, indicating changes were not restricted to western Europe but, rather, were worldwide.
