   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

   Author : Abu Sayeed Tareq; [2012]
   Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; potato genome; effectors; potato pathosystem; effector vector design;

   Abstract : The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans is the causal agent of the devastating plant disease late blight on potato. Diverse type of transposons and many gene families are present in the genome which encodes the effector proteins involved in causing the pathogenicity. READ MORE

   Abstract : Potato late blight is one of the most important potato diseases worldwide. The disease is caused by an oomycete called Phytophthora infestans. The host range of P. infestans includes potato (Solanum tuberosum) and hairy nightshade (Solanum physalifolium). READ MORE

4. 18. Varying levels of susceptibility to late blight in Ecuador : relation between resistance and the need for fungicide application

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Jenny Knutsson; [2011]
   Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; potato; computer simulation; simulation model;

   Abstract : Potato late blight is a devastating disease in potato production all over the world and constitutes the major biological yield limiting factor in Ecuador. The disease is generally controlled chemically and a large proportion of the total potato production cost in Ecuador is due to fungicides. Potato late blight is also controlled by disease escape.
