Development and Implementation of a New National Warning System for Potato Late Blight in Great Britain
… infestans (Mont) De Bary, the cause of potato late blight, is arguably the most important species of the genus Phytophthora in terms of economic losses and the cost of fungicides used for its control. The Smith Period is a set of temperature and humidity criteria that comprise the …

Exploiting crosstalk between growth and immunity in plants : the role of the <i>Phytophthora infestans</i> effector AVR2 in potato late blight
… infestans; the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. AVR2 interacts with a family of kelch-repeat containing phosphatases in potato, the BSLs, implicated in brassinosteroid pathway signalling – a major hormone signalling pathway in plants associated with growth and development. …

The changing <em>Phytophthora infestans</em> population: implications for late blight epidemics and control
… infestans</em>, the causal agent of potato late blight, causes millions of pounds of losses worldwide each year. Within the UK P. <em>infestans </em>populations there has been a dramatic increase in the proportion of the A2 mating type due to genotype 13_A2 and concerns have been …

Investigation into the function of Pi17316, a novel effector protein from <i>Phytophthora infestans</i> that compromises plant immunity
… are exemplified by pathogen effectors that manipulate processes inside the host cell to benefit colonisation. Knowledge of how these effectors and their targets function is crucial to develop strategies to enhance crop resistance. This project focuses on one such effector, Pi17316, which is …

NOVEL PERSPECTIVES IN THE CONTROL OF PLANT PATHOGENIC OOMYCETES
… for controlling oomycete-borne diseases such as potato late blight, blight and fruit rot of cucurbits, Phytium root rot and grapevine downy mildew. Out of the 77 compounds tested, two promising molecules showed a consistently high efficacy and were characterized for their antimicrobial activity …
