Potato plants (cv. 'Irish Cobbler' with no major resistance genes to Phytophthora infestans), the lower or upper leaves of which were previously treated with hyphal wall components (HWC) of the fungus by rubbing with carborundum, acquired an induced resistance in other untreated leaves against cultivar-pathogenic races of P. infestans when challenged by spraying with a zoospore suspension. Such induced resistance was significantly shown to exist from at least 1 to 20 days after induction-treatment with HWC. Thus, the treated plants were protected from severe late blight disease while non-induced control plants finally died of the disease. The induced resistance was due to a reduction of the number of successfully germinating zoospores and subsequent penetration and then occurrence of hypers0757ensitive-like cell response to the penetrating organisms. These results suggested that local leaf tissues of potato plants reacting to HWC may provide some systemic information that activates or enhances some resistance to P. infes
