Differences in tuber rot development for North American clones ofPhytophthora infestans
1997
Lambert, D. H. | Currier, A. I.
The relative aggressiveness ofPhytophthora infestons clones in potato tubers was compared in three trials using 7 to 24 isolates of 2 to 4 clones. Visible rot developed slowly at 13C with isolates of the US-1 genotype, the only significant clone found in North America prior to 1979, but substantially faster with most isolates of the newer clonal genotypes US-6, US-7 and US-8. Certain US-7 isolates were similar to US-1, and US-6 isolates also had a broad range of aggressiveness. Secondary infection byFusarium sp. increased rot development in many instances, but this effect was not clone-related. Differences in rot development may affect potato storage or late blight disease transmission.
