WASHINGTON - An international team of scientists has decoded the full genetic sequence, or genome, of Phytophthora infestans, which is a water mold that causes the serious potato disease known as late blight or potato blight. ❋ Ani (2010)
Well, it turns out that the Irish potato famine was caused by a fungus (properly known as Phytophthora infestans) that originated in Mexico and which is capable of reproducing not only sexually but also asexually. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In May, the office of Jon Traunfeld, director of the HGIC, issued an alert about the early onset of late blight (Phytopthera infestans). ❋ Unknown (2010)
The proximate cause of the Great Irish Famine (1846-52) was the fungus phythophtera infestans (or potato blight), which reached Ireland in the fall of 1845. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Finally, though the introduction of new potato varieties offered some respite against phythophtera infestans thereafter, no reliable defense would be found against it until the 1890s. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Their friends, the petunia borer (infestans septic pestans) and the potato cockroach (Fenianianii cthulumite) would die, too. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Then in 1845, a fungus, Phytophothora infestans, arrived from America, and wiped out the entire potato crop. ❋ Everett M. Rogers (1995)
They had also looked into infecting potatoes with phytophthora infestans, or potato blight—the disease that brought on famine in Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century. ❋ Nicholson Baker (2008)
Phytophthera infestans is a water mold which causes Late Blight of Potato. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Then in 1845, a fungus, Phytophthora infestans, arrived from America and wiped out the entire potato crop. ❋ Everett M. Rogers (2003)
The disease is caused by a parasite (Trypanosoma cruzi), which is transmitted by the blood-sucking insect Triatoma infestans. ❋ Unknown (1992)
Diseases - Late blight caused by the fungus Phytophthora infestans is one of the most widespread and serious of all potato diseases and was responsible for the great potato famine in Ireland during the 1840s. ❋ Unknown (1987)
When grown under humid conditions, control of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) is often difficult and this is particularly serious in many tropical areas. ❋ Unknown (1987)
The yellow mite (probably _Lyroglyphus infestans_) is extremely common in strawy litter on the surface of hotbeds, and I have no doubt finds its way into the mushroom house as manure vermin rather than a mushroom parasite. ❋ William Falconer (N/A)
Among them are the vine mildew (_Peronospora viticola_) (Fig. 35), the potato fungus (_Phytophthora infestans_), and many others. ❋ Douglas Houghton Campbell (N/A)
_Peronospora infestans_, which grows at the expense of the leaves, stems, and tubers of the plant until it destroys their vitality. ❋ Various (N/A)
Just as plants of higher organization choose their soils, some growing in the water and some on land, so the _Peronospora infestans_ chooses its host plant; and its soil is this species, the _Solatium tuberosum_. ❋ Various (N/A)
This plant, the _Peronospora infestans_, will only grow on the _Solanum tuberosum_, that is, the cultivated potato .... ❋ Various (N/A)
