The downy mildews: genetics, molecular biology and control

Knowledge of downy mildew pathogens and diseases has increased significantly in taxonomy, phylogeny, genetics, molecular biology, host-parasite interactions, ecology, epidemiology and control. The opportunity to update comprehensively the major advances in these areas was created by the 2nd International Symposium on Downy Mildews held in July 2007 at Olomouc (Czech Republic). Keynote contributions from this meeting are published here in 14 chapters that provide the most authoritative and recent analysis of these biotrophic plant pathogensand their interactions with plants. It will be an invaluable resource to students and researchers in plant pathology, mycology, taxonomy, plant biology andcrop protection. INDICE: From the contents I: Evolution and taxonomy. 1. Progress and challenge in systematics of downy mildews and white blister rusts: new insights from genes and morphology, H. Voglmayr. II: Genetic variation and molecular biology. 2. Classical and molecular genetics of Bremia lactucae, lettuce downy mildew, R.W. Michelmore, J.W. Wong. 3. Species hybrids in the genus Phytophthora with emphasis on the alder pathogen Phytophthora alni: a review, T. Érsek, Z.A.Nagy. 4. Proteomic analysis of a compatible interaction between Pisum sativum(pea) and the downy mildew pathogen Peronospora viciae, R.C. Amey, T. Schleicher, J. Slinn, M. Lewis, H. Macdonald, S.J. Neil, P.T.N. Spencer-Phillips. III: Host-parasite interactions. 5. Tapping into molecular conversation between oomycete plant pathogens and their hosts, M. Tör. 6. Diversity in defence mechanisms in plant-oomycete interactions: A case study of Lactuca spp.
