Phytopathogenic oomycetes are known to successfully infect their hosts due to their ability to
secrete effector proteins. Of interest to many researchers are effectors with the N-terminal …

This chapter discusses the major potato diseases worldwide: late blight, early blight, wart,
and powdery scab. Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, continues …

Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, the causal agent of potato late blight, was
responsible for the Irish potato famine of the 1840s. Initial disease outbreaks occurred in the …

The population structure of the Phytophthora infestans populations that caused the recent
2013–14 late blight epidemic in eastern India (EI) and northeastern India (NEI) was …

Emerging plant pathogens have largely been a consequence of the movement of pathogens
to new geographic regions. Another documented mechanism for the emergence of plant …

The oomycete pathogens Phytophthora infestans and P. capsici cause significant crop
losses world‐wide, threatening food security. In each case, pathogenicity factors, called …

Temperature plays a multidimensional role in host–pathogen interactions. As an important
element of climate change, elevated world temperature resulting from global warming …

As the oomycete pathogen causing potato late blight disease, Phytophthora infestans
triggered the famous 19th-century Irish potato famine and remains the leading cause of …

Intrinsic disorder is a common structural characteristic of proteins and a central player in the
biochemical processes of species. However, the role of intrinsic disorder in the evolution of …

Temperature is one of the most important environmental parameters with crucial impacts on
nearly all biological processes. Due to anthropogenic activity, average air temperatures are …
