Abstract
An enhanced infection potential of Phytophthora infestans can be observed world wide in recent years, due to the genetic changes of the pathogen population composition and the growing infection pressure of late blight on potato crops. Some of the results of those changes are: earlier epidemics development and intensified severity of the disease, enhanced fungus pathogenicity, and changes in incidence and development of first symptoms of late blight on potato and tomato plants. The changes are connected with common appearance of the A2 mating types that result in possibility of sexual reproduction. An effect of the sexual development of the pathogen is occurrence of oospora as additional source of early infections. More composed races and forms of P. infestans resistant for some of fungicides (phenylamides) are observed in European pathogen populations.
