Abstract
The article is a review of the literature on different kinds of polymorphism described in isolates of Phytophthora infestans, the organism which causes an important potato disease — late blight. The article is focused on methods for revealing these kinds of polymorphism. The methods for revealing mating type, metalaxyl resistance, virulence, aggressiveness, pathogenicity, isoenzymes of peptidase and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, restriction fragment length polymorphism of nuclear DNA (probe RG-57) and mitochondrial haplotype are described in a more detailed way. PCR-based tests for examining mating type, polymorphism inside the known DNA sequences and also RAPD markers are mentioned as well.
