Very significant advances have been made in downy mildew research since the last major text on these
oomycete fungi and the diseases they cause was published in 1981. The emphasis in this new volume is on
evolution and phylogeny, control with chemicals including those that manipulate host plant defences, mechanisms
of resistance, virulence and the gene pool of wild relatives of crop plants. Additionally, definitive lists of binomials
and authorities provide a key reference source. The book is relevant to anyone with an interest in these unique
biotrophic pathogens, either in their own right as causes of damaging diseases or as model systems for research
on host-pathogen interactions. It should be read by: students, teachers and researchers in academic and research
institutes; research and development personnel in the agrochemical industries; agricultural and horticultural
advisers, and other extension workers.
