Analysis of secondary molecular polymorphism at the level of amplified mitochondrial DNA, digested by restriction enzymes (CAPS markers), revealed genetic differentiation among ten Phytophthora infestans accessions. Mitochondrial DNA was amplified with four pairs of primers (H1,H2,H3 and H4) and after that the products of amplification were digested with Hha I (for H1 products of amplification), Msp I (for H2 products of amplification) and Eco R I (for H3 and H4 products of amplification) restriction enzymes. On this basis we have established that the ten Phytophthora infestans accessions belongs to two haplotypes, one accession belongs to Ia haplotyp and the others belong to IIa haplotype.

During 2004, an unusual spread of Phytophthora infestans on tomato plants in greenhouses located in Almería and Granada provinces, southern Spain, was observed. Infected plants had water-soaked, brown spots on leaves and stems and necrotic areas with white mold on the surface of fruits. Three isolates were obtained by plating diseased tissue on V8 juice agar medium and maintained on rye agar at 18°C. These isolates were analyzed for the mating type. Crosses were carried out using V8 juice agar and rye agar. The two parental isolates US1 (A1) and US8 (A2) were both provided by W. E. Fry, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. Two of the Spanish isolates were homothallic and the other isolate belonged to the uncommon mating type A1A2. To confirm the occurrence of the two mating types, 43 single-sporangium progeny were produced and analyzed from the A1A2 mating type. Thirty eight isolates were A1, two were A2, one was A1A2 mating type, and two were sterile. Assessment of five single-sporangium progeny from the homothallic type resulted in two A1, two homothallic, and one sterile isolate. A1A2 isolates produced oospores when crossed with either A1 or A2, but not when self-crossed. Previously, the A1A2 mating type has been found in Israel in the field and was obtained from oospores produced on tomato seeds (2,3). Since 2003, mating types of P. infestans isolates recovered from potato (60) and tomato (8) in southern Spain have been characterized. Seventy-five percent of the isolates recovered from potato were A1 and 25% were A2 mating types. Isolates recovered from tomato were 50% A1 and 50% A2 (1). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of the A1A2 mating type and homothallic P. infestans isolates on tomato in Spain. References: (1) E. Andujar et al. Congr.

Abstract DNA markers linked to the determinants of mating type in the oomycete, Phytophthora infestans, were identified and used to address the genetic basis of heterothallism in the normally diploid fungus. Thirteen loci linked to the A1 and A2 mating types were initially identified by bulked segregant analysis using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs) and subsequently scored in three crosses polymorphisms (SSCP), cleaved amplified polymorphisms (CAPS), or allele-specific polymerase chain reaction markers (AS-PCR). All DNA markers mapped to a single region, consistent with a single locus determining both mating types. Long-range restriction mapping also demonstrated the linkage of the markers to one region and delimited the mating type locus to a 100-kb region. The interval containing the mating type locus displayed non-Mendelian segregation as only two of the four expected genotypes were detected in progeny. This is consistent with a system of balance lethal loci near the mating type locus. A model for mating type determination is presented in which the balanced lethals exclude form progeny those with potentially conflicting combinations of mating type alleles, such as those simultaneously expressing A1 and A2 functions.

A total of 199 <i>Phytophthora infestans</i> isolates were obtained from leaves, tubers and fruits of infected crops of potato and tomato in different regions of the Czech Republic in 2003, 2004 and 2005. They were analysed for mating type using the conventional pairing assay and PCR markers; 107 isolates were of A1 and 92 of A2 mating type. No self-fertile isolate was found. Our study is the first report of the presence and distribution of the A2 mating type of <i>P. infestans</i> in the Czech Republic. The co-existence of the two mating types may enable the pathogen to reproduce sexually, thus enhancing the diversity of its population countrywide.
