Journal Article
Genetic structure and population diversity of Phytophthora infestans strains in Pacific western Canada
2024
Overview
Late blight caused by
Phytophthora infestans
is an economically important disease of potato and tomato worldwide. In Canada, an increase in late blight incidence and severity coincided with changes in genetic composition of
P. infestans
. We monitored late blight incidence on tomato and potato in Pacific western and eastern Canada between 2019 and 2022, identified genotypes of
P
.
infestans
, and examined their population genetic diversity. We identified four major existing genotypes US11, US17, US8, and US23 as well as 25 new genotypes. The US11 genotype was dominant in Pacific western Canada, accounting for 59% of the total population. We discovered the US17 genotype for the first time in Canada. We revealed a higher incidence of late blight and quite diverse genotypes of
P
.
infestans
in Pacific western Canada than in eastern Canada. We found high genetic diversity of
P. infestans
population from Pacific western Canada, as evidenced by the high number of multilocus genotypes, high values of genetic diversity indices, and emergence of 25 new genotypes. Considering the number of disease incidence, the detection of diverse known genotypes, the emergence of novel genotypes, and the high number of isolates resistant to metalaxyl-m (95%) from Pacific western Canada, the region could play a role in establishing sexual recombination and diverse populations, which could ultimately pose challenges for late blight management. Therefore, continuous monitoring of
P. infestans
populations in Pacific western region and across Canada is warranted.
Key points
• Genotypes of P. infestans in Pacific western were quite diverse than in eastern Canada.
• We
discovered US17 genotype for the first time in Canada and identified 26 novel genotypes.
• Approximately 95% of P. infestans isolates were resistant to metalaxyl-m.
