A total of 195 isolates of Phytophthora infestans were collected from late blight-diseased potatoes grown in several localities in the Czech Republic during the years 2007-2008. The isolates were analysed for mating type using the pairing test, CAPS marker assays and PCR assays. Of the 195 tested isolates, 28% were of the A1 mating type and 75% corresponded to the A2 mating type. Furthermore, oospores of P. infestans were microscopically detected in leaf samples from one locality.

Keywords: late blight; pathogen; pairing test; CAPS; PCR; oospore detection
