Hyaloperonospora
''Hyaloperonospora'' is a genus of oomycete, obligate, plant pathogens that was originally considered to be part of ''Peronospora''. Species in this group produce a disease called downy mildew and can infect many important crops. From the 19 downy mildew producing genera, ''Hyaloperonospora'' has been grouped with ''Perofascia'' in the brassicolous downy mildews. In the group of downy mildews, ''Hyaloperonospora'' is the third biggest genus. The most famous species in the genus is the ''Hyaloperonospora parasitica'', or also known as ''Hyaloperonospora arabidopsis''. This species has become a model organism from its ability to infect the model plant ''Arabidopsis thaliana''. It is used to study plant-pathogen interactions, and is currently the only ''Hyaloperonospora'' species that has an assembled genome. History In 2002, ''Hyaloperonospora'' was discovered and described by Constantinescu, O. and Fatehi,J. using morphological and molecular characteristics. Later, Göker ''et al' ...
