Pathogens which threaten food security: Phytophthora infestans, the potato late blight pathogen [PDF]
Food Security, 2021 Potato late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is a critical disease of potato and other solanaceous crops, such as tomato. The history of late blight is, in some ways, the history of modern plant pathology.

Evolution of Phytophthora infestans on its potato host since the Irish potato famine. [PDF]
Nat CommunPhytophthora infestans is a major oomycete plant pathogen, responsible for potato late blight, which led to the Irish Potato Famine from 1845–1852. Since then, potatoes resistant to this disease have been bred and deployed worldwide. Their resistance (R)

Ethylicin Prevents Potato Late Blight by Disrupting Protein Biosynthesis of Phytophthora infestans
Pathogens, 2020 Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato late blight, triggered the devastating Great Irish Famine that lasted from 1845 to 1852. Today, it is still the greatest threat to the potato yield.
