Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are host to many pathogenic organisms that can affect any plant part during the growing and storage seasons. Historically, certain diseases of potato have had significant socio-economical impact, like the Irish potato famine of the 1840s caused, in part, by Phytophthora infestans (late blight). |
