There are approximately 700 obligate biotrophic species grouped into 20 genera (Oomycota, Peronosporaceae) that cause downy mildew diseases. In 2001, Dick hypothesized that diversification of downy mildew species was driven in part by host plant secondary metabolites. Dick further speculated that th...
