Phytophthora infestans Sporangia Produced in Culture and on Tomato Leaflet Lesions Show Marked Differences in Indirect Germination Rates, Aggressiveness, and Global Transcription Profiles

Sporangia of Phytophthora infestans from pure cultures on agar plates are typically used in lab studies, whereas sporangia from leaflet lesions drive natural infections and epidemics. Multiple assays were performed to determine if sporangia from these two sources are equivalent. Sporangia from plate...
