Abstract
EARLY reports on the distribution of physiological races of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary showed that specialized races occurred only in districts where resistant potato seedlings were raised and grown1–3. Furthermore, it was considered that the unspecialized race, later designated race 0, was the only one to cause disease in commercial potato crops.
