Definitions

n.名词 noun

1
- : any of a group of fungi of the genus Phytophthora, which cause a serious plant disease, especially affecting apple and pear trees and potatoes.

We must remember that prior to 1860 the life-history of Phytophthora was not known.
Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans) is the same fungus as the late blight of potatoes, affecting both foliage and fruit.
Among them are the vine mildew (Peronospora viticola) (Fig. 35), the potato fungus (Phytophthora infestans), and many others.
