    Abstract:
    ABSTRACT Isolates of Phytophthora infestans collected from 1992 to 1995 from potato fields in the Columbia Basin of Oregon and Washington were analyzed for compatibility type, metalaxyl sensitivity, and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (Gpi) genotype. In 1992, 30 of 31 isolates were of the US-1 multilocus genotype. A single metalaxyl-resistant isolate of the US-6 (A1 Gpi 86/100) genotype was found near the end of the growing season. In 1993, only 2 of the 59 isolates collected were A1 isolates with Gpi 86/100. Ten isolates were of the A2 compatibility type, seven with Gpi 100/111, two with Gpi 100/100, and one was undetermined. The remaining isolates were metalaxyl-resistant A1 compatibility types with either Gpi 100/100 or 100/111. The first A2 isolates in the Columbia Basin were found in 1993. In 1994, 10 of 18 isolates were of the US-1 genotype. The remaining isolates were US-6 and US-8 genotypes. In 1995, 97% of 268 isolates tested were of the US-8 genotype. Five isolates were A2 compatibility type with Gpi 100/122. One A2, metalaxyl-resistant isolate was Gpi 100/100/111, and two A1 isolates were Gpi 100/111/122. The population of P. infestans quickly changed between 1992 and 1995, from a population comprised almost exclusively of the US-1 genotype to a population represented by new or recombinant genotypes.
