Crossing Plasmopara viticola strains in controlled conditions to uncover the genomic bases of downy mildew resistance breakdown in grapevine

The biotrophic oomycete Plasmopara viticola is the causal agent of downy mildew, one Precision of the major grapevine diseases.We report here a successful strategy to cross compatible strains of this pathogen and obtain a large viable progeny.We used this method to study the offspring between two P.viticola strains able to overcome two major grapev
