Abstract
This review summarises the progress in research on sunflower downy mildew as reported in publications of the past 10 to 15 years, the period since the last comprehensive review on Plasmopara halstedii. Particular attention is paid to subjects that showed much progress and may be of particular interest to sunflower pathologists, mycologists or molecular biologists. Accordingly, single sections are devoted to the problems of taxonomic and phylogenetic aspects, host specificity, the host—pathogen interaction including resistance phenomena, as well as epidemiology and disease management. Reflecting the progress achieved in some fields and illuminating the deficits in others should stimulate the reader's interest in this very significant pathosystem.
