Abstract
Oospores produced from matings between US strains ofPhytophthora infestans were subjected to hot or cold temperatures and then evaluated for viability, based on percent germinationin vitro. Of 35 crosses, 3 produced oospores with sufficient germination for replicated assessments of temperature effects. Germination rates were as high as 26%, but the maximum germination percentage varied among crosses. Two additional crosses, one involving isolates from Mexico also had sufficient germination for assessment of temperature effects. Oospores did not germinate after 2 hr treatments at or above 46C, or after 12 hr treatments at 40C. Temperature treatment at -80C suppressed germination. Temperature had a similar effect on oospore germination from all crosses.
