Large-scale DNA sequencing of samples of foliage collected in the 19th century from plants infected with late blight has shown that the potato famines of the 1840s were triggered by a single clonal lineage of Phytophthora infestans, called HERB-1, which persisted for at least 50 years.
对19世纪从感染晚疫病的植物上采集的叶子样本进行的大规模DNA测序表明,19世纪40年代的马铃薯饥荒是由致病疫霉的一个单一克隆谱系HERB-1引发的,该谱系持续了至少50年。
