Hyaloperonospora is a genus of oomycete, obligate, plant pathogens that was originally considered to be part of Peronospora.[1] Species in this group produce a disease called downy mildew and can infect many important crops.[1] From the 19 downy mildew producing genera, Hyaloperonospora has been grouped with Perofascia in the brassicolous downy mildews.[1] In the group of downy mildews, Hyaloperonospora is the third biggest genus.[1] The most famous species in the genus is the Hyaloperonospora parasitica, or also known as Hyaloperonospora arabidopsis.[2] This species has become a model organism from its ability to infect the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.[2] It is used to study plant-pathogen interactions, and is currently the only Hyaloperonospora species that has an assembled genome.[2]
