Peronospora is a genus of oomycetes that are obligate plant pathogens of many eudicots.[1] Most species in this group produce a downy mildew disease, which can cause severe damage to many different cultivated crops, as well as wild and ornamental plants.[2] There are 19 genera that produce downy mildew, and Peronospora has been placed alongside Pseudoperonospora in the group of downy mildews with coloured conidia.[3] Peronospora has far more species than any other genus of the downy mildews.[3] However, many species have been moved from this genus to be reclassified to other or new genera.[4] Among these was the most famous Peronospora species, formerly known as Peronospora parasitica, and now known as Hyaloperonospora parasitica.[4] Now, the Peronospora species of most importance is likely the Peronospora tabacina.[5] Peronospora tabacina causes blue mold on tobacco plants and can severely reduce yields of this economically important crop to the point where it has been classified as a bioweapon.[5][3]
