Caption: Pictured are two potatoes infected with late blight disease. A new study published in Nature, by an international group that includes University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers Shiguo Zhou and David C. Schwartz, shows the entire genetic sequence of late blight, the disease that caused the Irish potato famine in the 1840s.
