In this research, isolates of P. infestans from potato (n = 184) and tomato (n = 267) collected in south-ern and southeastern Brazil were characterized to provide more detailed analysis of the current structure of the population. All 451 isolates were analyzed for mating type, and subsets of theisolates were analyzed for allozymes, restriction fragment length polymorphism fingerprint, mtDNA haplotypes, and metalaxyl resistance. Tomato isolates were all of A1 mating type, mtDNA Ib, and US-1 genotype or some variant within this clonal lineage. Of the potato isolates, 82% were A2 mating type, mtDNA IIa, BR-1 genotype, which is a new lineage of P. infestans. All A2 isolates were found on potato, whereas 91% of the A1 isolates were from tomato. A1 and A2 isolates were never found in the same field. The frequency of resistance to metalaxyl was higher in isolates from tomato (55%) than in isolates from potato (38%). After more than a dec-ade of coexistence of isolates of the A1 and A2 mating types, the population was highly clonal,dominated by the BR-1 and US-1 clonal lineages.  aBatata  aDoença  aLycopersicon Esculentum  aPhytophthora Infestans  aSolanum Tuberosum  aTomate  aDiversidade genética1 aSMART, C.
