Phytophthora infestans, the Irish potato famine pathogen, facilitates disease on its hosts by delivering effector proteins that modulate host cell processes to the benefit of the parasite (19), a strategy used by many biotrophic plant pathogens (20, 2122). Many putative P. infestans effectors ...
Irish immigration to the United States has left a lasting impression on its culture. Although the Irish had been immigrating since colonial times, the largest waves of immigrants came in the 1850s during the Irish Potato Famine. Once they settled in, the
