Peronospora antirrhini J.Schröt. (1874) |
Peronospora antirrhini is a plant pathogen. It causes downy mildew on leaves of species of Antirrhinum and related genera (e.g. Misopates)[1].
The disease is generally of minor importance, but can be damaging on antirrhinum seedlings in the glasshouse, which may be systemically infected[2].
