Peronospora arabidis-hirsutae is an obligate plant pathogen causing downy mildew disease on Arabidopsis and related crucifers. It inhabits infected leaf tissue of host plants in temperate environments where Arabidopsis and related plants grow. This oomycete parasite spreads through asexual sporangia during wet conditions and forms persistent oospores in infected plant debris.

Peronospora ranunculi is an oomycete downy mildew pathogen in the family Peronosporaceae, an obligate biotrophic parasite of buttercup plants (Ranunculus species). It infects leaves and stems causing chlorotic lesions on the upper surface and characteristic grayish sporulation on the undersurface. Like other Peronospora species, it spreads via air-dispersed sporangiospores and requires living host tissue to complete its lifecycle.
