this p<strong>at</strong>hogen. Using <strong>the</strong> subtractive hybridiz<strong>at</strong>ion (SH)/cDNA-AFLP combin<strong>at</strong>ional<br />

approach, DOXP-MEP p<strong>at</strong>hway genes were identified for first time in <strong>pot<strong>at</strong>o</strong> and its<br />

regul<strong>at</strong>ion in response to <strong>the</strong> oomycete P. infestans. The DOXP-MEP p<strong>at</strong>hway, also<br />

called <strong>the</strong> non-mevalon<strong>at</strong>e route is an altern<strong>at</strong>ive terpenoids' biosyn<strong>the</strong>tic route th<strong>at</strong> was<br />

discovered first in eubacteria and soon after in photosyn<strong>the</strong>tic organisms such as higher<br />

plants, algae as well as in cyanobacteria. In addition, <strong>pot<strong>at</strong>o</strong> plants tre<strong>at</strong>ed with glucans<br />

extracted from P. infestans, <strong>the</strong> elicitor eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and P. infestans<br />

iso<strong>l<strong>at</strong>e</strong>s were analyzed to study <strong>the</strong> accumul<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> phenolic compounds and expression<br />

level <strong>of</strong> genes from <strong>the</strong> phenylpropanoid, mevalon<strong>at</strong>e and DOXP-MEP p<strong>at</strong>hway.<br />
