Genomic Characterization of a South American Phytophthora Hybrid Mandates Reassessment of the Geographic Origins of Phytophthora infestans

As the oomycete pathogen causing potato late blight disease, Phytophthora infestans triggered the famous 19th-century Irish potato famine and remains the leading cause of global commercial potato crop destruction. But the geographic origin of the genotype that caused this devastating initial outbreak remains disputed, as does the New World center of origin of the species itself. Both Mexico and South America have been proposed, generating considerable controversy. Here, we readdress the pathogen’s origins using a genomic data set encompassing 71 globally sourced modern and historical samples of P. infestans and the hybrid species P. andina, a close relative known only from the Andean highlands. Previous studies have suggested that the nuclear DNA lineage behind the initial outbreaks in Europe in 1845 is now extinct. Analysis of P. andina’s phased haplotypes recovered eight haploid genome sequences, four of which represent a previously unknown basal lineage of P. infestans closely related to the famine-era lineage. Our analyses further reveal that clonal lineages of both P. andina and historical P. infestans diverged earlier than modern Mexican lineages, casting doubt on recent claims of a Mexican center of origin. Finally, we use haplotype phasing to demonstrate that basal branches of the clade comprising Mexican samples are occupied by clonal isolates collected from wild Solanum hosts, suggesting that modern Mexican P. infestans diversified on Solanum tuberosum after a host jump from a wild species and that the origins of P. infestans are more complex than was previously thought.


Introduction
Species in the oomycete genus Phytophthora (plant destroyer) are important pathogens on many plants in agricultural, forest and aquatic environs, and new species are being described at an accelerating pace (Hansen et al. 2012;Guha Roy and Gr€ unwald 2015). Phytophthora spp. have large biological and agronomic impacts and are pathogenic on natural populations of many host species (e.g., P. ramorum; Rizzo et al. 2005), as well as important crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, soybeans, alfalfa, peppers and cocoa (Erwin and Ribeiro 1996). Although the major locales of diversification of their primary hosts often have been identified, centers of origin of many Phytophthora species are unknown (Hansen et al. 2012).
Among Phytophthora species, P. infestans is perhaps the most widely known. Its reputation arises both from its destructive potential as a plant pathogen that was once responsible for great human loss, and to a particular ability to inspire scientific controversy, for example, in its early identification as the causal agent of a plant disease, as well as its highly disputed New World origin (Bourke 1991). Placed within Phytophthora clade 1c, the species likely originated in the New World tropics, the center of diversity for many host species (Douglas and Manos 2007;Olmstead et al. 2008;Serrano-Serrano et al. 2010). Specifically where this center of origin lies, however, remains debated (Abad ZG and Abad JA 1997;Kroon 2010), with different lines of evidence pointing to either central Mexico (Goss et al. 2014) or the South American Andes (G omez-Alpizar et al. 2007). Important for the debate is that P. infestans has the capacity for both sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual populations are sources of novel P. infestans diversity and were first discovered in Mexico (Drenth et al. 1993;Goodwin 1997), although asexual lineages are also highly adaptable due to an unstable, repeat-rich genome (Haas et al. 2009) and possibly frequent mitotic recombination (Goodwin 1997;Chamnanpunt et al. 2001;Balloux et al. 2003).
At least four lines of evidence have been interpreted as supporting a Mexican origin. First, genetically diverse, sexually reproducing populations have been observed in the Toluca Valley in the highlands of central Mexico. Second, resistance genes against P. infestans exist in wild Mexican potato species such as Solanum demissum. Third, the closest relatives of P. infestans yet identified (P. ipomoeae and P. mirabilis) are endemic in Mexico (Gr€ unwald and Flier 2005). Finally, although both mating types can be found in various locales within Andean South America, the mating types are geographically isolated, and no sexual populations have been observed there (Perez et al. 2001;Adler et al. 2002;Forbes et al. 2013). Goss et al. (2014) recently performed a Bayesian phylogeographic analysis of four nuclear markers and concluded a Mexican origin for the species and the entire clade 1c. Although measures of nucleotide diversity were higher in Andean populations at all but one locus, the higher diversity was ascribed to hybridization or admixture in South America.
However, compelling evidence also points to an origin in the South American Andes, which is a center of origin of cultivated potatoes and where historical observations of endemic late blight in Andean Solanaceae hosts were reported (Berkeley 1846;De Bary 1863;Bourke 1964;Abad ZG and Abad JA 1997). Second, phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial genome sequences from P. infestans have identified two major haplogroups, one of which (type II) exists mostly within South American isolates (Avila-Adame et al. 2006;Martin et al. 2014). Third, G omez-Alpizar et al. (2007) used coalescent analyses to argue that the oldest mutations in analyzed nuclear and mitochondrial loci were present only in South American isolates, and that initial migration out of South America was the most likely scenario. Fourth, elevated allelic diversity of the US-1 clonal lineage in Ecuador has been suggested as evidence that this lineage is endemic there (Oliva et al. 2007;Forbes et al. 2013).
A second debated question relates to the source of the historical genotypes that first destroyed potato crops on a global scale. Although Mexico is the clear source of recent migrations of more virulent genotypes into Europe and the United States (Fry 2008), the ancestral geographic source of the first P. infestans introductions into the United States/ Europe in the 1840s is still unresolved (Bourke 1964;Abad ZG and Abad JA 1997;Gr€ unwald and Flier 2005;Birch and Cooke 2013). Analysis of ancient DNA (aDNA) has been useful for resolving questions about the migratory history of P. infestans by providing a direct window into past events. For example, an introduction of P. infestans carrying the US-1/Ib mitochondrial lineage was suspected to have caused the famine-era outbreaks in Europe, until polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and genomic sequencing of historical P. infestans samples embedded in herbarium-sourced potato leaves revealed that it was an entirely different lineage (Ristaino et al. 2001;May and Ristaino 2004). More recent aDNA studies reported genomic data from additional historical samples of P. infestans from western and northern Europe Yoshida et al. 2013;Martin et al. 2014). Assembly and phylogenetic analysis of whole mitogenomes from historical P. infestans assigned these 19th-century samples to a novel mitogenomic lineage called HERB-1, which was originally proposed as extinct (Birch and Cooke 2013;Yoshida et al. 2013), but then shown to be extant in P. infestans isolates from both Mexico and Ecuador (Martin et al. 2014).
Ongoing failure in resolving these questions using multilocus genotyping and conventional phylogeographic analyses mandates the adoption of new approaches. The key to the origins of P. infestans may lie in P. andina (G omez-Alpizar et al. 2008;Oliva et al. 2010), a close Andean relative hypothesized to have arisen through multiple hybridizations between P. infestans and an as yet undescribed species within Phytophthora clade 1c (Goss et al. 2011;Blair et al. 2012). Identified to date only within a limited geographic range in the highlands of Ecuador and Peru (Adler et al. 2004), P. andina is a pathogen on various Solanum species, and in some South American locales occurs sympatrically with P. infestans on S. betaceum and S. muricatum (Adler et al. 2004;G omez-Alpizar et al. 2008;P erez 2009;Oliva et al. 2010;C ardenas et al. 2011;Forbes et al. 2013). A close phylogenetic relationship between P. andina and P. infestans has also been used as evidence for an Andean origin of both species (Adler et al. 2004;G omez-Alpizar et al. 2007). Although some debate its status as a novel species (C ardenas et al. 2011;Forbes et al. 2011;Oliva et al. 2010), interspecies hybridization is common in Phytophthora and is presumed to have been a major driver of evolution within the genus. This is because hybridization events can lead to changes in host range (host jumping), the loss of sex, and subsequent speciation (Goodwin and Fry 1994;Brasier 2000;Gr€ unwald and Flier 2005;Raffaele et al. 2010;Goss et al. 2011;Blair et al. 2012).
Of key relevance to the origin of P. infestans is the observation that P. andina isolates contain two highly divergent mtDNA haplotypes (Adler et al. 2004). Although one (Ic) is clearly distinct from P. infestans lineages, the other (Ia) is closely related to the historical European haplotypes that were recently assigned to the HERB-1 mitogenome lineage (Yoshida et al. 2013;Lassiter et al. 2015). We hypothesized that the underlying reason for this may be relevant for a full understanding of P. infestans origins, so we assembled and analyzed a genomic data set of globally sourced P. infestans and P. andina samples. To resolve the aforementioned open questions in P. infestans population biology and to characterize its New World populations as potential sources of the historical European introductions, here we present phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of 57 nuclear genomes and 68 mitochondrial genomes from clade 1c Phytophthora species.

Phylogenomic Analysis of Mitogenome Sequences
We generated genomic data from 31 modern and historical samples and assembled sequence data from all previously published P. infestans genomic data sets, creating the largest globally distributed sample of P. infestans genomic data yet amassed ( fig. 1a and supplementary table S1, Supplementary Material online). We then subjected putative mitogenomic reads to iterative, reference-guided assembly, producing mitogenome assemblies with mean read depths of over 200Â (supplementary table S2 MBE online). The mitogenome phylogeny is consistent with previous estimates based on smaller data sets, displaying the wellknown type I/type II divergence that segregates most South American isolates ( fig. 1b).
Mitogenomes of P. andina isolates EC3425 and PaX diverged early from the P. infestans clade, supporting previous observations that these lineages had their origins in hybridization events in which the mtDNA donor was an unknown clade 1c Phytophthora spp. (Lassiter et al. 2015). Mitogenomes from 19th-century European samples of P. infestans have previously been assigned to a distinct lineage called HERB-1, which persists in extant isolates of P. infestans from Mexico and Ecuador (Martin et al. 2014). Remarkably, the lineage also persists in Ecuadorian isolates of P. andina EC3394 and P13803, both of which originate from S. betaceum hosts. A single A to G polymorphism is private to, and diagnostic of, all HERB-1 lineage samples (supplementary fig. S1, Supplementary Material online). Nodes uniting HERB-1 isolates of P. andina with their closest relatives are substantially younger than the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of Relationships within a global sampling of historical and present-day Phytophthora infestans genomes. (a) Map of sample collections for which nuclear genomic data were analyzed. Circle colors indicate the samples' nuclear genetic cluster assignment in panel (d). (b) Chronogram from Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of P. infestans and P. andina mitogenomes. Mitogenome sequences were calibrated by tip (collection) dates. Red branches and labels indicate P. andina isolates. The dashed lines illustrate the phylogenetic position of two type Ic P. andina mitogenomes that were not included in this phylogenetic reconstruction because they did not cluster with the P. infestans sequences and so violate the coalescent assumptions of the BEAST analysis. Asterices indicate sequence reads from Yoshida et al. (2013) Fry et al. 2015), some of the recently introduced aggressive strains in both Europe (06_3928A) and the United States appear to have a Mexican origin, as they share an MRCA with the largely Mexican MX clade, and Mexican isolates PIC99189 and P10650 segregate with this group ( fig. 1c). For the same reasons, a Mexican origin for the SA isolates is also likely (Goss et al. 2014). Notably, the FAM and US-1 lineages fall in a highly supported position at the base of P. infestans, and US-1 is not derived from the MX clade. Two other phylogenomic estimation methods produced consistent topologies (supplementary figs. S4 and S5, Supplementary Material online). Although not specifically mentioned in their text, the results of Yoshida et al. (2013) showed that interclade relatedness of the mitogenome is inconsistent with that of the nuclear genome. We confirm these observations, especially for samples carrying the HERB-1 mitogenome lineage ( fig. 1b).
We also produced a multilocus age estimate for nodes of our nuclear phylogeny for comparison with estimates from mitogenomic data presented by Martin et al. (2014) and Yoshida et al. (2013). We examined the mean age of the node uniting all FAM-cluster specimens as well as the root node uniting all P. infestans (including ingroup P. andina isolates when appropriate) at all nuclear gene alignments for which the analysis produced a "precise" estimate. Based only on the 155 genes with precise estimates, the mean of the median estimates for these ages yields a date of the MRCA of 1558 CE (Common Era) for the root node and 1590 CE for the famine-era outbreak clade. This supports the observation of Yoshida et al. (2013) that the estimated age of the P. infestans root node corresponds well with the earliest European activity in South America, and further suggests that the genotypes first introduced to 19th-century Europe originated shortly after the species itself diversified.

Admixture Proportion Estimates
A history of movement between the disparate global locales considered in our samples is problematic for population genetic inference. Thus, we used genotype likelihoods to estimate population structure, assigning individual nuclear genomes to ad hoc genetic clusters without considering the actual geographic origins of collections. The largest peak of Áln(K) occurred at K = 2 (supplementary fig. S6, Supplementary Material online), for which all 19th-century European and US-1/Ib clonal lineage samples form a welldefined cluster with isolates of P. andina, which share 30-40% ancestry with an outgroup cluster containing only P. ipomoeae and P. mirabilis (supplementary fig. S7, Supplementary Material online). At greater values of K, the P. andina samples continue to show a mixed ancestry that includes both the outgroup species and the famine-era specimens, which provides further evidence that P. andina is a hybrid of an FAM genotype and an outgroup species. When K = 6, the genetic clusters generally agree with the topology of the phylogenetic tree ( fig. 1c and d).

Clonal Reproduction and Genomic Heterozygosity
Relatively high heterozygosity at nuclear loci has been used as evidence for a recent hybrid origin for P. andina (Goss et al. 2011). Mean genomic heterozygosity for the sampled nuclear genomes of P. infestans ranged from approximately 0.38% to 0.7% ( fig. 2). P. andina genomes were highly heterozygous, with a mean value of 1.40%, followed by the P. infestans clonal lineages US-1 (0.67%) and SA (0.52%). Least heterozygous were the AGG (0.46%), FAM (0.41%), and MX (0.38%) clusters. One measure of clonality in lineages is the proportion of variant sites at which the same heterozygous genotype is fixed in every sample from the same population cluster. This value was computed for all genetic clusters and was also elevated in the clonal lineages (supplementary fig. S8, Supplementary Material online).
We also estimated linkage disequilibrium within our genetic clusters as an indicator of recent sexual reproduction (supplementary fig. S9, Supplementary Material online). Linkage decay in MX and AGG was consistent with sexual reproduction, whereas the FAM and AND clusters stood out in that they both showed complete linkage at all inter-SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) distances, indicating complete clonality of these lineages.
The site frequency spectrum (SFS) not only captures past demographic changes but also appears to indicate clonality in certain populations ( fig. 2). Although the MX and AGG populations showed distributions consistent with a long period of constant population size, the AND, FAM, US-1, and SA populations showed a major increase of genomic SNPs with allele frequencies around 50%. We tested whether mapping errors could produce the unusual SFS we observed in clonal lineages, but found that the pattern persisted even when limiting the analysis to uniquely mappable regions of the genome (supplementary fig. S10, Supplementary Material online). We propose that this SFS pattern signifies a long period of clonal reproduction that began when the original genotype lost the capacity and/or opportunity for sexual reproduction, fixing its own heterozygous alleles, which persisted at a 1:1 ratio within the clonal population formed by its descendants. Thereafter, deviation from 50% allele frequency at these sites would be facilitated only by forces such as genetic drift, selection, and mitotic recombination, which could drive some alleles to fixation in different clonal sublineages. Another possible explanation for these SFS observations is that the clonal lineages originated in hybridization events between divergent taxa, with a similar series of subsequent events.
Our investigation of loss-of-heterozygosity tracts revealed that they are relatively common throughout all clonal lineages examined. Notably, we estimate up to 15% of the genome in clonal lineages has been converted to homozygosity due to mitotic recombination (supplementary table S3, Supplementary Material online). The MX and AGG populations produced much smaller measures around 1%. From our estimates on supercontig1, we project that the total fraction of the genome phased by mitotic recombination is 6.1% for the SA lineage, 7.5% for the US-1 lineage, 9.6% for the FAM lineage, and 14.7% for the AND lineage.

Phylogenomic Estimates from Phased Nuclear Haplotypes
Our previous analyses indicated substantial interhaplotype divergence in clonal individuals that could have implications for the nature of the most basal P. infestans lineages. To further explore the evolutionary history of the highly heterozygous clonal lineages, we performed local-scale, haplotype frequency-based phasing on the genotype calls for 55 ingroup nuclear genomes. Assessing this phasing using publicly available Sanger sequences from corresponding cloned PCR products, we estimated the error rate at approximately 1.6% (supplementary table S4, Supplementary Material online). We then used the resulting 110 haplotype sequences to infer phylogenies of individual supercontigs (supplementary figs. S11-S18, Supplementary Material online). Remarkably, these phylogenetic trees yield insight into the mode of reproduction of some lineages. In a sexually reproducing population, sequence divergence that accumulates on chromosome copies is shared among individuals through meiotic recombination, but we observed a possible "Meselson effect" in the haplotype sequences from known clonally reproducing lineages. As theorized by Birky (1996), in these samples two haplotype sequences from the same individual are more divergent from each other than they are from corresponding haplotype sequences of other individuals from the same clonal lineage. Individual P. andina mitogenomes belong to divergent clades that suggest a hybrid origin from a P. infestans parent ( fig. 1b). Similarly, P. andina nuclear genome haplotypes formed two deeply divergent clonal lineages for all supercontig trees examined. This divergence is apparently much older than the divergence between the P. andina haplotypes contributed by an ancient P. infestans parent and the rest of the P. infestans haplotypes observed ( fig. 3). To approximate this age difference, we calculated the ratio of the total branch length between node A (MRCA of all P. andina haplotypes) and node C (MRCA of all P. infestans haplotypes) to the total branch length between node B (MRCA of all P. infestans-like haplotypes) and node A (supplementary table S5, Supplementary Material online). This ratio was calculated for the nine largest supercontigs, yielding a mean 6.1fold older time of divergence from the ancestor of P. infestans for these two classes of P. andina haplotypes. Thus we argue that a non-P. infestans parent contributed one lineage of P. andina haplotypes, whereas the other lineage was contributed by a parent closely related to the root of all previously identified P. infestans haplotypes.
Haplotype sequences occupying the basal branches of clades containing isolates from the MX, AGG, and SA clusters often were apparently clonally evolving as evidenced by highly supported divergence between phased haplotypes from the same individual (supplementary figs. S11-S18, Supplementary Material online). For seven of the nine supercontigs examined, haplotype sequences belonging to isolates collected from non-Solanum tuberosum hosts were positioned in groups that were basal to the rest of MX, AGG, and SA isolates. These relatively well-supported divergence patterns were different for each supercontig examined. For example, for supercontigs 1, 4 and 5, one haplotype from isolate P98372 (collected from S. demissum) is basal to all other MX-cluster sequences. At supercontig 8, one haplotype from isolate PIC99189 (collected from S. stoloniferum) is basal to all MX-cluster sequences. In the highest-likelihood phylogenetic trees of the five remaining supercontigs, basal or nearly basal positions were occupied by groups of wild-host MX isolates or MX isolates harboring the HERB-1 mitogenomic lineage. These results were further supported by Shimodaira-Hasegawa (SH) topology tests. For each supercontig phylogenetic analysis, SH testing identified between 0 and 21 equally likely trees (supplementary table S6, Supplementary Material online). In every case in which equally likely trees were identified, 100% of the equallikelihood trees supported the node segregating a basal group containing wild-host MX isolates or MX isolates harboring the HERB-1 mitogenomic lineage.

Genetic Differentiation and Gene Flow
The P. infestans-like haplotype lineage preserved within P. andina genomes may be a relic of ancient gene flow that provides insight into the evolutionary history of P. infestans in the New World. To evaluate the connectedness of our defined groups, we quantified intercluster differentiation using mean pairwise genetic distances (supplementary table S7 . The smallest distance to the AND cluster is from FAM, whereas the lowest pairwise F ST value for the FAM cluster is with AND, indicating a close relationship between these lineages. Very small distances between the MX, AGG, SA, and FAM clusters suggest close genetic relationships between them. Our measures of F ST revealed that the AGG population cluster is by far the least differentiated on average, likely due to a history of admixture and gene flow with both Mexican and South American genotypes. The measures establish a strong genetic relationship between P. andina and the FAM cluster that suggests some ancient gene flow. To gain insight into any putative past hybridization between P. andina and P. infestans populations, we looked for archaic admixture between our genetic clusters of interest using the D-statistic, originally developed to measure introgression of the Neanderthal genome into modern humans (Green et al. 2010). Population-wise D-statistics (Durand et al. 2011) show that FAM specimen genomes contain strong signals of introgression with AND (supplementary table S9, Supplementary Material online). These results were consistent no matter which P. infestans population was chosen for comparison (P 2 ). US-1 showed much smaller but significant values of introgression with P. andina. We detected no introgression of P. andina with the SA or MX genetic clusters; thus, P. andina has no history of introgression with our sample of modern P. infestans populations in Mexico or South America. We also detected no signal of introgression of FAM or US-1 historical outbreak specimen clusters into MX or SA clusters. Similarly, we detected no signal of introgression of MX or SA populations into the FAM cluster, indicating that historical outbreaks came from a source population that had not recombined with the Mexican or South American populations we examined in this study.
Phylogenetic trees have been widely used in population genetics to visualize relationships among populations. Although a bifurcating phylogeny can provide a valuable initial assessment, this model assumes that populations split and experienced no further interpopulation gene flow, which is not always the case. Past hybridization events, like those in this report, violate this basic assumption of a bifurcating tree and may result in misleading inferences. To account for this effect, we used TreeMix (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) to infer patterns of population splitting and mixing from genomewide allele frequency data within the previously defined genetic clusters.
Under an assumption of zero gene flow events, the TreeMix model resulted in extremely high error residuals, indicating that our data are most compatible with one or more admixture events in the history of the P. infestans and P. andina, which is compatible with a complex history of human-mediated admixture (supplementary fig. S19, Supplementary Material online). Allowing for a single mixture event, we see strong gene flow (34% weight) from an ancestral P. ipomoeae population to the P. andina cluster AND, which is placed in a sister position relative to the FAM population  5). This primary event indicates an origin of P. andina as the result of hybridization between an unknown relative of P. ipomoeae and a close relative of the FAM clade, which has a recent common ancestor with P. andina. Assuming more than one interpopulation gene flow event, there are signs of gene flow at least between the US-1 cluster and the ancestor of both P. andina and the FAM clade. At 42.3% weight, this secondary event reflects a contribution of early US-1 populations to ancestors of the FAM lineage that caused the famine in Europe.

Relating the Hybrid P. andina and the Irish Potato Famine
Our analyses provide strong evidence for a shared evolutionary history of P. andina and the P. infestans genotypes that triggered the first global outbreak of potato blight disease in 1845 and ultimately underpinned the catastrophic Irish potato famine. Specifically, genomic phasing of the sequence data from four modern isolates of the diploid hybrid P. andina recovers four haploid genome sequences of an ancient P. infestans lineage. Most notably, this lineage is sister to all modern and historic P. infestans genomes that have been sequenced so far, and so predates the famine-era lineage introduced outside the New World in the 1840s. We acknowledge, however, that one likely effect of the estimated 1.6% phasing switch error rate on the phylogenetic position of the P. andina would be to attract the branches of P. infestans-like haplotypes toward outgroup branches. Thus although we cannot be entirely certain of the precise placement of these P. andina haplotypes, the low error rate and the other evidence we present suggest that they belong within the FAM lineage. It is also unknown if this lineage still persists in nature.
Still only a small number P. infestans and P. andina genomes have been sequenced, so more intense sampling in Mexico and South America, followed by additional genomic sequencing, could settle the question. Phytophthora andina is thought to have originated from multiple hybridizations involving P. infestans (Blair et al. 2012). Our measures of exceptionally high genomic heterozygosity confirm a hybrid origin of diploid P. andina nuclear genomes, as previously inferred from a few nuclear markers (Goss et al. 2011). Owing to the unprecedented number and diversity of genomes analyzed, our study now provides insights into the nature of these hybridization events and important clues about when and where they occurred. Previous studies determined that isolates of P. andina possess highly divergent Ic or Ia mtDNA haplotypes (Adler et al. 2004;Oliva et al. 2010;Goss et al. 2011). However, our tip-calibrated mitogenome phylogeny indicates that type-Ia P. andina isolates actually carry the HERB-1 lineage in Ecuador. The Bayesian estimate of the mitochondrial tree clearly reveals at least two divergent mitochondrial lineages among the 19th-century mitogenomes. Indeed, as the Ia P. andina sequences cluster with relatively high support within different clades of the HERB-1 lineage, it seems that there were at least two hybridization events in which the maternal lineage that gave rise to P. andina was drawn from the same pool of P. infestans diversity that was introduced to 19th-century Europe. As neither of these P. andina mitogenomes diverged earlier than the MRCA of all historical HERB-1 P. infestans samples, this contradicts the hypothesis that a single mitochondrial haplotype was introduced into Europe in the 19th century (Yoshida et al. 2013). Instead, as suggested by Martin et al. (2014), at least two HERB-1 haplotypes were introduced.
Hybridization between the two parent species of P. andina must have occurred where they shared a host range. Both TreeMix analysis and D-statistics support a signal of ancestral admixture between P. andina isolates and the historical FAM samples. This is conclusive evidence that FAM-like genotypes once existed in Ecuador or Peru, the known range of P. andina. However, despite the fact that P. andina and P. infestans share common hosts in South America, and likely have had opportunities to mate and produce pathogenic offspring (Adler et al. 2004;P erez 2009;Forbes et al. 2013), D-statistics indicate no introgression between P. andina and our samples of the SA cluster, which were largely collected from modern South American populations. This suggests that P. andina has reproduced asexually since its initial formation, or that it has always been incompatible with P. infestans. Similarly, we did not detect significant introgression between the FAM or US-1 groups and the MX or SA clusters. If sexual reproduction still occurred in the ancestors of these lineages after divergence of the MX and SA clusters, then our results suggest that the FAM and US-1 lineages either originated outside our sampled geographic range or TreeMix graph representing population splitting patterns of the Phytophthora groups studied. Phytophthora mirabilis was used as outgroup and the length of the branches is proportional to the genetic drift of each population. Analysis with TreeMix reveals that P. andina resulted from a major hybridization event between an unknown outgroup related to P. ipomoeae and a P. infestans genotype most related to FAM, which caused the Irish potato famine. The arrow shows the direction of the primary inferred hybridization edge, and its color indicates a migration weight (the fraction of ancestry derived from the migration event) of 34%.
were formerly segregated from other P. infestans populations on a non-S. tuberosum host.

Allele Sequence Divergence within Clonal Lineages
In partially clonal P. infestans genomes, the differential accrual of mutations on sister chromosomes may produce a positive correlation between genomic heterozygosity and the time since last sexual reproduction. The MX and AGG isolates have the lowest levels of genomic heterozygosity as well as LD decay that indicates recent sexual recombination. Sexual reproduction is known to occur in modern populations of P. infestans in North Europe, but United States lineages are mostly asexual (Fry et al. 2015). Although the low heterozygosity of herbarium-derived FAM clonal lineage samples is closer to the mean heterozygosity of the MX and AGG samples than to the clonal SA samples, this is probably an effect of "frozen" evolution in this lineage, which may have only lost sexual reproduction not long before the collection date. In contrast, chromosomes within the US-1 samples, which were collected more recently, have had more time to accrue mutations and increase heterozygosity. We ascribe the especially high heterozygosity of the P. andina isolates to both the accrual of different mutations on sister chromosomes since the loss of sexual reproduction as well as their divergent hybrid chromosomes. We cannot rule out, however, that genomic heterozygosity in clonal lineages is mostly generated during an initially wide cross between divergent genotypes, after which sexual reproduction is lost.

The Geographic Origin of P. infestans
Our data also allow us to readdress the geographic origin of P. infestans. Our date estimates for the speciation of both P. infestans and P. andina do not preclude a human connection, as they are well within the time of Incan trade and early European exploration of Central and South America. Thus, it is tantalizing to speculate that both species originated from human-mediated dispersal/hybridization events from the Andean region to Mexico. Although it has been recently claimed that P. infestans originated in Mexico (Yoshida et al. 2013;Goss et al. 2014), our results demonstrate that nuclear genome lineages basal to modern P. infestans diversity exclusively consist of samples collected outside Mexico. With its characteristic and deep split between type I and predominantly Andean type II haplotypes, the mitogenome phylogeny of P. infestans also suggests an ancient segregation event that cannot satisfactorily be explained by an entirely Mexican origin of the species (Griffith and Shaw 1998;Avila-Adame et al. 2006;G omez-Alpizar et al. 2008;Yoshida et al. 2013;Martin et al. 2014). Indeed, because the most basal P. infestans-like nDNA haplotypes survive within P. andina, found only in the highlands of Peru and Ecuador, our phylogenetic analyses support the species' center of origin there.

Sampling Bias and Early Host Switching in Mexican Populations
Our observation that the FAM lineage is sister to all modern nuclear genomic diversity was unexpected. Our nuclear genome phylogeny differs substantially from those of Martin et al. (2013) and Yoshida et al. (2013), both of which reconstructed trees using genomic sequence data from small numbers of samples. Our larger sample captures more completely P. infestans diversity, which we feel enables a more accurate reconstruction of the genealogy of the included genomes. However, phylogenetic reconstruction can be influenced by the inclusion of lineages that have undergone appreciable genetic exchange (e.g., Larson et al. 2012). Specifically, recombination can lead to an apparent reduction in the time to the MRCA (Schierup and Hein 2000), which would favor the grouping of the sexually reproducing lineages that exchanged genetic material more recently. Clonal lineages would then appear genetically distinct from sexually reproducing lineages. This is not likely in our case since the genetic distance from the FAM lineage to all other modern groups is approximately equal, suggesting that none of these groups is the source population of the FAM lineage, but that in fact, as can be interpreted from the phylogeny, the FAM lineage diverged early on from the lineage that gave rise to genotypes from contemporary P. infestans populations. Clonal lineages at the most basal branches of the nuclear genome phylogeny suggest that the full extent of P. infestans diversity may not have been included in our analysis. But the only apparent bias in our selection of available isolates, which span known P. infestans diversity, is that our P. infestans samples were primarily collected from S. tuberosum hosts. Most studies of the genetic diversity of P. infestans focus on isolates from potato and tomato crops due to their economic importance, but much "paleoendemic" diversity may exist on other Solanaceae of the Ecuadorian Andes (Adler et al. 2004). Thus an entirely different type of sampling bias could explain our results, and even more ancestral lineages may exist on unsampled wild Solanum hosts. We conclude that full resolution of the evolutionary history of Phytophthora species in the Ic clade necessitates intensive sampling of all the clade 1c species over a broader geographic area that includes Central and South America.
In our phylogenetic analyses, the relative position of basaltending Mexican isolates was often inconsistent between the mito-/nuclear genome phylogenies. Unsurprisingly, these clonal lineages tend to carry HERB-1 mtDNA, which we link with ambiguous geographic origins and nuclear/mitochondrial phylogenetic incongruence. These observations could be related to the stochastic nature of mitochondrial genome inheritance, but are also consistent with exceptional events such interspecific or interlineage hybridization (Rieseberg et al. 1996) in the early evolution of these lineages. More curious are observations within Mexican populations of mosaic nuclear genomes with inconsistent signals of ancestry across different genomic blocks, which may best be explained as an effect of partial hybridization (unequal inheritance of parental markers) that is common in Phytophthora (F€ orster and Coffey 1990; P erez 2009). Together, these findings point to a possible origin of modern Mexican P. infestans populations through jumps to domestic potato from multiple wild Solanum hosts, such as S. demissum, which is distributed from northern Mexico to Guatemala and was first collected shortly 487 Population Genomics of Phytophthora infestans . doi:10.1093/molbev/msv241 MBE after the first global outbreak as source material for resistance breeding in European potato cultivars (Lindley 1848 Alternative Scenarios for the Origin of P. infestans Synthesizing our new findings with historical evidence that P. infestans first appeared in Europe shortly after its first observations in the United States enables us to propose two scenarios for the origin of P. infestans and its subsequent expansion out of the Americas into Europe (Bourke 1991). In the first, favored by Goss et al. (2014), P. infestans originated in Mexico, and sexual reproduction is the ancestral state of the species. The FAM/HERB-1 lineage was formerly at high frequency in Mexico, and Mexican FAM genotypes were transported by humans almost simultaneously north to the United States and south to the Ecuadorian Andes. From the United States, a few of these genotypes were further transported to Europe in the early 1840s. In Ecuador, the FAM-like individual lived in sympatry with as-yet-undiscovered clade 1c Phytophthora species on S. betaceum or another solanaceous host, where they formed the offspring we now know as P. andina through multiple hybridization events. The HERB-1 mitogenomic lineage persists to this day in Mexico, but local demographic fluctuations there have left it as only a relic on potato populations, whereas Mexican FAM genotypes have since been completely outcompeted and replaced.
In the second scenario, FAM genotypes long existed in South America possibly on nonpotato hosts, where they lived in sympatry with an unknown clade 1c Phytophthora species and with which they formed hybrids on multiple occasions. South American clonal lineages were introduced to Mexican domesticated potatoes, possibly through a host jump, and FAM genotypes from South America were also introduced to the United States and then Europe. The FAM lineage may persist unsampled on solanaceous hosts in Ecuador and Peru, but more recent introductions of other clonal lineages from Mexico now dominate these potato populations.

Toward Global Population Genomics of Complex Pathogens
Migration and population substructure (e.g., on different hosts) are some of the major drivers of Phytophthora evolution (Flier et al. 2003;Goss et al. 2009), but are also problematic for elucidating the recent evolutionary history of these species. Mosaic genomes appear to be the rule for P. infestans and may be best explained by complex host switching and recombination in the earliest history of P. infestans and P. andina. Much promise lies in the coming flood of genomic data from pathogen populations undergoing complex biological processes, such as hybridization and occasional clonal reproduction (partial clonality; e.g., Arnaud-Haond et al. 2014). Data sets like ours show that multiple lines of evidence generated from sophisticated genomic toolsets can help to elucidate ancestry and recent divergence of fast-evolving species like these, and ultimately will provide opportunities to study host-specific adaptation and the evolution of resistance loci in great detail. Our work highlights the importance of disparate live culture and herbarium collections for future genomic studies of P. infestans, as well as the necessity of their careful curation.

Sample Sources and DNA Extraction
Cryostorage-preserved P. infestans isolate mycelium and DNA from historic herbarium samples were obtained from J.B.R.'s research collection, and more recent samples purchased from Mike Coffey's "World Phytophthora Collection" (supplementary table S1, Supplementary Material online). Genomic DNA was extracted from mycelium using two protocols described in detail previously (Martin et al. , 2014. DNA was extracted from P. andina isolate EC3394 using a cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) procedure as in Ristaino et al. (2001). To conduct a combined analysis of all available genomic data along with the Phytophthora spp. genomes sequenced here, publicly available Illumina genomic shotgun sequence reads from previously sequenced Phytophthora spp. modern isolates and historical samples were obtained from the Sequence Read Archive public database under accession codes ERP003267, ERP002419, ERP002420, ERP002550, and ERP002552 and from the European Nucleotide Archive under accession code PRJNA52431.

Bayesian Phylogenetic Analysis of Mitogenome Sequences
To estimate the evolutionary timescale of P. infestans, we performed a Bayesian dating analysis on an alignment of iteratively assembled mitochondrial genome sequences (supplementary file S1, Supplementary Material online) using BEAST v1.8.0 (Drummond et al. 2012). Missing nucleotides and gaps were treated as ambiguous bases (N). The Bayesian information criterion was used to identify the best-fitting substitution model for each of five data subsets (three codon positions of protein-coding genes, rRNA genes, and intergenic sites). We used the flexible skyride coalescent prior for the tree (Minin et al. 2008). An initial analysis using an uncorrelated lognormal relaxed clock model (Drummond et al. 2006) indicated a very low degree of rate heterogeneity across branches, so we used a strict clock model. The sampling times of the sequences were used to calibrate the estimates of the substitution rate and coalescence times. The ages of the sequences were previously shown to be sufficient for calibration, based on a daterandomization test (Martin et al. 2014). Two independent Markov chain Monte Carlo analyses were performed to estimate the posterior distributions of parameters, including the tree.

Creation of a Multiple Sequence Alignment of the Nuclear Genome
The GATK UnifiedGenotyper tool was used with a minimum genotype quality score of 30 to produce Variant Call Format (VCF) files, from which a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of the 57 nuclear genome sequences was populated with polymorphic bases using custom Python scripts. In this VCF to MSA format conversion, heterozygous positions were assigned standard IUPAC nucleotide ambiguity codes, and insertion/deletion variants were ignored. Included sites were conservatively restricted to those uniquely mappable to the P. infestans T30-4 reference as determined by the GEnome Multitool (GEM) mappability tool (Derrien et al. 2012), using a k-mer size of 65 bp and maximum of three mismatches. These uniquely mappable regions of the genome amounted to 66.7 Mb. This master nDNA SNP alignment was filtered for various values of minimum read depth in downstream analyses.

Maximum-Likelihood Phylogenetic Analysis of Nuclear Genomes
Phylogenetic inference was performed using maximum likelihood (ML) with RAxML v7.3.5 (Stamatakis 2006) on two data sets: 1) Concatenated alignments of diploid genotypes and 2) phased haplotype sequences. All RAxML analyses employed the GTRGAMMA (General Time Reversible with the G model of among-site rate heterogeneity and four discrete rate categories) substitution model (Yang 1996). Consensus trees were created by drawing node support from 100 bootstrap replicates on the tree of highest likelihood. Each tree was rooted using P. mirabilis sequence as outgroup.
For the genotype-based analysis, master nDNA SNP alignment positions with a minimum depth of two reads were considered. To reduce computational burden, only the six largest supercontigs (comprising 861,892 SNPs) were used. For analysis of phased haplotypes, BEAGLE v3.32 (Browning 2006;Browning SR and Browning BL 2007) utilized ANGSD genotype likelihoods under default settings to infer two phased haplotype sequences and impute missing genotype calls for each reference supercontig. As BEAGLE's power to determine and impute haplotypes depends on larger sample sizes, in our analysis all individuals from all species were phased together. Only SNP positions with allelic r 2 ! 0.8 were included, but applying various thresholds for this parameter produced virtually identical phasing results. For each of the nine longest supercontigs, we used RAxML as described above to infer a phylogeny from an MSA of all haplotype sequences (2 Â 57 sequences).
To rigorously assess the phylogenetic placement of seemingly basal clonal lineages collected from non-S. tuberosum hosts, we used RAxML to perform the nonparametric SH test of topology (Shimodaira and Hasegawa 1999). For the phylogenetic analysis of each supercontig sequence alignment, this test identified any bootstrap replicate tree whose likelihood was not significantly (at the 1% level) lower than that of the highest-likelihood tree. We then used RAxML to calculate the proportion of these equally likely trees that supported each of the nodes of the highest-likelihood tree.

Bayesian Dating Analysis of Nuclear Genes
To estimate the evolutionary timescale of the nuclear genome, we used a Bayesian phylogenetic approach. Owing to the effects of recombination, different loci are likely to have incongruent genealogies, including unequal coalescence times. Accordingly, we performed a separate dating analysis of each gene and summarized the gene-specific date estimates to obtain a distribution of coalescence times. To perform the dating analysis, we limited the data set to 50 genome sequences with known collection dates. Coding sequences for each of 18,178 annotated gene and pseudogene sequences were extracted from all 57 samples and concatenated into an MSA of each gene's coding regions. We only used data from the third codon positions to minimize the confounding effects of selection on estimates of recent evolutionary events (Ho et al. 2011). To reduce the impacts of missing data (e.g., Lemmon et al. 2009), we only retained sites with data available in greater than 50% of the samples. After these steps, we excluded any genes with fewer than 500 aligned sites. This left a total of 3,676 genes for the dating analysis (supplementary file S2, Supplementary Material online). We used BEAST 1.8.0 to estimate the genealogy from each gene, with the timescale calibrated using the ages of the sequences. We used the HKY+G substitution model, representing a balance between model complexity and biological plausibility. A strict clock was assumed for all genes. Markov chain Monte Carlo analyses were run in duplicate to check for convergence.
Admixture Proportion and Genetic Differentiation Estimation ANGSD v0.588 (Nielsen et al. 2012;Korneliussen et al. 2013) was used to estimate genotype likelihoods for each sample at sites likely to contain SNP variants (command-line options -GL 1 -doGlf 2 -SNP_pval 1e-6), resulting in 1,371,306 SNP sites where genotypes passed the confidence filter in at least 14 (25%) of the individuals. We then employed NGSadmix v32 (Skotte et al. 2013) to use these genotype likelihoods to estimate the proportion of each resequenced Phytophthora spp. genome that belonged to a varying number of assumed ancestral populations under the assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (e.g., Pritchard et al. 2000). For each number of assumed ancestral populations (K) from 1 to 12, ten independent replicates of NGSadmix were performed to evaluate convergence of the simulations, and the replicate of highest likelihood was chosen. To estimate pairwise population genomic differentiation (F ST ), we used the software package ngsTools (Fumagalli et al. 2013).

TreeMix Analyses
We used TreeMix v1.12 to account for past hybridization events that violate the basic assumptions of a bifurcating phylogenetic tree. More specifically, genotypes were called from genotype likelihoods using ANGSD (command-line options -GL 1 -SNP_pval 1e-6 -doGeno 5 -baq 1 -C 50 -minQ 10 -setMinDepth 50 -doPost 2 -postCutoff 0.5 -geno_minDepth 2) and individual samples were merged into populations according to their assignments to the previously defined genetic clusters. Outgroup isolates PIC99167 (P. ipomoeae) and PIC99114 (P. mirabilis) were considered separate populations. After merging the genotype data, only biallelic variant sites without missing data were provided to TreeMix, which was run assuming from 0 to 5 migration events, with P. mirabilis as
