Late blight is the most devastating disease of the potato crop that can be effectively
managed by growing resistant cultivars. Introgression of resistance (R) genes/quantitative …

Late blight (LB) of potato is considered one of the most devastating plant diseases in the
world. Most cultivated potatoes are susceptible to this disease. However, wild relatives of …

Late blight (LB) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary is the
greatest threat to potato production worldwide. Current potato breeding for LB resistance …

Ninety-seven accessions of 14 wild Solanum species were evaluated for late blight
resistance under natural infection conditions in the Toluca Valley, México, for two …

The late blight disease can be managed by introduction of resistance (R) genes from the
wild Solanum species into the cultivated potato. The R genes are mostly comprised of the …

Rpi-sto1). Recently these genes have been transferred into cultivated potato gene pool
using the cisgene approach. At the same time there is a high probability of finding geno …

The Rpi-blb2 gene (R gene) from the Mexican wild potato species, Solanum
bulbocastanum, was introduced into the potato variety Desiree by agro-infection in order to …

The book delves into post-genomics advances in potato improvement since the potato
genome sequencing in 2011. It includes recent developments in the field of potato genetic …

The potato crop has diploid wild relatives in the primitive 1EBN crossability group that have
a wealth of desirable traits, but are currently difficult to access through conventional …

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors mediate immune responses by
directly or indirectly sensing pathogen-derived effectors. Despite significant advances in the …
