The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, is the second most consumed vegetable
worldwide and a well‐studied crop species in terms of genetics, genomics, and breeding. It …

▪ Abstract Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is a highly effective approach for studying
genetically complex forms of plant disease resistance. With QTL mapping, the roles of …

Potato is produced on all continents except Antarctica and is the world's third most important
food crop. Potato production has increased dramatically in developing countries in the past …

Improved genotypes developed by plant breeding remain pivotal to global food security. In
the wake of ever-increasing human population, declining agricultural resources and the …

Advances in plant cell molecular biology have considerably increased our understanding of
pollen-pistil barriers, particularly those operated by incompatibility mechanisms, and, at the …

Inbreeding depression confers reduced fitness among the offspring of genetic relatives. As a
clonally propagated crop, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) suffers from severe inbreeding …

▪ Abstract Nineteen single dominant genes (R genes) for resistance to viruses, nematodes,
and fungi have been positioned on the molecular map of potato using DNA markers …

The genome of potato, a major global food crop, was recently sequenced. The work
presented here details the integration of the potato reference genome (DM) with a new …

The progress made in DNA marker technology has been tremendous and exciting. DNA
markers have provided valuable tools in various analyses ranging from phylogenetic …

A considerable number of highly diverse species exist in genus Solanum. Because they can
adapt to a broad range of habitats, potato wild relatives are promising sources of desirable …
