Potato cultivars from the mexican national program: sources and durability of resistance against late blight.
ABSTRACT The Mexican National Potato Program has produced several cultivars with high levels of field resistance. We evaluated the durability of resistance to potato late blight of a selection of 12 such cultivars using data from 1960 to the present. Data were extracted from the field notebooks located in the archives of the Mexican National Potato Program in the John S. Niederhauser Library in...
متن کاملLate Blight Resistance of RB Transgenic Potato Lines
Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), incited by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is a devastating disease affecting tuber yield and storage. Recent work has isolated a resistance gene, RB, from the wild species Solanum bulbocastanum Dun. Earlier work in Toluca, Mexico, observed significant levels of field resistance under intense disease pressure in a somatic hybrid containing R...
متن کاملContrasting Potato Foliage and Tuber Defense Mechanisms against the Late Blight Pathogen Phytophthora infestans
The late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans can attack both potato foliage and tubers. When inoculated with P. infestans, foliage of nontransformed 'Russet Burbank' (WT) develops late blight disease while that of transgenic 'Russet Burbank' line SP2211 (+RB) does not. We compared the foliar transcriptome responses of these two lines to P. infestans inoculation using an RNA-seq approach. A t...
متن کاملA New Resistance Gene against Potato Late Blight Originating from Solanum pinnatisectum Located on Potato Chromosome 7
Late blight, caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of potato. Here, we describe a new single dominant resistance gene, Rpi2, from the Mexican diploid wild species Solanum pinnatisectum that confers high level and broad spectrum resistance to late blight. The Rpi2 locus confers full resistance to complex isolates of P. infestans, for which race sp...
متن کاملDevelopment and implementation of the BlightPro decision support system for potato and tomato late blight management
A web-based decision support system (DSS) for potato and tomato late blight management has been developed which links several models into a system that enables prediction of disease dynamics based on weather conditions, crop information, and management tactics. Growers identify the location of their production unit of interest (latitude and longitude of field) and the system automatically obtai...
