Oct 20, 2022 · Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease in potato production. Here, we show full late blight resistance in a location with a genetically diverse pathogen population with the use of GM potato stacked with three resistance (R) genes over three seasons.

Oct 16, 2014 · Late blight is an important disease in potato that is caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans. In the past, Solanum demissum late blight resistance (R) genes were introgressed into cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum).
Sep 30, 2021 · Abstract. Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease in potato-producing regions of the world. Cultivation of resistant varieties is the most effective and environmentally friendly way to control potato late blight disease, and identification of germplasms with late blight resistance and ...
