May 18, 2018 · A potato variety genetically engineered to resist potato blight can help reduce the use of chemical fungicides by up to 90 percent, according to a new study - drastically reducing the environmental impact of potato farming.
Jan 6, 2022 · Due to the significant damage caused by this pathogen, much research has been carried out to obtain resistant varieties. About 50 resistance genes (R genes) have been found against late blight through genome studies on wild potato-related species.
Dec 19, 2014 · This first potato germplasm collection was widely used to study potato cytogenetics by Vladimir Rybin (Rybin, 1929, 1933) and interspecific hybridization by Abram Kameraz (Bukasov and Kameraz, 1959) whose results were used for developing potato taxonomy and phylogeny.
