X Abstract

Late blight in potato is caused by the fungusPhytophthora infestans and can inflict severe damage on the potato crop. Resistance toP. infestans is either based on major dominantR genes conferring vertical, race-specific resistance or on “minor” genes inducing horizontal, unspecific resistance. A dihaploid potato line was identified which carried theR1 gene, conferring vertical resistance to allP. infestans races, with the exception of those homozygous for the recessive virulence allele of the locusV1. The F1 progeny of a cross between this resistant parent P(R1) and P(r), a line susceptible to all races, was analysed for segregation ofR1 and of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers distributed on the potato RFLP map comprising more than 300 loci. TheR1 locus was mapped to chromosome V in the interval between RFLP markers GP21 and GP179. The map position ofR1 was found to be very similar to the one ofRx2, a dominant locus inducing extreme resistance to potato virus X.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
